- Indian equity markets were mostly higher, with the Nifty up 2.50 points and Sensex up 9.53 points. European markets also rose.
- FII were net buyers of Indian stocks while DII were net sellers. Banking and fertilizer stocks rose while capital goods shares fell.
- The market reversed losses in late trade as gains in European stocks boosted sentiment. Index heavyweight RIL edged up.The Difference the Community Service Makes on a College Application

The document discusses high school service programs and how the x2VOL online platform can help schools track student community service hours. It notes that most high schools require or recognize community service and that colleges view service positively in admissions. The key benefits of x2VOL are that it allows students to log service hours online or via a mobile app, makes the tracking process more efficient for schools, and provides real-time reporting on student service data. The document promotes x2VOL as a better alternative to paper-based tracking of community service hours.Corporate Lessons

The document provides three corporate lessons through short stories with morals. The lessons are:
1) To be idle you need a high position away from danger, like the crow sitting in a tree away from the fox.
2) Temporary shortcuts like eating dung may get you ahead but won't sustain you, as the turkey who ate dung to reach the top of the tree was then shot down.
3) Be wary of those who help or harm you, as the bird was saved but then eaten by the cat who dug it out of cow dung where it was warming.COM20S.09.02.04

The document defines various payroll terms like gross pay, wage, regular hours, overtime hours. It provides examples to calculate gross pay for employees who work regular hours and overtime hours. It includes two examples calculating gross pay for employees who worked overtime hours and were paid time and a half or double time for overtime hours. The last sentences reference questions 1-4 on page 26 of a Wage and Salary booklet.Designing Products for Cellular Assembly

The document discusses using a Six Sigma design methodology called DMADV to coordinate cellular assembly with product design, reviewing how design impacts assembly and ensuring designs can be built in a cellular format. It provides examples of analyzing design concepts, establishing design requirements, and reviewing the product design through multiple stages to support efficient cellular manufacturing. The goal is to transition a new product seamlessly through the design process and cellular assembly development in parallel.Speed to Market through Program Management

The document discusses how to effectively and efficiently bring products to market. It recommends using a well-developed process that moves projects forward constantly. This typically requires allocating more resources upfront during planning phases than is usually done. The document then outlines a six-phase product design process and provides an example of how following this process allowed a company to bring a new product to market from concept to production in under four months, meeting their deadline.Using Value Stream Mapping As a Strategic Planning & Implementation Tool
Using Value Stream Mapping As a Strategic Planning & Implementation ToolAdvent Design Corporation

Value stream mapping is a lean manufacturing tool used to identify waste and opportunities for improvement. It visually maps the current and future state of processes by following the flow of products and information. Developing a current state map involves collecting data on cycle times, changeover times, staffing levels, and other metrics to understand how the production system currently operates. This data provides the foundation to design an improved future state map and implementation plan.Implementing Automation After Making Lean Improvements

The document discusses implementing lean improvements and automation at a steel panel fabrication facility. It begins with a current state value stream map that shows long lead times of 2-5 days. Lean techniques were then used, including analyzing process flows, reducing setup times, collecting quality data to reduce defects, and improving material flow. This identified opportunities to balance the production line and reduce lead times before considering automation.Integrating Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing the Challenges & Benefits

The document discusses integrating Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing to lower costs and reduce lead time. It provides an overview of Lean, which focuses on eliminating waste to reduce lead time, and Six Sigma, which focuses on reducing process variation. The document recommends integrating both approaches for maximum benefit, as Lean cannot control variation and Six Sigma cannot dramatically improve speed. It then discusses key aspects of each approach including goals, definitions, tools, and implementation challenges when combining the two methodologies.Lean Manufacturing Brings Products Back from China

This document discusses a case study of a company that moved toy part bagging lines from the US to China to reduce costs. While labor rates in China were significantly lower, hidden costs began to emerge over time, such as quality issues, transportation costs, and inability to respond quickly to changes. The company implemented lean manufacturing techniques in their US operations to improve efficiency and reduce costs. A financial model was developed to quantify total costs, allowing some product lines to be moved back from China. The document advocates for continuous improvement and determining the best location based on long-term viability rather than just short-term profit.Applying Lean Concepts in a Warehouse Operation

The current state value stream map of a warehouse operation shows material and information flows from suppliers and production to customers. It identifies issues like excess inventory, inaccurate inventory counts, and lack of space that require the warehouse to expand. Applying lean concepts through value stream mapping can help assess the operation, identify waste and improvements, and develop a future state plan to address challenges.Integrating Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing the Challenges & Benefits

This document discusses integrating Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing to lower costs and reduce lead times. It provides an overview of Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing approaches and how they can be combined. Six Sigma focuses on reducing process variation through statistical analysis while Lean aims to eliminate waste in the value stream. The document outlines some challenges with historical integration attempts and the different system models of Six Sigma and Lean. It also describes key aspects of each approach including goals, definitions, tools, and implementation structures. Combining the two is presented as providing benefits like increased customer satisfaction and profitability by addressing both flow-focused and problem-focused improvements.The Role of Process Development in Automation Presentation

The document discusses process development for automation. It defines process development as determining the sequence of operations and parameters to ensure a manufacturing process produces products within specifications. It notes that automation will change tools, sequences and remove the human element from processes. It advises to identify current manual processes carefully, qualify and test any process changes, and minimize risks when developing automated processes. It provides tips on machine design for process development, including using programmable controllers, sensors and flexible framing.Integrated Vision System & Robot Streamline Production

This document summarizes the integration of a robotic system with vision to automate the assembly of antenna arrays for Lockheed Martin's Aegis Weapon System. Key points include:
1) A robotic transport system was designed to replace a labor intensive manual process for inserting over 4,000 ceramic windows and buttons into an antenna array using adhesive.
2) An end-of-arm vision system was added to provide precise positioning of parts during insertion and eliminate the need to pre-define insertion points.
3) In-line vision was also added to inspect parts and adhesive beads for quality.
4) The automated system integrated the existing array indexing equipment with a robotic cart containing grippers, vision, adhesiveMore Related Content
