Weekly Shutdown Reflection

After the analysis on the first design brought to light the zero for members, it was decided that these members should be removed. In order to combat the flex of such a simple design the decision was made to double the thickness. This design would have the same outer frame of two triangles with a height of 20 centimeters and a width of 40 centimeters. Instead of being spaced five centimeters apart the wood be bonded directly together using Gorilla Glue. Balsa wood, a very lightweight wood with properties similar to a dense foam, was used for the main supporting member. Basswood, a lightweight yet firm wood, was used for the horizontal member. The final design added a triple layer sheet of balsa wood to rear side of the truss. This balsa sheet was added for the purpose of mounting and supporting the main structure. Additionally, a five centimeter square frame of bass wood was added at the end of the boomilever to place the loading block for testing. Once this design was implemented two key issues were discovered. First, due to the properties of the bass wood and balsa wood it was obvious that the placement needed to be reversed. The bass wood should be used for the hypotenuse and the balsa wood should be used for the

D1. Occasionally I act as a duty engineer for work carried outside of production hours. I chair the weekend work meetings allowing me to understand requirements for additional support. A printed work package detailing the jobs is given to each member of the meeting, information and recommendations are exchanged verbally. Post-meeting tasks involve co-ordination activities via face to face and telephone communication. At the end of the shift it is necessary to have a final review with the maintenance department to sign off completed work on facilities, giving us the opportunity to resolve any technical matters and agree any follow up items. I record these meetings using 'minutes', the process allows us to plan the next steps and assignment of

“This,” Terrill announced, “is the reason for the lack of productivity in the Sales Engineering division. These are the reports your people require every month. The fact that they sat on my desk all month shows that no one reads this material. I suggest that the engineers’ time could be used in a more productive manner, and that one brief monthly report from my office will satisfy the needs of the other departments.”

I attended the whole project meeting with our clients where we discussed the progress yesterday.

One of my first assignments was to proofread Travel Board notification letters that were individually typed to be sent out to all Regional Office's, to inform them of upcoming Travel Boards. Due to manual error they would have numerous typos and would require hours to re-type. I immediately approached the Hearing Branch Chief and requested to make a master Travel Board notification letter that I would use with an Excel spreadsheet to extract all the Regional Office's data when needed. The end result was the ability to send out mass Travel Board letters with no typos and cut the employee working hours dramatically. With my two examples of streamlining, I have enjoyed the opportunity to make process improvements within the Hearing Branch, and welcome the opportunity to learn more about global Board operations from participation in the Shadow Program, which will enable me better understand end to end processes and additional areas to streamline operations at the

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on this date. I arrived at the operation which is located at 4826 University Park, Texarkana about 3:02 pm. I was greeted by Angela Davidson the the assistant director. The purpose of the inspection and the subchapters that would be evaluated were explained to Angela. Jennifer Treadway the director arrived at the center approximately 10 minutes later.

It is alarming to know that each year there are over 4,500 scaffold injuries and 65 deaths (Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA], 2016). In addition, there is a high risk for construction workers to be struck from objects falling off scaffolds. With these facts in mind, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission’s (OSHRC) 2013 case of the Secretary of Labor v Performance Contracting, Inc. (PCI) raises questions as to why violations of OSHA’s scaffold standards are sometimes considered “other-than serious.” Understanding that OSHA gives the Secretary of Labor the tasks of rulemaking and enforcement of its rules, it also gives the task of carrying out the legal process to the commission which both parties accepted, as well as PCI “engaging as a business affecting interstate commerce” (Secretary of Labor v. PCI, 2013, pp. 2-3). Knowledge of the case’s background, parties involved, arguments presented, cases used to reach a verdict, and final ruling provide insight to the penalties assessed, significance, and personal opinion.

On Monday 02/29/16 in our daily morning meetings with the warehouse personnel. I issued a severe verbal warning to Mr. Byron Willians due to a negative pattern on his punctuality and attendance (five times late during the month of february). After a short argument with Mr. Byron, we had a short meeting with the president and CEO Mr. Charles Aleshire where a few important topics were mentioned by Mr. Charles Aleshire.

Superstructure bears the load that is being passed over the bridge and it transmits the forces caused by the same to substructure. Load received from the decking is transferred on to the substructure by Bearings. They also distribute the load evenly over the substructure material as it may not have sufficient strength to bear the superstructure load directly. Piers and Abutments are the vertical substructures which transfer the load to the earth in the foundation. Wing walls and returns are constructed as the extension of
