In a series of three interactive exercises, learners explore the relationship between process cycle time and defect detection, and between process cyle time and smaller batch sizes. The techniques of lean/JIT are applied to achieve the continuous improvement (kaizen) goal of reducing inventory by pursuing one-piece flow.

In this learning activity you'll practice converting from one metric unit to another.

Learners view an animation showing the one-shot operation of a programmable logic controller.

Every speech starts with an outline. Knowing how to write one can make the difference between speech success and speech failure. In this module, we’ll explore what’s involved in creating an outline, demonstrate how to put one together, and give you examples you can use to create your own outline.

Learners examine graphs and read that the heat of fusion is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of solid as it is converted to liquid, while the heat of vaporization is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of liquid as it is converted to gas.

Material condition modifiers may be applied to tolerances for geometric characteristics of features of size. A feature of size is one that can be measured across two opposing points, either internally or externally.

In this video, you’ll learn how to set up a long piece of tubing using a steady rest, so that you can bore the ends for a bearing.

Learners observe how to cascade PLC counters to extend the maximum count of one counter.

Learners observe that the volume of one mole of any gas is 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure. An illustration shows that only the mass of the molar volume differs with the identity of the gas.

In this learning activity you'll determine the voltages that can be topped off of a multi-resistor voltage divider that has one main power source.

In this interactive and animated object, students distribute the valence electrons in simple covalent molecules with one central atom. Six rules are followed to show the bonding and nonbonding electrons in Lewis dot structures. The process is well illustrated with eight worked examples and two interactive practice problems.

Learners use the Base Minus One Complement method to do octal subtraction.

In this learning activity you'll apply the Law of Sines in the solution on an oblique triangle when provided with two angles and the side opposite one of the angles.

Introduces two methods of determining bend allowance; one is simple and is an approximate, the other is more precise. Interactive part has learner calculate bend allowance and blank size.

In this module, we'll be introducing you to SIPOC, a powerful tool that can help you improve your business processes. It's a high-level process mapping tool that helps you identify the key components of a process and how they relate to each other. SIPOC diagrams are often used in Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, but they can be useful for any process improvement initiative. We’ll explain the key SIPOC components and demonstrate how to build one. Then, we’ll walk through a few scenarios and let you build your own.

Students listen to three telephone messages and enter their evaluation of each one. They then read a list of guidelines for leaving effective messages.

In this learning activity, you'll be introduced to what personas are, explore how to create one, and understand why they're important.

Learners follow steps to trace logic signals from the inputs of several interconnecting logic gates to one output.

Learners examine a 555 integrated circuit, which functions as a one-shot monostable multivibrator, and then test their knowledge. Immediate feedback is provided. Animations are used to show the sequential operations.

Learners answer questions about medication from a game board with the headings "Pituitary," "Thyroid," and "Adrenal." Up to three people can play at one time. Contestants "buzz in" their answers to accumulate points.
