The Production Techniques of Whitby Morrison Ltd
On Tuesday 13th August 2002, I visited Whitby Morrison Ltd. This firm
specialise in manufacturing ice cream vans that are specific to the
customer's demands. This firm is a sole trader and a private company.
This small family company based in Crewe have been around for 50 years
and they also export their vans to customers outside the U.K.
The visit consisted of a guide around the site, observing the many
stages that an ice cream van goes through. They only have two
warehouses, where they produce the vans, this houses up to 40
employees divided into many departments. The first place I was taken
to was the main warehouse, where most of the production occurs. The
work that is done is creating the body of the van, cutting metal for
the vans, engineering of the actual ice cream machines, and
installation of the ice cream machines.
The second warehouse is new to the company; they only have a few vans
in this section. Most of the work that is done is cleaning up the body
or shell of the van. Mostly sanding and taking off edges that aren't
required.
During the production there are many machines used, these machines are
hand tools and cutting devices. They obviously use different machines
compared to a car factory, because each van is made individually. They
types of equipment that they use are hand tools, industrial saws,
normal carpentry tools, and spraying equipment. All of the work is
labour intensive, this means that most of the work is done by the
employees. Without the workers nothing can be made, resulting in no
money coming into the company. As you can see the type of production
that Whitby Morrison use is job production. This type of production
produces vans depending on the customer's specification and normally
takes a week to produce 3 vans.
Other production techniques include benchmarking. This enables them to
copy over companies that produce vans and make their vans better than
their rivals.
The Sherwin Williams Company is an American Fortune 500 company who business dealings involve the manufacture, distribution, and sale of coatings to professional, industrial, and commercial and retail customers around the world. The company was founded in 1866 by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams with the buying of a stake in the company called Truman Dunham & Co which sold different painter’s pigments, linseed oil, colors, brushes and other assortment of paint products. With its headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio their services are worldwide in which the company operates through four segments: Paint Stores, Group, Consumer Group, Latin America Coatings Group, and Global Finishes Group. The Paint Stores operation was the first segment of the company to be established, in 1866.

While they are devoted to the consumer they are also continuously trying to further progress their bra...
A Comparison of the Laboratory and Industrial Processes When going through the process of fermentation in a laboratory they use certain methods to achieve their goals and some of the methods that they use are completely different from the ones that are used in the industry of fermentation. A fermenter is a container that maintains optimum conditions needed to grow a particular organism I will be using different criteria’s to compare the laboratory and industrial process of fermentation in this assignment; some of them are listed below: * Equipment Used * The Quantity of the Product * Method Used * Quality of the Product Before I get right on into the assignment I will firstly talk about penicillin is and what it is used for today in our society because penicillin will come up. Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929 and penicillin is one of the earliest discovered and widely used antibiotic agents, derived from the penecillium mold and the use of penecillium did not begin until the 1940s. Penicillin kills bacteria by interfering with the ability to synthesis the cell wall and this will disallow it from splitting and reproducing and it will only lengthen longer Below are is a table that shows the most obvious differences in fermentation in a laboratory and fermentation in the scientific industry: Laboratory Fermentation: Industry Fermentation: It is a batch culture They use a Ph sensor The Ph level is not being controlled The equipment used is more expensive The temperature is not being measured They use a thermometer The yeast population isn’t been given O² They equip the fermenter with an exit gas and an exit liquid flow The food supply is not being replenished They also equip it with a antifoam and gas flow It also has a dissolved O² sensor Equipped with an Sparser In industry they have a fresh media feed

The Foundry, defined by Joel Garreau in his book called The Nine Nations of North America, is an area compiled of cities in the Northeast Corridor such as New York City and Philadelphia to the cities near The Great Lakes. The Foundry is located in the Northeastern section of the Continental U.S. With cities such as NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, and others, The Foundry is by far the most populous area in the United States. The common characteristic that ties most of the cities in The Foundry to each other is industrialization, thus the Northeast also being dubbed the “Rust Belt” (Rust Belt). Even though it is the Industrial heart of the U.S., The Foundry is not limited to coal and manufacturing, but stretches out to agriculture as well. That being said, to truly get an understanding about The Foundry, one would have to go back to the Age of Industrialization to appreciate the string that ties these cities together. But even with such a big part of history tying The Foundry together, every city and area in it, whether small or big, has its own unique taste and culture that differentiates one from the other. From their physical geographies to their cultures, each make up what the United States is, a land of diversity. From Detroit, Michigan’s Motown Blues and Chicago’s Great Lakes to New York City’s Broadway, Ivy League schools, and Niagara Falls, The Foundry is made up of a variety of people, land, and cultures.
There were three completely stocked human anatomy labs holding a total of six classes every week during the 1992 winter quarter. Spread thoughout each lab room were six different stations displaying six different viewpoints of that day’s featured body system. Also located in these lab rooms, but off limits to us, was “the room behind the closed door.” Every so often, when the door was carelessly left ajar, we did manage to grab a peek of the secret room beyond. Filling every cubic inch (50 ft deep, 20 ft wide & 20 ft high) of the room lying beyond the door were steel gurneys stacked upon one another; upon each layer were sealed plastic bags containing cotton cocoons of corpses wa...
Since TTUHSC provides students with access to a cadaver lab, I will be able to explore the human anatomy in detail and master the physiological concepts of the human body. The MOT program will also require me to gain hands-on experience in fieldwork at a variety of different settings which will strengthen my care and compassion towards patients. Consequently, it is my goal to digest as much information as possible through textbook readings, hands-on learning, and conducting

A production department is the piece of the organization that produces goods and services that are in turn sold to the outside market for consumption. Service departments back up the production department by providing services to the production department. For example, in an organization that manufactures custom furniture, the production department might be responsible for cutting and assembling raw materials thus creating pieces of furniture. The service department would include maintenance professionals who repair and equipment used in the manufacturing process as well as office staff, human resources and other support departments within the organization.
Patient’s personal hygiene is a vital part of the nurse’s role. Young (1991) described cleanliness as a basic human right, not a luxury the need for the patient to physically cleansing and which would include skin, hair and nails.
Throughout history, rubber has been one of the most used raw materials in the world. It has had a significant role in global and economic trade. Countries such as India and Sri Lanka have been greatly influenced by the production of rubber in the eighteenth and ninetieth century. In general, the production of rubber benefited the world significantly, especially Great Britain as it allowed them to make a profit and to obtain a sufficient amount of wealth. This was accomplished through the means of trade and exploiting indentured servants to work in these rubber plantations. In order to exemplify the importance of rubber, this article will investigate the history of rubber, the importance that rubber has had in world history, address the negative consequences that rubber production had on societies such as Sri Lanka and India, and finally, this paper will discuss the continued impacts that rubber production has on the present global economy.
Steelmaking is a process in which raw materials such as iron and ferrous scrap are used to form steel. This process improves the quality of steel, giving it specific characteristics to suit the needs of diverse industries. Due to the availability, strength, and relatively inexpensive production cost, steel has become one of our world’s most valuable resources. The production of steel directly effects our lives nearly every day. Transportation on our railways, erecting buildings, manufacturing appliances and tools, canned food, and computers are just a few applications of steel in modern life.
Different administrators choose different methods of waste disposal which can depend on the size of the hospital and the available systems of waste disposal in the area. Whichever way of waste disposal that a hospital administrator chooses, He/she should consider the environment implications of the same. Neriz Alicia & Ramis (2014) ascertain that: Biomedical waste is capable of inflicting injuries to both the healthcare worker and the patient or anyone around
