... Working with three independent Robotic Companies, we have put together an analysis that shows that the same job could be preformed by three robots in a time cycle of 38 seconds per each tape recorder assembled. This would increase our production of the product by approximately 140 % in the same time frame that we are currently operating. The analysis shows that the operation will take three robots to do the required task in the shortest amount of time. The whole work cell will be designed so that the assembly line will be both continuous and synchronized. I am assured that the floor space now available will be more than adequate and could even be reduced by a ...

... not profitable enough to expand their business. Henry Ford changed that when he introduced the assembly line. This both increased production speed and decreased cost. This idea of mass production revolutionized the automobile industry. Soon all of the top auto producers would have a assembly line of their own. The lower costs and faster delivery meant a lower price, and the average family could afford and get one. Ford's Model T soon became the most popular car of the time (Chandler 15).

Most capital investments were goi ...

... Canada has relied upon trade with foreign countries to generate employment and increase the wealth of its economy. Many other countries rely upon the products with which Canada supplies to them through trade. China, a communist country, with the largest population in the world, relies heavily on Canadian food products to feed its enormous population. If Canada were to suddenly sever trade with China, not only would Canada lose a large portion of revenue generated from that trade, but also many Chinese people would starve, as China does not have the means to produce enough food for its peoples. Advocates for trade with all countries, regardless of a country's ...
