overhead is the category used to encompaa all of the other costs. We find it useful to distinguish between two types of overhead: support cost and other indirect allocations.Support costs are the costs associated with materials handling, quality assurance, purchasing, shipping, receiving, facilities and equipment/tooling maintanence.

Flexible Assembly System (FAS)
A flexible assembly system(FAS) is a fully integrated production system consisting of computer numerically controlled assembly stations, connected by an automated material handling system, all under the control of a central computer
(Tadeusz Sawik, Production planning and scheduling in flexible assembly systems, page1)High- Cycle Fatigue
High- Cycle Fatigue involves a large number of cycles and an elastically applied stress.
High- Cycle Fatigue tests are usually carried out for 10^7 cycles and sometimes 5x10^8 cycles
for nonferrous metals. Although the applied stress is low enough to be elastic, plastic deformation
can take palce at the crack tip. High- Cycle Fatigue data are usually presented as a plot of stress, S,
versus the number of cycles to failure.

Rapid Freeze Prototyping(RFP)
The rapid freeze prototyping (RFP) technique is developed to produce customized 3-d structures directly from CAD models, with intricate control of microstructure and the overall form of the scaffold. The low operating temperatures will allow the processing of temperature- sensitive polymers and bioactive components. The RFP technique makes use of temperature gradients to achieve pre- determined pore size and orientation in 3-D structure.(Paulo Jorge Bártolo, Virtual and Rapid Manufacturing: Advanced Research in Virtual and Rapid Prototyping, page 98)
DEAR ALİ,
ReplyDeletePLEASE EXPLAIN "OTHER INDIRECT ALLOCATIONS" CONCERNING OVERHEAD COSTS.
YOU HAVE ONLY ONE DAY TO CORRECT IT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET HALF POINT.
@Flexible Assembly System (FAS)
ReplyDeleteI SEARCH YOUR REFERENCE ON THE WEBSITES. PERHAPS, YOU CAN ADD THE APPLICATION AREA OF FAS, YOUR DEFINITION WILL BE BETTER WITH IT.
Indirect allocation are the cost of manufacturing that cannot be directly linked to a particular product but which must be paid for to be in business. For example, the salary of the security guard and the cost of maintenance to the building and grounds are indirect costs because these activities are shared among several different products and are difficult to allocate directly to a specific product.
