This document describes a standardized test method for determining the adhesion of paint, varnish or other coatings. The method involves applying the coating to a test panel, then bonding dollies to the coated surface using an adhesive. The bonded assemblies are placed in a tensile tester and subjected to a controlled tensile test to measure the force required to break the coating-substrate bond. Test parameters such as dolly size, adhesive selection, substrate material, and coating application and drying are specified to standardize the test method. The results indicate the minimum tensile stress needed to detach the coating from the substrate.
This document provides standards for evaluating the performance of coal cleaning equipment. It defines key performance criteria such as feed rate, reference density of separation, and accuracy of separation. Standard test procedures and analytical methods are outlined to determine performance parameters like partition density, separation sharpness, distribution of correctly and incorrectly placed material, ash error, and yield error. The document also provides recommendations for presenting coal cleaning test data in a uniform manner to allow for comparison of performance levels.
This document discusses the history and evolution of inventory management. It begins with early merchants keeping handwritten records of products before the Industrial Revolution. Herman Hollerith then invented punch cards in 1889, allowing data to be recorded and read by machines. In the 1930s, Harvard University created a punch card system for businesses to track inventory and orders. However, this was too expensive and slow. In the 1960s, retailers developed barcodes to more efficiently track inventory, which were later standardized in 1974. As computers advanced, inventory management software in warehouses became popular in the 1990s and 2000s. The document then discusses definitions of inventory, types of inventory, purposes for holding inventory, costs associated with inventory, and inventory control and management.
This document provides an overview of an inventory control course. The course will cover deterministic and stochastic inventory models, including lot sizing models and extensions, reorder point determination, quantity discounts, and the Wagner-Whitin algorithm. It will also cover newsvendor models, period review models, multi-echelon models, and forecasting. The course content will analyze optimality of various inventory policies and production smoothing. It will provide an introduction to inventory management concepts and frameworks for modeling inventory systems.
The document discusses various aspects of product design and service operations management. It covers topics such as concept development, quality function deployment, concurrent engineering, process flow design, types of processes and facilities, service strategy and classifications, service system design, service recovery, service failsafing, and designing service systems. The document provides information on frameworks, tools, and considerations for product design and managing service operations effectively.
Operations management involves designing, operating, and improving systems that produce and deliver a firm's products and services. Studying operations management provides a systematic approach to organizational processes and can increase competitive advantage. Current trends include increasing exports, focus on productivity, and outsourcing of manufacturing and services. Key concepts are efficiency, effectiveness, and value. Operations management decisions must consider tradeoffs between factors like cost, quality, delivery, and flexibility.
This document provides an overview of strategic management concepts including:
- Defining a strategy as a business approach to generate successful competitive moves.
- The key questions in strategy of where the organization is, where it wants to go, and how it will get there.
- The tasks involved in strategic management like defining mission/objectives, crafting/implementing/evaluating strategy.
- Types of objectives including financial and strategic examples.
- Components of a strategic plan and examples of external/internal analysis tools like SWOT, Five Forces, and competitor analysis.
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 3 of Slack, Chambers and Johnston's Operations Management textbook. It discusses operations strategy, comparing it to operations management. Operations strategy involves longer timescales, higher levels of analysis and aggregation, and more abstract and philosophical decisions compared to operations management. The chapter also outlines different perspectives on operations strategy, including top-down, bottom-up, market requirements, and operations resources views. Finally, it discusses how competitive factors relate to different performance objectives.
This document contains practice problems related to productivity measurement. It provides the calculations to measure total factor productivity, multi-factor productivity, partial productivity, and labor productivity. It examines these measures for a clay pigeon corporation and car manufacturer. It also calculates labor productivity, multi-factor productivity, and the maximum labor rate that does not reduce productivity, given information on production units, labor hours, material costs, and selling prices.
The document discusses dynamic design for anchors subjected to fatigue loads. It defines fatigue loads as loads that occur in a large number of cycles, producing changes in stress that can decrease material strength over time. Fatigue relevant loads from multiple load cases must be considered together. Materials experience reduced strength under fatigue loading compared to static loads. Concrete and steel strengths both decrease after millions of cycles. Anchors subjected to frequent loading cycles may fail due to steel fatigue. Pretensioning anchors improves their behavior under dynamic loads by reducing the fatigue-relevant load in the anchor.
This document outlines requirements for fuel-oil piping and storage systems in New York City. It covers general provisions, material standards, joints/connections, piping supports, and fuel-oil system installation. Key points include:
- Systems must comply with chapter requirements and NFPA 31. Storage over 1,100 gallons also requires compliance with NY environmental regulations.
- Appliances must be designed for the type of fuel connected. Conversions require approval.
- Piping material standards include brass, copper, steel, and listed nonmetallic pipe. Joints must be approved for the application.
- Installation must include provisions for expansion/contraction, protection of piping/equipment, and requirements for supply/

Alternative au Tramway de la ville de Quebec Rev 1 sml.pdfDaniel Bedard
CDPQ Infra dévoile un plan de mobilité de 15 G$ sur 15 ans pour la région de Québec. Une alternative plus économique et rapide, ne serait-elle pas posssible?
- Valoriser les infrastructures ferroviaires du CN, en créant un Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) plutôt qu'un nouveau tramway ou une combinaison des 2.
- Optimiser l'utilisation des rails pour un transport combiné des marchandises et des personnes, en accordant une priorité aux déplacements des personnes aux heures de pointes.
- Intégrer un téléphérique transrives comme 3ème lien urbain dédiés aux piétons et cyclistes avec correspondance avec le REM.
- Le 3 ème lien routier est repensé en intégrant un tunnel routier qui se prolonge avec le nouveau pont de l'Île d'Orléans et quelques réaménagemet de ses chausées.

CDPQ Infra unveils a $15 billion, 15-year mobility plan for the Quebec region. Wouldn't a more economical and faster alternative be possible?
Leverage CN's railway infrastructure by creating a Metropolitan Express Network (REM) instead of a new tramway or a combination of both.
Optimize the use of rails for combined freight and passenger transport, giving priority to passenger travel during peak hours.
Integrate a cross-river cable car as a third urban link dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists, with connections to the REM.
Rethink the third road link by integrating a road tunnel that extends with the new Île d'Orléans bridge and some reconfiguration of its lanes.
