...WOMEN’S HIGH HEEL DISCOMFORT ANALYSIS AND PROTOTYPE SOLUTION A Senior Project submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in General Engineering And Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo by Kevin Blakley and Annamarie Kepple February 2013 Graded by: ______________ Date of Submission__________________________ Checked by: _____________ Approved by: _____________________________ Page 1 of 76 ABSTRACT WOMEN’S HIGH HEEL DISCOMFORT ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION Kevin Blakley and Annamarie Kepple Women love high heeled shoes, but this love comes at the cost of comfort. Wearing high heels causes a lot of pain and, in the long term, health complications. This project tries to overcome the problem by ultimately making high heels more comfortable. In order to do this, one must first understand the reasons that high heels are uncomfortable, such as arch angle, heel height, and the changes in walking motion. Once there is a true understanding of the factors that contribute to high heel discomfort, the design stage can begin. The design selected for this project was a wedge heel that contained compressive material. This design would improve user comfort in four different criteria. These criteria were arch angle, compression of the shoe, foot rotation, and ground contact surface area of the heel. After the working prototype was created, it was performance...

...Working Time Around the World John Maynard Keynes once made the bold prediction that the three-hour work day would prevail for his grandchildren’s generation. Seventy years later, the question of working time is as pertinent as it was at the inception of the 40-hour week. Not until now, however, has there been a global comparative analysis of working time laws, policies and actual working hours. Despite a century-long optimism about reduced working hours and some progress in legal measures limiting working hours, this book demonstrates that differences in actual working hours between industrialized and developing countries remain considerable – without any clear sign of hours being reduced. This study aims to offer some suggestions about how this gap can begin to be closed. Lee, McCann and Messenger trace the theoretical background of the concept of working time before examining recent trends in working time laws in developing countries and countries in transition. The study then shifts its focus to developments in selected countries, considering both broad trends in working time at a national level and the structure and dynamics underlying these trends. The authors provide a remarkable set of policy suggestions that preserve health and safety, are ‘family-friendly’, promote gender equality, enhance productivity and facilitate workers’ choice and influence over their working hours. This book will be of great interest to policy-makers engaged with working conditions or health...

Executive Summary The Readymade Garment (RMG) sector in Bangladesh is a highly export oriented sector and therefore extremely volatile to requirements of international buyers. Since the adherence to international social standards has become a mandatory requirement in the international business arena, the local suppliers have to be compliant to these standards in order to remain in business. There have been some significant revisions to the Bangladesh Labor Law in 2006. This newly revised law already covers a lot of the common standards like employment conditions, occupational health and safety issues as well as the ILO core labor standards. Besides being complaint...

This does not entail that BI Norwegian School of Management has cleared the methods applied, the results presented, nor the conclusions drawn” Jotun China – All the Colours in the World Executive summary Jotun Kemisk Fabrik A/S was founded in March 1926, operating only in Norway until 1962 when it began to expand internationally. Today Jotun operates in more than 70 countries, and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of paints and coatings. Jotun has been in the Chinese market since 1983, initially focusing only on marine coatings and protective coatings where the brand became very successful. Encouraged by this, Jotun China decided to enter the Chinese decorative paint market in 2001 with the long term goal of becoming the market’s leading brand. However, after 8 years in the Chinese decorative paint market, Jotun China has not been able to replicate its previous successes. Therefore, we the authors of this thesis, working in collaboration with Jotun China staff, set out first to determine the viability of Jotun’s latest strategy for the Chinese decorative paint market, and second to suggest concrete steps to follow if and when executing this strategy. Our findings...

...Service QualityLEARNING OBJECTIVESAfter completing this chapter, you should be able to: 1. Describe and illustrate the five dimensions of service quality. 2. Use the service quality gap model to diagnose quality problems for a service firm. 3. Describe how the SERVQUAL survey instrument is used to measure gaps in a service firm's quality. 4. Illustrate how Taguchi methods and poka-yoke methods are applied to quality design in services. 5. Construct a "house of quality" as part of a quality function deployment project. 6. Construct a statistical process control chart for service operation. 7. Use a fishbone chart in a cause-and-effect analysis. 8. Compare and contrast the quality program features espoused by Philip Crosby and W. Edward Deming. 9. Describe the features of an unconditional service guarantee and its managerial benefits.10. Discuss the concept of a service recovery.Service "with a smile" used to be enough to satisfy most customers. Today, however, some service firms differentiate themselves in the marketplace by offering a "service guarantee." Unlike a product warranty, which promises to repair or replace the faulty item, service guarantees typically offer the dis satisfied customer a refund, discount, or free service. Take, for example, the First Interstate Bank of California. After interviewing its customers, the bank management discovered that they were annoyed by a number of recurring problems, such as inaccurate statements and broken automatic teller machines...
