Looking at the shape of a part, estimated quantity required, etc. an experienced manufacturing engineer can give you a very good guess as for how it was made. One of my industrial engineering professors encouraged us to bring any parts we

They can be, but often aren't. I basically make spreadsheets for a living, and actively try to do a good job of documenting how it works. Among other things that can help: Adding comments in VBA. Why nobody does this is beyond me, but

I agree with the sentiment about slow adoption, but in this case, it might not make sense to switch. If it's decently popular and is fully booked, going cash only would reduce their costs and either give them healthier profits or let t

I'm early into doing this same process right now for a somewhat larger facility. Capacity planning, product tracking, estimating lead times, etc. will make a huge difference in how the facility is run. I'm an industrial engineer w

How would an E-ink display work for a calculator? I haven't used them for more than about 20 minutes in my life, but as long as there isn't a lot of lag while typing, it seems line it'd be a good choice. Much of the time a ca

We use this model in the manufacturing plant I work in. You can cut a small corner every single day and it probably won't matter, until that one time when some other upset condition occurs and suddenly you're seriously injured. A

I find gallons to be an unintuitive unit of measure, so I like to convert to cubic feet because it gives a better visual sense of the volume. 7M gallons is 935,800 ft^3. This would fill a football field 19.5 feet high. If you made that into

I wonder how accurately it would work on a 4' x 8' piece. If I cut some curvy shape near the edge of the piece and followed the dashed line perfectly, would I end up exactly back where I started or would I miss by half an inch?
