Recall the scenario from our homework assignments about Julia (manager) and Lucy (warehouse operator), who were working on a team to upgrade the inventory management system.  The scenario is pasted below if you need a reminder of its contents. What would you recommend to Julia?  Be specific, and justify your recommendations.   This is your time to show me what you know!         Julia is an engineering manager at Bulldog Manufacturing, Inc.  She is in charge of a team that has been tasked with modernizing the company’s inventory management system.      Her team for this project consists of herself, a production engineer, a procurement supervisor, an IT specialist, and a warehouse operator.  The team has been meeting for a few weeks, and has developed a number of exciting ideas for the new inventory management system.      However, the warehouse operator on the team, Lucy, does not support these ideas.  Lucy often makes statements such as “that will never work” and “this is a waste of time and money.”  Lucy does not offer her own ideas or solutions in team meetings.      Julia feels that hearing from the warehouse team is necessary to ensure that the new solution is well accepted, but she is not getting anywhere with Lucy.

Both walnut and Gingko trees lose their leaves in the fall when day length starts decreasing. Based on these observations one may conclude that many tree species will lose their leaves in the fall in response to decreasing day length. This statement is an example of:

A wood member is loaded as shown. Using ASD, determine the maximum bending stress in the member. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads act in the directions shown. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 4,500 lbPL = 0 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 0 lbPR = 0 lbPW = 5,000 lbPE = 7,500 lbQD = 2,500 lbQL = 0 lbQLr = 1,000 lbQS = 1,000 lbQR = 3,000 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 12 ft Member size:4 x 6 Stress grade and species:Select Structural Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = L/2 = 6 ft Moisture content:MC < 19 percent

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of rafters in a roof is 16-in. o.c. Roof dead load = 15 psf. Snow load = 47 psf. Roof sheathing is to be an APA rated plywood sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by deflection limits of L/240 for snow load and L/180 for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 32/16 be adequate?

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 30-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 12 psf. Floor live load = 64 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by bending and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 40/20 be adequate?
