The assembly line is budgeted to produce six work boots in a 40 hour week. This is equivalent to 480 minutes of production time in one eight hour day. The line can make 48 boots in an eight hour shift. This leaves a cycle time per boot of 10 minutes. In order to figure how many workstations are appropriate for the cycle time of 10 minutes, I calculated the total task time of the boots by the cycle time. The total task time is 46 minutes, divided by the cycle time of 10 minutes; leaves minimum necessary workstations of 4.6 or 5. This gives the production line the most efficiency. The assembly line was previously working with 8 stations with the longest cycle time of 10 minutes. There were several stations that had over 5 minutes of idle time. Idle time increases waste through not using employee’s time efficiently. By combining several of the work stations less idle time was created making the process more efficient. The fewer work stations also decreases the amount of time used to move items from station to station which is additional wasted time in production. When figuring the efficiency rate of the assembly line I multiplied the number of stations by the longest cycle time, and then divided that by the overall task time to make a pair of boots. The original process of the assembly line was operating at 58% efficiency. When I recalculated this using the 5 stations with a cycle time of 10 minutes, the efficiency rate was 92%. This is a significant increase. It would be recommended that the employees cross train in performing the tasks to help keep the process moving…

Chapter 1: Geology is the science that studies the history of Earth and its life. Anthropogenic (human generated) activities such as fossil fuel combustion impacting Earth has led to the study of Earth as a series of systems (series of components that interact to produce a larger, more complex whole). Geology is the science that examines the evolution of the natural processes on Earth, the evolution of life and the evolution of these interactions and how they caused the earth to evolve towards its present state. The solid Earth system consists of the nonliving solid Earth from its center to its surface, including continents and seafloor. The atmosphere comprises the gaseous envelope surrounding Earth. The hydrosphere consists of oceans, rivers and streams, lakes and ice in glaciers and ice caps (the latter is sometimes termed the cryosphere). The biosphere consists of all living organisms and their dead remains. Some compartments (smaller parts of a system) may serve as reservoirs in which certain types of matter may be stored for some length of time. Most natural systems are open systems, meaning that they exchange matter and energy with the surrounding environment. This is termed a flux (flow of matter and energy through systems and their exchange of matter and energy with other systems and the surrounding environment); an example is the operation of Earth’s convection cells, both in Earth’s interior and in the atmosphere. Earth’s systems interact through feedback. Positive feedback promotes an effect whereas negative feedback counters an effect. The Principle of Uniformitarianism states that processes we observe today have always operated; it underlies all scientific inquiry. Blowing (wind: atmosphere) dust (lithosphere) plays a major role in Earth’s climate and biological systems, participating in cloud and raindrop (hydrosphere) formation, absorbing and reflecting solar energy and fertilizing land and ocean (HY) ecosystems with iron and other land based…

The sum of the task times is 583 seconds. To figure this out, I used the efficiently calculation of only including tasks performed at the work stations using labor and omitted the 310 seconds of software download. Efficiency = work content/(actual number of workstations X cycle time) = 583/6(120) = 80.97%…
