    An existing compressor will supply only 60% of the predicted future compressed air requirements of the plant. Its net realizable value is $2,000 with operating disbursementsof $5,000 a year at that load. A new compressor that will just furnish the required 40% additional air can be purchased for $9,000. Its operating disbursements are $3,100 a year.
     
    A full sized machine can be purchased for $15,000 with operating disbursements of $7,600.
     
    The economic life of all three machines is estimated to be 10 years with salvage values equal to 10% of the present values.
     
    Compare the machines and determine the best option for the company.
     
    Assume any data you need.

    Industrial Engineering Day - 7 July - Birth Day of Frank Gilbreth

    Knowledge  Day  of Industrial  Engineering


    Knowledge  Day  of Industrial  Engineering is expected to bring students, faculty and professionals of industrial engineering together to discuss the knowledge of the profession in offline and online platforms.  platform.

    Birth Day of Frank Gilbreth 7th July is being celebrated as the Knowledge Day of Industrial Engineering.  Birthday of F.W. Taylor (DOB: 20th March 1865) is also  Knowledge Day of Industrial Engineering   .

    Frank Gilbreth's birth day was 7th July 1868 ( http://answers.encyclopedia.com/question/frank-b-gilbreth-born-163426.html    )

    Industrial Engineering - Introduction


    Industrial engineering is explained as human effort engineering and system efficiency engineering by Narayana Rao.

    The activities carried out in system efficiency engineering can be categorized as:

    Methods efficiency engineering
    Product design efficiency engineering
    Inspection methods efficiency engineering
    Materials handling efficiency engineering
    Warehouse efficiency engineering

    The emphasis on the term "efficiency" is very important. This term separates managers from industrial engineers and also functional engineers from industrial engineers. But industrial engineers improve efficiency of all systems, systems in factories, offices as well as management systems. Resource use efficiency in any system is the focus of industrial engineering discipline.

    There are many knols (articles are called knols) on industrial engineering. Two of the collections are

    1. Introduction to Industrial Engineering - Course at NITIE
    2. Industrial Engineering - Knols of Narayana Rao K V S S

    Happy Birthday Frank Gilbreth; Reducing Waste in Hospitals… Green is Lean

    http://www.leanblog.org/2010/07/happy-birthday-frank-gilbreth-reducing-waste-in-hospitals-green-is-lean/#comment-11389
    Today, July 7 is the birthday of Frank Gilbreth, born this day in 1868. While some of his methods arguably ranked low on the “respect for people” scale (calling doctors “boobs” for doing things wastefully), he was an innovator in terms of identifying waste and driving process improvement in healthcare.

    Curriculum Proposals and Suggestions for Modifications

    The Engineering Science of Industrial Engineering: A Viewpoint of the Industrial Engineering Curriculum 
    Author: William E. Bilesa
    Affiliation:    a Department of Industrial Engineering Edward R. Clark Professor of Computer-Aided Engineering, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky
    IIE Transactions, Volume 23, Issue 3 September 1991 , pages 208 - 214
    Abstract
    This paper outlines the scientific underpinnings of Industrial Engineering and proposes an approach to educating the Industrial Engineer based on this engineering science. The proposed definition of the “Industrial Engineering science” rests on the premise that IE is made up of three main functional areas: (1) production engineering, (2) operational science, and (3) ergonomics/human factors engineering. This paper outlines the various IE activities that fall into these three functional categories, and attempts to show the relationships of those areas to six underlying science bases; namely, (1) Industrial Engineering sciences, (2) general engineering sciences, (3) life sciences, (4) physical sciences, (5) behavioral and social sciences, and (6) mathematics.
