the manufacturing phase. However, it can also be used as a trouble-shooting methodology to sort out pressing manufacturing problems. Here are some of the major contributions that Taguchi has made to the quality improvement world: 1. The Loss Function - Taguchi devised an equation to quantify the decline of a customer's perceived value of a product as its quality declines. Essentially, it tells managers how much revenue they are losing because of variability in their production process. It is

OBLONG, OBLONG WHERE DO WE BELONG? (Oblong Numbers) I. Introduction Math investigations engage one’s mind to formulate conjectures from observed numerical phenomenon. Patterns are being observed and these patterns are then translated into mathematical expressions such as the equation. Thus this investigation would lead to mathematical models that need to be proven. However, the formulation of a mathematical model is not an easy task. It requires skills and experience to device

divisional structure described in action one, a matrix structure can benefit from the functional divisions formed in the divisional structure but also supplement these divisions with divisions based on products as well. Employees are grouped by both function and product in a matrix and frequently teams of employees will be assigned to a project to accomplish a specific goal. This type of structure can take advantage of the best parts of divisional and team based structures. If Appex were to consider

Absolute Function Absolute value function is an Algebraic method used commonly in college maths. Absolute value function is a function with variable within an absolute value symbol. Also when represented on a graph the lines make right angles at the point (0, 0). It is written as f(x) =abs(x) and is an even function. It exists in the domain of real numbers and is in the range of non-negative real numbers. A real life example of absolute of absolute function is a football field. Even through the

mass attached on the end of an elastic film. As an input the system response has the movement of the electrode end, and as the output it has the flexure of the firm which causes a voltage displacement used for analysis. This 2nd order high pass function is calculated and analyzed in this experiment by taking into account the mass, spring constant of the film and the friction due to air and plastic viscosity in the firm. For this reason the weight added to the transducer during the procedure was

This is the point when organising becomes necessary. As more people are appointed, there has to be further division and sub-division of work among them. When an organisation becomes large, separate departments are created to perform different functions. Each department has to be divided into a number of smaller units. Ultimately, the work of the organisation is divided into a number of positions of employees and managers. Relationships are then established among the different positions in the organisation
