Engineering Requirements and Available Engineering Capacity What Explains the Relationship Between Engineering Requirements and Available Engineering. 1. WHAT EXPLAINS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS AND AVAILABLE ENGINEERING CAPACITY AT PREQUIP? WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE PATTERNS IN THE EXHIBIT? The patterns between the Engineering Requirement and the Available Engineering Capacity are such that long-term projects such as Project 4 which requires 286 Engineering Months are being stretched throughout several years instead of completing it and allocating the resources elsewhere. Due to the limited time available, time should be spent completing as much as Project 4 as possible instead of delaying until the second year and finalising it in another. If the Project was completed in two years then the resources would be available for other projects in the third. Along with reducing the number of Projects that are active at any one time, the company would be in a better position to deal with the Projects that need completing. The implications of the patterns indicate the large problem of over committing. The company has too few resources to cope with the large 'active' list. These implications ensure that PreQuip are always assigning inaccurate levels of resources to projects which over time will prevent them from completing any project. Loss of business may follow and the company would eventually collapse do their incompetence to effective project planning. 2. WHAT IS A PLATFORM PROJECT? HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM A BREAKTHROUGH PROJECT? WHAT SPECIFIC CRITERIA WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT COMPANIES ESTABLISH TO DEFINE PLATFORM AND BREAKTHROUGH PROJECTS? A platform project is a project set up to provide the company with a platform from which new products and processes can be developed. This proposed development is designed to benefit the company over a set period of time with the aim to release new profitable products. Platform projects, if designed correctly, can provide numerous add-ons and enhancements to this new products extending the product life cycle further by potentially being able to reach into new and untapped markets, thus extending the profitability further too. An example of this would be the development of 'The Sims' computer game. The game and the idea behind the game has evolved and has enabled the developers to turn a non-profitable game using obsolete technology into the most sold computer game to date. The development of the artificial intelligence required to bring realism, creativity and graphic design has been included into more and more versions eventually leading to the introduction of 'The Sims' games where you control all aspects of the character's lives. New developments have been introduced to meet the artificial lives that are being controlled

The five senses include sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. Sight is the power of seeing objects and people. To see we use our eyes, our eye is a sphere with a diameter of about 2.5 cm or 1 inch. Our eyes include the eyebrows, eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, and extrinsic eye muscles. The eyelids are thin, skin covered folds supported by the connective tissue sheets called tarsal plates and are separated by the palpebral fissure and meet at medial and lateral angles of the eye. The eyelid muscle cause blinking every 3-7 seconds and when the objects get in your eye, the flexibility is activated to protect the eye. The eyelashes also protect the eye. Anything that touches the eyelashes is blown away because it will cause your eye to blink. The conjunctiva in our eyes is a mucous membrane; it helps to line the eyelids. The function of the conjunctiva is to produce a lubricating mucus that prevents the eyes from drying out. A conjunctival sac is where contact lens lies and occurs when the eyes are closed and a slit like space occurs. An inflammation of the conjunctiva is called conjunctivitis and happens when the eye get red and really irritated. The lacrimal apparatus in our eyes drains the lacrimal secretions into the nasal cavity. The lacrimal fluid in the eye cleans and protects eye as it moistens. The fluid contains mucous, antibodies, and lysosome. The extrinsic eye muscles originate and insert into outer surface of the eyeball. The extrinsic eye muscles allow the eye to follow a moving object and provide wires to maintain shape of eyeball and hold it in orbit. When movements of these muscles are not the same, a person cannot focus on images correctly and see two images instead. The eye is called an eyeball and ha... ...cines. They may also help you cope with it by teaching you how to cooperate with noise around you. When doctors check your ears that may find OME, it’s thin and watery. If fluid is still present after six weeks the treatment may include having more observations and having to take tests. For us to tell what foods and scents delight us, we use our sense of smell. Your sense of smell helps us to determine what we like to have to eat and wear on different types of occasions. Your sense of smell can also be used for other things like smelling nature around you and smelling the different kind of foods there are around the world. Smell has a chemoreceptor that respond to chemicals in an aqueous solution. Smell receptors are excited by the airborne chemicals that dissolve in fluids coating nasal membranes. The organ of smell is a yellow patch of pseudostratified epithelium.
