Table 6 provides a summary of the deployability testing results: Table 6: Deployment Time Stages Preparation Time Installation Time Total Preparation Time Deployment Time Pop-up Tent 6 hours 15 minutes 6 hours 15 minutes 12 hours 30 minutes 10 minutes Triple Threat NA 3 hours 15 minutes 3 hours 15 minutes 1 hour 30 minutes Hail Garage NA 2 months 2 months 10 minutes Portable Tarp Tent NA 7 hours 15 minutes 7 hours 15 minutes 4 hours 30 minutes Below are the steps and assumptions made in calculating the installation and deployment time of each mock-up. Pop-up Tent Preparation: The pop-up tents will be stored in the trunks of vehicle during hail season. This is an easy storage solution and can be done over a long period of time.

The estimated time to install one Hail Garage is 2 hours, and for 500 cars there would be 167 Hail garages installed. Assuming the construction crew working an 8 hour work day with weekends off, it would take approximately two months for the Hail Garage to be installed on a 500 car lot. Deployment: The Hail Garage is controlled by a motor that can be activated using a remote control. If 4 employees had to walk around the dealership and hit the remote for each garage, it would take an estimated 10 minutes to bring down the covers on the hail garage during inclement weather. Portable Tarp Tent Installation: The Portable Tarp Tent is rolled out from the dealership and placed behind two cars. This would take 7 hours and 15 minutes for 4 employees to place the device behind 500 cars. Deployment: The Portable Tarp Tent is wheeled out and cinched down to cover 4 cars. This would take 1 minute per device. With 4 employees covering 500 vehicles, this would take 4 hours and 30 minutes to deploy.

This limited the testing in that it only tested one very simple and very idealistic car lot arrangements. The assumptions made were for what the team thought the ‘average’ lot of 500 cars would be, but many factors could change that would in turn change the time it would take to install and deploy each device, such as: the speed of the workers, arrangement of the lot, size of the lot, number of workers working, size of the car, and distance between the cars. Another assumption made that provides a limitation is the time it would take for each device to deploy and how long it would take to install/deploy each device. The times given for installation and deployment time were estimations based on the size, mechanics and method of each device. This timing could change for the final prototype, and thus the timing is a very general estimation of how long each mock-up would take to deploy. Conclusions Although the deployment testing is an estimation of time, the timing of each devices’ installation and deployment time are very distinct from each other, helping us determine the strengths and weakness of each device in installation and deployment
The projections were done for the years 2014-2018 (5 years). This timetable is the one softly set by the possible new ownership group to build and resell the business. Also, after five years it was felt that the accuracy of the projections could come into question.
Nonetheless, establishing timing standards for the project, pertaining to an estimated date of completion, along with a schedule for conducting tests, is critical, according to information provided by the SANS Institute (source). For example, projects that exceed the estimated date of completion may become costly, and running tests during peak and/or critical hours may result in several technological inefficiencies for Alexander Rocco Corporation. Likewise, establishing future meetings or other form of communications for updates throughout the course of the project is also
Our project required our car to go at least 3 meters. Our initial trials were successful because our car went 7,8, and then 9 meters. The car went 7 meters in 8 seconds with a speed of 0.875 m/s. It went 8 meters in 10 seconds with a speed of 0.8 m/s. It finally went 9 meters in 12
A pit crew consists of two tire-carriers (front and rear), two tire-changers (front and rear), a jackman and a gasman. The rear tire changer Removes and replaces the right rear tire, using an air-powered impact wrench on the five lug nuts. He then moves to the opposite side of the car to change the left rear tire. The rear tire changer assists the rear tire changer by handing him a new tire that he's carried from behind the pit wall. He may also adjust the rear shock/jack bolt to adjust a car's handling then move to the other side to carry the other rear tire. The front tire changer and tire carrier does the same thing as the rear just on the front of the car. The jack man operates a 20-pound hydraulic jack that raises the car for tire changes. After new tires are first bolted to the right side of the car, the jackman drops the car to the ground and repeats the process on the left side. The gas man empties two 12-gallon dump cans, which weigh 81 pounds each, into the car's fuel cell. The Pit crew does all of this in under 13 seconds which is about the time it takes for one NFL play or how long it takes for you to walk to the fridge to get another beer. In an autopsy of the pit stop done by Sport Science they broke down the pit stop: The jack man gets to the car and has to precisely center the jack under a ¾ inch bolt raising the car before the tire changer removes all five lug nuts in about one second then tightening the new lug nuts in about the same speed. The entire crew explodes to the other side of the car to do the same to the driver’s side of the car. The gas man empties all 12 gallons of fuel in about five seconds. Just to put into comparison if you have ever changed a tire on the side of the road or even had the luxury of working in a shop it takes much longer to change one tire than these crews take to change all the tires and fuel up

The Two Methods of Camping and Which Is Better There are two ways that families or individuals camp. One way is permanent camping, and the other is transient camping. Permanent camping is exactly as it sounds. A camper is placed on a purchased or borrowed lot at a campground and is left there year-round. Transient camping is when one takes a camper with them to a campground and then takes the camper back home after he or she is done. Not all campgrounds have the option of going permanent; in fact most campgrounds only allow transient camping. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but which is the best? Well, that's just a matter of opinion. Transient Camping Let's start with transient camping. Transient camping is extremely common

Projects developed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) go through a planning process that includes the determination of the project’s schedule. To determine the schedule, highway construction projects are divided into several activities and the time management of these activities will define the project’s duration. In order to improve the productivity and facilitate the execution of the project, an effective planning is needed. An organized Work Breakdown Structure can enhance the project duration. However, there are certain unexpected and unavoidable factors, which can delay the project’s termination: (1) Conflicting Weather Conditions (2) Temperature, (3) Project’s location, and (4) Workers’ shifts.
The above problems were the sole problems identified during the critique process. The average time that was spent in every aspect of the site was one day and a repetition of the process would follow similar steps and therefore no major differences in results.

With Taylor’s scientific approach decisions are based on science or exact measurements. Estimations made according to convenience are inaccurate and inefficient. Each job is broken down into smaller functions, intern analyzed and timed to the tenth of a second. Through the use of scientific method the best possible way to perform a function is established and put into practice until a time comes when a better method or tool is devised.
We can estimate the completion time of the project using this method and can reduce the factor of uncertainty by considering both the shortest and longest time calculation for the critical path.
