Chan, Felix T. S., Chan, H. K., Lau, Henry C. W., & Ip, Ralph W. L. (2006), An AHP approach in benchmarking logistics performance of the postal industry, Benchmarking, Bradford 2006, Vol. 13, Iss. 6, pg 636.

Anonymous, (2008 Dec) Time to take stock of the supply chain, Logistics Manager, London: p. 34.

Many practices can continue almost as a habit without anyone actually sitting down and thrashing out the rationale for each process or operation. DHL understands that its success and that of its clients are intrinsically linked to efficiency and effectiveness of operational processes. Sharing the value delivered through these improvements between the partners is a key enabler in driving out cost. “Within the retail and consumer group at DHL Exel Supply Chain, we’ve already held almost 100 Process Improvement/DMAIC workshops this year, which have contributed to continuous improvements and identified effectiveness equating to pound 4m.”

Another tactic for cutting supply chain costs is to look at the whole value chain—physical flows, information, financial flows, systems, business structure/silos, culture, etc. “We offer our customers these as ‘Value Chain Assessments’ (VCA), where a customer may have a broad question—where is the risk in my supply chain? Where are my major costs and how can I impact them? Answering these questions is often easier said than done as many in-company logistics or supply chain managers lack visibility beyond their own supply chain operations. We can fill in the gaps in the picture—especially with today’s highly complex and extended retail supply chains. With a wide range of clients, 3PLs can provide benchmarking and information on best practice drawn from a range of industries, as well as practical deliverable solutions. Our VCA methodology challenges our customers to embrace change—but it also challenges our own teams to do likewise. Success is not in the delivery of VCA report—it’s in being a catalyst to deliver benefits to our customers.”

In an essay of 3 pages, answer the following questions:

1.Explain why a two-stage benchmarking methodology that utilizes performance evaluation metrics followed by continuous improvement metrics could be a useful tool for achieving a competitive advantage.

2.Discuss why the inclusion of the second phase, related to continuous improvement, represents a step forward from traditional benchmarking approaches.

3.Evaluate the general adequacy of the major performance criteria used in the AHP article for assessing logistics applied to other types of organizations. Feel free to suggest additions or modifications in the performance criteria if you believe there are inadequacies in the current criteria.

4.Describe the role a 3PL could play in implementing an effective benchmarking approach.

Assignment Expectations

Display an in-depth understanding of the role of benchmarking, the metrics that can be used in benchmarking to assess best practices, and how the benchmarking process is integrated into the strategic management effort. Display a critical assessment of the benefits and limitations of the two phases of a double Analytic Hierarchical Process approach to benchmarking. Use critical thinking, clarity of logic, and synthesis of the current course materials with previous courses in assessing the relationship of the AHP approach to a continuous process improvement initiative.

Integration of a Wind Power System into a UK Business Building Electrical Load
Order Details/Description

Details of an industrial building (including photos and power consumption) are given and the students are asked to carry out a feasibility study of possible inclusion of renewable wind power system into the building electrical load.

and you find two files from old students to help you

• Physical, technological and economic factors that determine the design and use of renewable wind energy systems.
• Statistical characterisation of the site wind resource.
• Design and analysis of the renewable wind energy generation system to adequately cope with power demand of the industrial building.
• The ability to present results in a structured written report.
• The ability to carry out internet searches for up-to-date technical information on renewable wind technological solutions and products

THE BRIEF
The UK’s new and existing buildings must adjust to a low carbon economy. Investing in renewable and energy efficient projects is important to help industry and government achieve the target of generating 15% of energy from renewable sources by 2020. Wind energy development provides significant positive economic impacts and delivers deep cuts in CO2 emissions.

1. This assignment is based on a competition challenging entrants to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of UK industrial buildings by 50%.
2. The following information is provided in the accompanied brief file:
a. Photographs of the Raleigh Technical Design Ltd (RTD) headquarters building,
b. The wind data of the site,
c. The site energy information, which includes brief description of the following:
i. Floor areas and electrical consumption,
ii. Annual electricity cost,
iii. Current working schedules.

3. The table below shows the annual electricity use and cost, and related carbon dioxide emissions of the RTD headquarters building before applying the wind energy integration measure. These energy data provides the baseline electricity consumption, which can be enhanced by the addition of intermittent energy supplied by renewable wind source.

Electricity
Annual energy use (kWh) 311406.4
Annual energy cost (inc VAT) £23,066.09
Unit cost (p/kWh) 7.4
kWh/m2 floor area 838
Carbon dioxide emissions (kg-CO2) 115535.1
Carbon dioxide per area (kg-CO2/m2) 310.9

4. You are asked to carry out a feasibility study of possible inclusion of renewable wind energy technology into the UK business building electrical load. For this you may use the help of RETScreen, an interactive software tool, which will allow you to investigate renewable wind energy strategies and explore different options in the design process for a proposed building electrical load. RETScreen, provided free-of-charge, can be downloaded from: http://www.retscreen.net. However, other methods of analysis are equally accepted.

5. You are also asked to describe the design rules which the integrated wind energy technology should follow to operate optimally and how the output of conventional energy system (electricity from the grid) will need to be adjusted more often to cope with fluctuations in wind energy output; why wind power source should be used? Assume that you have power storage in this sustainable energy system (Grid-connection or battery), how would design rules change then?

6. For the annual energy consumption of the building and using the hybrid (conventional and renewable wind) energy system design, determine:
i. The maximum capacity of renewable wind energy system that can be incorporated into the building power load,
ii. The annual energy production and savings that can be achieved with intelligent use and control of renewable wind and storage system,
iii. The annual energy cost with renewable wind, overall savings in primary energy use and CO2 emissions,
iv. The optimum power-generating efficiency and the payback period of the integrated renewable wind energy/storage system.

Notes:
In order to meet its challenging greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, the UK Government has developed a number of incentive schemes to encourage renewable energy production, including:
Ø Feed-in tariffs (FITs), introduced in April 2010 to encourage small scale, low carbon electricity generation.
The actual electricity price for the non-domestic sector including climate change Levy and VAT is 11.8 p/kWh (DECC),
The actual CO2 emission factor for electricity generated in UK is 0.527 kg/kWh (DEFRA).

The client is interested in the salary distributions of jobs in the State of Minnesota. The salaries range from $40,000 to $120,000 per year. For this purpose, the data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics will be analysed. The data contains the following information.

•           The listing of the jobs by title

•           The salary amount (in dollars) for each job

The variables in the data set are:

1.  Salary– This isQuantitative and Continuous variable. These numbers cover a range from $40,000 to $120,000.

2.  Title of the job – This is Qualitative (non-numeric) and Categorical variable. It lists the name of the jobs.

Choosing the “Salary” quantitative variable from the data set to construct a frequency distribution.

Summarizing the data set as below:

Smallest number = 40,170

Largest number = 119,850

ð  Range = Largest Number – Smallest Number = 119,850 – 40,170 = 79,680

On considering 6 classes, the class width will be 79,680/6= 13,280

But, we need to round up, so will use 13,500 as class width.Our classes will be:

40,001– 53,500

53,501 –67,000

67,001– 80,500

80,501 – 94,000

94,001 – 107,500

107,501– 121,000

Then, counting the number of jobs in each class, we get the frequencies as below:

Class

Frequency

40,001 – 53,500

154

53,501 – 67,000

93

67,001 – 80,500

48

80,501 – 94,000

39

94,001 – 107,500

18

107,501 – 121,000

12

The midpoint of each class can be calculated as:

Midpoint = (Lower class limit + Upper class limit)/2

The relative frequency of each class can be calculated for a data set of size n by:

Relative frequency = Class frequency / Sample size = f / n

The cumulative frequency of each class can be calculated as:

Relative frequency =Sum of the frequencies of that class and all previous classes

Class

From the frequency distribution table, we can understand that uppermost class has the highest frequency of 154 jobs. And, we go the down the classes, the associated frequency number is reducing. This indicates that the data is majorly gathered in the salary range of $40,000 – $53,499.

Histogram: A frequency histogram is a graphical way to summarize a frequency distribution. It is a bar graph with the following:

1.  Horizontal axis measuring the data values – Salary

2.  Vertical axis measuring the frequencies – Class frequencies

The height of the bars indicate the frequency (number of jobs) in each class.The distribution is peaked towards the left side, skewed to the left, also called as negatively skewed. This distribution has a large number of occurrences in the upper classes (right side of graph) and few in the lower cells (left side of the graph).

Conclusion:The frequency distribution and histogram indicates that around 42% of the total jobs (relative frequency of the first class) in the State of Minnesota have a salary in the range of $40,000 – $53,499. It can be also inferred that high salaried jobs are less and vice versa.

Part 2

Measures of Center: The measures of center is a value that allows to summarize a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data.

The measures of center are:

(i)  Mean – the arithmetic average value

https://statistics.laerd.com/statistical-guides/img/measures-of-central-tendency-1.png

(ii)  Median – the point which divides the data set into equal halves (middle value of the data set)

(iii)  Mode – The value that occurs most often in a data set (most repeated value)

Measures of Variation: Tomeasure how much the data varies from the center. It is helps to measure the extent to which data are dispersed (or) spread out.

The measures of variation are:

(i)  Range –Measures thedifference betweenthe largest and smallestvalues of the data. It tells us the width of our dataset.

o  R = max – min

(ii)  Mid Range–Measure the average of the highest and lowest number of the data.

(iii)  Variance –Measures the amount of variability (deviation) of every observation from the mean of the data set.

(iv)  Standard Deviation – The square root of a variance

Calculations: Measures of center and Measures of variation

a.         Mean = Sum of the Data / Total Number of Values = (22,679,430) / 364 = 62,306

b.         Median = Middle Value of the Given Data Set = (56,440 + 56,600)/2 = 56,520

Arranging the salary amountfrom lowest to highest value and picking the one in the middle. Since, we have an even number of data values the median is the mean of the two values in the middle.

c.         Mode = Most Repeated Value in the Given Data = 40,170

d.         Midrange = Average of the highest and lowest number

ð  (40,170 + 119,850)/2 = 80,010

e.         Range = Maximum Value – Minimum Value = 119,850 – 40,170 = 79,680

f.          Variance = 365,684,995

g.         Standard Deviation = √Variance = √365,684,995 = 19,122.89 ~ 199,123      

5 – Number Summary:

§  Maximum = 119,850

§  Median = Middle Value of the Given Data Set = (56,440 + 56,600)/2 = 56,520

§  Lower Quartile (Q1) = Q1 is the median in the lower half of the data  = 46,757.5

§  Upper Quartile (Q3) = Q3 is the median in the upper half of the data  = 73,357.5

§  Minimum = 40,170

Conclusion:There are 364 unique jobs and salaries listed in the given data set.On analysing the data, we understand that the most repeated salary value is $40,170 and median salary in the State of Minnesota is $56,520.

In any design effort, it is imperative that designers not waste time “reinventing the wheel.” One of the early actions a design team should address is what designs, technologies or processes related to the project have been previously discovered, and what products or processes are currently available to facilitate the design task. The assigned chapter 5 from “Engineering Design” by Dieter, found in the Classroom Slides and Resources folder on BBLearn, provides an excellent breakdown of the different types of references that might be useful. Further, the classroom discussion with Library Resources will provide you convenient tools to get the literature review successfully underway.

Your final report will include many references that will be cited in the body of the document. To get you started, this assignment requires you to find, summarize, synthesize and properly cite several references that relate to your selected project.

DUE: Upload to BBLearn by Monday, February 15th

Assignment
The following must be included as a minimum:

At least 5 references that are relevant to the design project.

At least one of each of the following types of references should be used (see Dieter Ch. 5):
An engineering handbook or report (either posted online from a manufacturer or organization, hardcopy from the library or faculty member, or a cline library accessible Ebook)
A current book publication (or textbook)
A patent
A peer-reviewed journal article (use Ulrich’s Web to ensure it is peer reviewed)
http://ulrichsweb.serialssolutions.com.libproxy.nau.edu/

For each reference, you must summarize what the reference concerns and how it may relate to or inform your design project. It is important that you not simply explain what information the reference provided, but more importantly, explain how the information is important to your design. You must cite the reference within the text of you literature review, and then include a bibliography (i.e. list of references) at the end of the document you submit. For this class you are to use the IEEE style when citing references and formatting your citations at the end of the document. IEEE formatting guidelines can be found on pages 36-42 of the following web document, http://www.ieee.org/documents/style_manual.pdf.

Creating a library of references in RefWorks will allow for easier formatting, but the software is not foolproof. You need to edit the list of references at the end of the document to be sure they have been inserted properly, and if not, they should be corrected. DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) should be used in the citation when possible. If the resource used was located online, then be sure to properly cite where the online reference was found using the IEEE guidelines.

This assignment should conclude with a summary discussing the content you have uncovered, how these pieces of information relate to each other and how together they will assist your team in the design project.

Comparative Citations from Each Team

This is an individual assignment, but you are strongly encouraged to discuss which type of searches each team member would like to use. Your team as a whole must not duplicate references. In the case of such duplications, a grade of zero will be assigned to the memos. The memos will be returned and must be resubmitted with new references to replace the duplicates.

It would be most efficient if each member of the team focuses on different aspects of the design. For example, one student may decide to research established carbon dioxide capture systems. Another may research CO2 utilization or storage scenarios, and yet another may look at gas handling systems around gas compression, storage, cleaning, etc. Even if you are closely coordinating with other members of your team, you must write your own literature review.

Grading

The literature review will be worth 80 points (8% of the total course grade) and based on writing quality, correct citation referencing, citation formatting and content.

The writing quality is based upon your grammar, spelling, punctuation and writing styles based on the content provided in the third writing module. (25% – 20 pts).

The citation referencing will be based on correct and consistent formatting throughout the document, both in the text of the document and in the list of references at the end. A warning, DO NOT simply copy and paste a listed reference citation. It may not be correct, and the reference will likely not be given in IEEE format. You may export a citation into RefWorks from online searches, but still be sure to edit the references before turning in your final assignment. Refworks is not fool-proof. (25% – 20 pts)

All content requested above must be included within the document. Grading will be based on how well you described the relevance of the reference information to your semester design project, how the information will be used and how well you synthesized the references to understand how they relate to each other and how together they will inform your design (50% – 40 pts)

Question 1

A group of engineering students are venturing to build a human powered aircraft as shown in Fig .1. The aircraft is to be designed with a wing span of 30 meters to achieve sufficient lift. The main load bearing element on the wing is an aluminium spar that extends along the length of the wing. The cockpit and supporting structures (without the wing) is expected to weigh AB kg excluding a pilot of 70 kg, the propeller mass is BC kg. Accordingly, to aid with the design of the wing apply the principles of engineering mechanics to analyse the following cases.

Fig. 1a

If the wing is to be designed with 4 aerofoil ribs of mass ABC grams each attached to the aluminium spar as shown in Fig 1b. Calculate the necessary support reaction to keep the aircraft in vertical equilibrium with the pilot assuming that the aircraft is simply supported at the wing ends. (Note: we are analysing for this case as this is the worst case of bending for the aluminium spar.)

If the maximum bending stress the aluminium spar can withstand before yielding is 40 MPa, predict the smallest possible diameter for a solid aluminium spar without any factor of safety. (Material performance of aluminium: Young’s modulus = 68.9 MPa, Shear Modulus = 26 MPa, Poisson’s ratio = 0.3).
[10%]

If the solid spar is to be replaced by a hollow spar of external diameter 2.5 times the internal diameter.

HINT: See Chapters 29 and 30 of the text to help understand some of the legal issues covered in this assignment.

Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on the market to be rented for $800.00 a month. Larry Landlord has been in business for approximately five (5) years and has had both positive and negative experiences with tenants. Larry Landlord is hoping to find a good, long-term tenant for his apartment. Roger Renter saw Larry’s sign for the apartment for rent and thought the location and the apartment would be perfect. Roger met Larry to look at the apartment and Roger fell in love with it. All of the interior fixtures had been replaced and the unit had a nice large closet. Roger noticed that although newly painted, the exterior of the apartment did show a little bit of wear. Because of the condition of the exterior of the building, Roger asked Larry about any roof leaks. Larry stated that he had never had a leak and was not aware of any leaks.

Roger and Larry entered into a valid contract for the rental of the apartment. (Note: The issue of whether or not a contract exists is NOT part of this question. For purposes of this question assume the contract is valid and there are no issues with the contract.)

Roger Renter was very happy in his new location; the apartment was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Larry Landlord was also very happy because Roger Renter was a model tenant. Roger Renter paid on time and was quiet and respectful to other tenants.

The part of the country where Roger rented was rainy in the summertime. Roger rented and moved into the apartment in October. In June, a tremendous rainstorm occurred and Roger’s roof began to leak. The leak was minor at first and Roger merely put a trash can under the leak and had no other issues that month. When handing over his monthly rent check, Roger told Larry about the small leak. Larry thanked Roger for letting him know about the leak and told Roger he would have it fixed.

The next month the rains came again and the leak grew larger in Roger’s apartment. Roger was not home at the time of the rain and therefore the leak damaged some of Roger’s furniture. Roger called Larry to let him know that there was a leak and asked when it might be fixed. Roger also stated that he thought Larry had fixed the roof. Larry curtly stated, “When it rains, sometimes it pours. When it pours, sometimes it leaks.” Roger did not like Larry’s tone or response and called back to ask when the roof might be fixed. Larry stated, “When I get to it.” The following day, Roger sent Larry a note about the roof leak and asked Larry to please address the issue.

The week before the rent was due, another rainstorm occurred and the leak was even larger. This time the leak damaged Roger’s clothing, furniture, and some precious items he had inherited from family members. Roger called Larry and asked Larry to fix roof immediately. Larry responded in a similar and condescending manner. Roger hung up the phone and threw his baseball bat against the wall, damaging the drywall and knocking out an electrical socket.

Since it was the rainy season, Roger knew it would rain again and therefore simply moved his items away from the leak and did nothing to help mitigate the damage from the leaking roof.

Larry came into the apartment to investigate the leak and found damage from not only the leak but also from the thrown baseball bat. Roger states that the baseball bat damage was a direct result of Larry’s inability to fix the leak based on his anger from Larry’s curt response.
