Introduction
For this project we got the assignment to use our skills in Technical drawing, BOM and our understanding of processes and materials used for a coat tree named “Agnes”. To fulfil this assignment we are going to make drawings of the individual pieces from the coat tree, furthermore we are making an assembly drawing of the whole “Agnes”. To get the understanding of how the coat tree is produced, a bill of materials (BOM) is made to show what kind of parts are used and how many of them, furthermore we will make a part description, showing what material is used for each part and how it is made or if we order it from a supplier. We have chosen to develop a product structure tree to visualize the different levels of the different parts “Agnes” is made of.

The BOM is a list of items, showing what is used to make a specific product. In this BOM a list is made to show which items are used to the production of the coat tree “Agnes”. In the chart the individual items are given their own ID numbers. An explanation is stated below: ID number starting with 000”?”, are self-produced products. ID number starting with 010”?”, are items ordered from supplier used for the head piece. ID number starting with 020”?”, are items ordered from supplier used for the middle piece. - ID numbers starting with 030”?”, are items produced from supplier used for the bottom piece. Two item numbers are used different places in the product, so these differ from the guidelines written above. This goes for item 0103 – tip and 0201 – screw 17,2x4,9 flat. The BOM shows how many parts of each item are needed for the assembling, what materials it is made of and what color it is in. It is also stated whether it is finished goods or raw materials and/or an individual drawings are made.

Conclusion
We have concluded that a simple coat tree is very complicated and have a lot of different aspects to take into consideration. It is a complicated process to develop and start manufacturing products. It was a challenge to draw the different parts of “Agnes” because of the many different bends, arches and angles which needs to be covered, but we succeeded. we found out that there is different things to taken into consideration when deciding which of the items we produce ourselves. Plastic is ordered from suppliers and the only thing we do with it, is to assemble it with the rest of our parts. The metal parts, except the screws, has gone through a process and is developed from a raw material to the finished goods. The finished goods, which we produced ourselves connected with the parts ordered from our supplier(s) are assembled to the final “Agnes”.

Individual reflection
Jonas Søgaard Petersen
During our work with the “Agnes” project we have developed a great teamwork. We have had some discussions during the report and during the drawing of the different parts of “Agnes”, but in the end we have always been able to compromise. I think that we, with this group, have a solid foundation for the SPV1. We have been great at handing out different tasks like the BOM and the structure tree and finishing inside the demanded deadline. The hardest thing within this project has been to draw my individual drawing. I am not the best drawer and have had some problems during this course. But through great teamwork and help from my group members I have improved, and come up with a great result.

Esben Skovsgaard Simonsen
We have worked with our drawing project “Agnes”. We have gone through the assignment and found the necessary things to complete the task. We have found and deduced the BOM and made the drawings and sketches of “Agnes”. We have a good teamwork in the group and we have solved all the problems, by working together and helping each other. I think we have made a good thorough project as a team.

17

In my individual drawing I chose to make the “shaft” and the “Water collector joint”, and I used the information and skills we have gained through our classes in Technical drawing.

Dovile Putnaite
While working on our PRTV1 Project "Agnes", as a group, we learned how to put together different kind of views into best possible solution. This project, also, helped us to know each other better, that goes without saying - this made a good starting point for our SPV1 Project. Even though, we had different tasks, but during the process we were helping to each other and bonding more as a group. As for myself, doing this project I could have a look at engineering from a different point of view. And what I have seen and experienced - I liked it a lot. To sum up, now I can tell that our group made really good and promising job for our future projects.

Anders Byriel-Thygesen
During the PRTV1 project regarding the coat tree “Agnes”, since I very much enjoy the technical drawing and it comes easy to me, I have been the helping hand for the ones in the group which finds this more challenging than me. Regarding to the project in total it gave me a good insight of usage the BOM combined with the isometric drawing ending in a finished “total product solution”. The group worked out really well, we all have different personalities and different competences, but we work pretty well together, we are good at helping one and another, and I enjoy the atmosphere is the group, we get the work done and manage still to have a good time, which is very important for me.

Sara Poulsen
At the beginning for this PRTV1 project, we started out making a kind of brainstorming out loud. We came up with what our different ideas and thoughts of how the ending result should be. As a group we decided that all the drawings should be done in computer, for the best visual result. I have made the drawing of the coat hanger foot, which has been very instructive. I started out by making a sketch of the foot, and then Anders was my “mouse” for drawing the item on the computer – since my computer is not compatible for this type of program.

18

Throughout this project we have really learnt to work together and see the different point of views people have – which is a good asset to the group. Based on this group project, I think we are off to a very promising teamwork and project regarding the next group project.

How Have Changes in Technology Contributed to the Globalization of Markets and of Production? Would the Globalization of Products and Markets Have Been Possible Without These Technological Changes?

...share information and transport goods worldwide. The advancement in telecommunications and transportation has had major impacts on the globalization of markets and on production. The major rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web has directly impacted these technological advances. The development of microprocessors has also been a large factor. The growth of low-cost but high-powered computing has boosted the amount of information that can be processed by firms and individuals. Advances in telecommunication technology are a direct result of the microprocessor. Massive amounts of data and information are encoded, transmitted and decoded by microprocessors powering the telecommunications technology. Microprocessors have consistently dropped in prices as their processing power increases. This phenomenon between the relationships of cost versus power of microprocessors is known as Moore’s law. As Moore’s Law continues, the cost of global communications falls drastically. The lowered cost of communications and the ability for buyers and sellers to find each other online reduces the barriers such as location, time zones and scale. This allows businesses and individuals to have a global presence and control and coordinate their globally dispersed production systems. Major innovations have occurred in transpiration technology as well as telecommunications. Innovations such as commercial jet aircraft, containerization and super-freighters have shrunk the cost of transportation and the time...

Effects of Advanced Technology to Production of Food

... EFFECTS OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCTION OF FOOD A Review of Related Literature submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Economics Crystalgene D. Silorio August 10, 2015 INTRODUCTION The world has progressed through hunter–gatherer, agricultural, and industrial stages to provider of goods and services. This progression has been catalyzed by the cultural and social evolution of mankind and the need to solve specific societal issues, such as the need for preservation to free people from foraging for food, and the need for adequate nutrition via consistent food supply year round. These forces led to the development of the food industry, which has contributed immensely to the basis for a healthy human civilization and helped society prosper and flourish (Lund 1989). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, our population is increasing, and we need a 70% increase in food production. We have to grow, harvest, distribute, and consume our food more efficiently to feed all those people. We are not gaining more farmers or any other resources, and the production of our food is not as fast as our growing population, so the use of technology for the innovation of food production is a great help in addressing the issue. EFFICIENCY OF TECHNOLOGY The production of food is not always the same, it also depends on our resources, area, and climate. The natural disasters we experienced also affects the production. Technology has a great impact in...

Toyota

...By having multiple productions plants globally, it is able to create flexibility and backup options should one of their plants fail to deliver when there is natural disasters or uncertainty within the country. During the Thailand floods, its production was greatly affected as its plants were shut down and unable to operate due to the damage caused by the flood. (Thailand was responsible for the production of 891,000 forecasted vehicles, one of the biggest in SEA). Due to the crippling of its plants in Thailand, Toyota has to scale back its productions in the rest of SEA due to issues faced while exporting certain parts from Thailand. The car maker estimates the disruption in the parts supply chain has affected about 100 kinds of parts. The overall output loss caused by the floods amounted to an estimate of 37,500 vehicles. ISSUES FACED: Toyota has to be prepared for unforeseeable circumstances such as natural disasters. As shown, during the Thailand floods in 2011, its production was scaled back by 37,500 vehicles. Backup supplies from its other branches around the world creating the same vehicle parts could be supplied to SEA during this period to alleviate the burden faced by the plants in Thailand. OPINION: Safety is one of Toyota’s key concerns and also selling point. This must be ensured from the various parts that make the car, from the start to the end. It is understandable that Toyota decided to specialize each plant so that they can be focused on what they produce...

Ethical Issues Paper

...Production Healthy options have become increasingly important to fast-food chains, said Bob Sandelman, executive officer of Sandelman & Associates, a San Clemente, Calif.,-based restaurant research and consulting firm. Chick-fil-A is making the difference staying ahead of the competition and meeting consumer preferences for healthy foods. Not only by serving healthy entries, also have implemented new technology to help customers with the needs. Chick-fil-A has reported that the main production is the chicken sandwich, waffle fries and coke. But consumers are moving more toward other options, such as salads and wraps. One of the most recent improvements in the Chick-fil-A company is very popular software known as CORDA Technologies which have been acquired to visualize and interacts with the company productivity (LDMR 2009). The concept of marginal productivity and the law diminishing marginal productivity play a very important role in this case, for example, few years back the prices for Chick-fil-A production were higher than the rest of the fast food restaurants, bringing prices to an affordable level is what is causing to attract more consumers into the market. Corda Technologies will help to visualize and create solutions for the company (Corda Tech 2009). Excellence and improvement is always been a priority for the company.

Organizational Theory

...Introduction This essay will cover the meta-theoretical assumptions that make up the modernist and symbolic interpretive approaches and how the respective theories under these perspectives describe about the relationship between organisations and technology in the environment. Meta-theoretical assumptions Ontology refers to our assumptions and concepts about reality. According to Hatch and Cunliffe (2006), concepts produce mental categories for arranging, categorizing and keeping experience in memory. This mental documentation assists in the studies of an object’s nature of existence, whether or not it is real or illusory. It suggests that although we do not see something perhaps it does not mean that it doesn’t exist. The study of ontology takes 2 conflicting views, subjectivism and objectivism. The ontology of modernism is objectivism. The modernists believe that reality exists independent of our knowledge of it. From the objectivist’s point of view, reality is experienced through our five senses and our knowledge of what’s around us is derived from what we encountered and that the knowledge may be substantiated overtime by scientific methods to enhance its reliability (Hatch and Cunliffe, 2006). However, this is strongly objected by the point of view of the subjectivists. The subjectivists believe that the reality exists only when it is experienced and registered by someone. In addition, the symbolic-interpretivist broadens the perspective of reality to involve collection...

Challenges for High Tech Development

...design of complex systems in India is undermined by inadequate resources for experimentation and testing. This results in overly long development cycles. Design/Development & Production Gap After independence, India adopted the Soviet model of separation of design and development from production. As a result, we have a huge network of government owned and operated research and development laboratories and facilities, and a separate network of production units/factories (like the ordnance factories in the case of defence). The separation between R&D and manufacturing has worked to our disadvantage in multiple sectors. Take the case of telecom, where the Centre for Development of Telematics (CDOT) set up in the 1980s created contemporary digital exchanges that were well suited to the hot and dusty conditions of India and the then prevalent high number of “Busy Hour Calling Attempts.” But as I documented in From Jugaad to Systematic Innovation: The Challenge for India, the separation of the technology provider from the manufacturers (a set of licensees who themselves had limited technological capabilities) meant that CDOT was one step removed from the marketplace and that the licensees never invested in creating their own technological capabilities. As a result, over time, the CDOT technology failed to keep pace with the needs of the market and lost out to products imported from global...

Imax

...1. Introduction Harberber and Rieple (2008) define strategy as a set of intentional or inadvertent set of actions through which an organization develops the required set of resources, efficiently target valuable customers, meet financial targets and competes effectively. These strategic decisions drive the long-term direction of the organization, the scope of its activities, help gain advantage over competitors, and address changes in the business environment. The case of IMAX begins in 1994 when business partners Gelfond and Wechsler decided to purchase the organisation from its original owners and take the company public. IMAX operates in a people oriented business, operating within the entertainment industry. Through the years the owners have made strategic efforts in the direction of reaching new audiences. These efforts, in addition to IMAX’s external environment, will be analysed and explored in the sections that follow. The result of this analysis will be the comparison of the firm’s strategy with the identified industry survival and success factors, in a bid to ascertain the relevant factors that would drive future growth. 2. IMAX’s business environment A number of theorists, notably Michael Porter (1979) have developed several frameworks for understanding and analysing the effect that an organization’s external environment could have on its competitiveness and profitability. These frameworks identify the following as notable forces: Threat of new entrants; Threat...

Effective Decision Making Entity for Production Technology Development

...According to reading the firm situation that it is facing is chosen one type of production technology over the others and under what circumstances is the one type of technology is more effective than the others. However, the company management faces many trials and decisions on a day-to-day basis in the global marketplace in their determinations to keep their company competitive. Companies understand the risk and reward associated with engaging in these types of projects and must understand the impact on their company’s current and future states (Kim, 2005). Companies use metrics to monitor, measure, and manage the different processes within their operating system. They must also determine the project leadership structure with this information in mind and understand the “layering” that exists in the decision-making process for these types of projects (Kim, 2005). There are many influences that can impact technological projects. One of these is the level of management complicated in the development. The decision-makers range from top management, middle management, supervisors, and down to the operators on the shop floor. The participation by all these parties is critical to the success of the project from planning, execution, and integration of the new technologies into the functioning processes for the company.
