Product layout. In manufacturing engineering, a product layout refers to a production system where the work stations and equipment are located along the line of production, as with assembly lines.

Usually, work units are moved along  line (not necessarily a geometric line, but a set of interconnected work stations) by a conveyor. Work is done in small amounts at each of the work stations on the line. To use the product layout, the total work to be performed must be dividable into small tasks that can be assigned to each of the workstations.

Because the work stations each do small amounts of work, the stations utilize specific techniques and equipment tailored to the individual job they are assigned.  This can lead to a higher production rate.

TET-1. TET-1 (, Technology Experiment Carrier) was a microsatellite operated by the German Space Operations Center of the German Aerospace Center. It was the centre of the OOV (On Orbit Verification) Program, initiated to offer on-orbit verification possibilities to the German industrial and scientific aerospace community. TET was based on the satellite bus used for the BIRD satellite, which was launched in 2001.

The main contractor for Phase A (feasibility) was IABG. The final contract for Phases B, C, and D (definition/qualification, and production) and start was given to Kayser-Threde GmbH, a medium-sized aerospace company based in Munich belonging to the German OHB-System group. The environmental qualification was successfully conducted in the IABG space simulation centre in Munich.

TET-1 was carried to orbit as a secondary payload on a Soyuz-FG/Fregat carrier rocket which was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on 22 July 2012. The primary payload of the launch was the Kanopus-V1 satellite, with the BelKA-2, Zond-PP and exactView-1 satellites also flying on the same rocket.

After 10 years in orbit, the TET-1 satellite re-entered into the atmosphere on 18 November 2022.

Frank Irving. Frank Irving (7 April 1925 – August 2005) was a British aeronautical engineer, glider pilot, author and university lecturer.

Early life and education 
Francis George Irving was born in Liverpool, United Kingdom.  He attended St. Edward's College,  and then Liverpool University.

Aeronautics 
Irving graduated from Liverpool University in 1944 with a First in Engineering.  After graduation, he worked as a civilian flight test observer at the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire.  In 1945 he completed the course for civilian observers at the Empire Test Pilots School.

He began lecturing in aeronautical engineering at Imperial College London in 1947 and continued until his retirement.  He was Warden of Beit Hall, a hall of residence for students of Imperial College, from 1950 to 1975.

He eventually became a Senior Lecturer in the field of performance, stability and control of aircraft.  He authored An Introduction to the Longitudinal Static Stability of Low-Speed Aircraft in 1966.

Irving became a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society in 1946 and was later elected a Fellow of the Society.

Gliding 
Irving learned to fly gliders with the Imperial College Gliding Club.  He then flew regularly in national gliding championships.

In 1955 Irving and Lorne Welch became the first pilots to cross the English Channel in a two-seat glider.  They launched from Lasham in Hampshire, flew to Dover, then across the Channel to Calais, over Brussels and landed at Leuven in Belgium, a distance of , a British record for a two-seat glider.

He was among British glider pilots who explored mountain lee waves to reach heights up to  and higher.  By 1962 he had achieved the Gold Badge with two diamonds.

Irving was Chairman of the technical committee of the British Gliding Association for 25 years.  He was also active in the Organisation Scientifique et Technique du Vol à Voile (OSTIV).  He presented twenty-one technical papers at OSTIV congresses.  He developed the Irving Tube to provide glider variometers with total energy compensation so glider pilots have accurate information about the rise and fall of the air in which they are flying.

He was closely associated with development of the Sigma, a very-high-performance experimental glider.

Irving was President of the Imperial College Gliding Club from 1969 until 1999 when, at the age of 74, he chose to cease flying solo.

Flow process chart. The flow process chart is a graphical and symbolic representation of the activities performed on the work piece during the operation in industrial engineering.

History
The first structured method for documenting process flow, e.g., in flow shop scheduling, the flow process chart, was introduced by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth to members of ASME in 1921 as the presentation "Process Charts, First Steps in Finding the One Best Way to Do Work". The Gilbreths' tools quickly found their way into industrial engineering curricula. 
 
In the early 1930s, an industrial engineer, Allan H. Mogensen, began training business people in the use of some of the tools of industrial engineering at his Work Simplification Conferences in Lake Placid, New York. A 1944 graduate of Mogensen's class, Art Spinanger, took the tools back to Procter and Gamble, where he developed their Deliberate Methods Change Program. Another 1944 graduate, Ben S. Graham, Director of Formcraft Engineering at Standard Register Corporation, adapted the flow process chart to information processing with his development of the multi-flow process chart to display multiple documents and their relationships. In 1947, ASME adopted a symbol set derived from the Gilbreths' original work as the ASME Standard for Process Charts.

Symbols

 Operation: to change the physical or chemical characteristics of the material.
 Inspection: to check the quality or the quantity of the material.
 Move: transporting the material from one place to another.
 Delay: when material cannot go to the next activity.
 Storage: when the material is kept in a safe location.

When to use it

 It is used when observing a physical process, to record actions as they happen, and thus get an accurate description of the process.
 It is used when analyzing the steps in a process, to help identify and eliminate waste—thus, it is a tool for efficiency planning.
 It is used when the process is mostly sequential, containing few decisions.

Manufacturing cost. Manufacturing cost is the sum of costs of all resources consumed in the process of making a product. The manufacturing cost is classified into three categories: direct materials cost, direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead. It is a factor in total delivery cost.

Direct materials cost 

Direct materials are the raw materials that become a part of the finished product. Manufacturing adds value to raw materials by applying a chain of operations to maintain a deliverable product. There are many operations that can be applied to raw materials such as welding, cutting and painting. It is important to differentiate between direct materials and indirect materials.

Direct labour cost 

The direct labour cost is the cost of workers who can be easily identified with the unit of production. Types of labour who are considered to be part of the direct labour cost are the assembly workers on an assembly line.

Manufacturing overhead 

Manufacturing overhead is any manufacturing cost that is neither direct materials cost nor direct labour cost. Manufacturing overhead includes all charges that provide support to manufacturing.

Manufacturing overhead includes 
Indirect labour cost: The indirect labour cost is the cost associated with workers, such as supervisors and material handling team, who are not directly involved in the production.
Indirect materials cost: Indirect materials cost is the cost associated with consumables, such as lubricants, grease, and water, that are not used as raw materials.
Other indirect manufacturing cost: includes machine depreciation, land rent, property insurance, electricity, freight and transportation, or any expenses that keep the factory operating.

Kawanishi K-11. The Kawanishi K-11 was a 1920s Japanese single-seat carrier fighter designed and built by the  Kawanishi Aircraft Company to meet an Imperial Japanese Navy requirement. The type did not enter service, and only two prototypes were built.

Development and design
The K-11 was a private venture programme designed to meet a 1926 Imperial Japanese Navy requirement for a single-seat carrier fighter to replace the Mitsubishi 1MF, competing against officially sponsored designs from Aichi (the Aichi Type H), Mitsubishi (the 1MF9), and Nakajima. The K-11 Experimental Carrier Fighter was an equal-span biplane with a conventional landing gear and powered by  BMW inline engine. It had a metal fuselage with fabric covering and wooden wings.

The first prototype made its maiden flight in July 1927, with a second prototype, with a modified fuselage and tail, being built in 1928. The type was not accepted by the Navy, however, with the Nakajima design being selected, entering production as the A1N. The two K-11s were used by Kawanishi as communications and liaison aircraft.

Mitsubishi 1MF9. The Mitsubishi 1MF9 or Mitsubishi Experimental Taka-type Carrier Fighter was a prototype Japanese fighter aircraft of the 1920s. It was a single-engined, single-seat biplane intended to operate from the Imperial Japanese Navy's aircraft carriers, but only two were built, with the type being rejected by the Navy.

Design and development

The standard carrier-based fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1926 was the Mitsubishi 1MF or Navy Type 10 Carrier Type Fighter, designed in 1921 by the ex-Sopwith British designer Herbert Smith. In April that year, a specification was issued to Mitsubishi, Aichi and Nakajima for a replacement for the Type 10, requiring the aircraft to stay afloat in the event of ditching in the sea. Mitsubishi gave the task of designing the new fighter to Joji Hattori, who had worked with Smith on the design of the Type 10. The resultant aircraft, the Experimental Taka-type (Falcon) fighter or 1MF9, was a single-bay biplane of wooden construction with fabric covering. It had a watertight fuselage and jettisonable fixed conventional landing gear to meet the Navy's ditching requirements (jettisonable because aircraft with fixed landing gear are very dangerous to land on water, since the drag from the water can easily flip the aircraft over when the wheels touch the surface), and was powered by a Mitsubishi Hi V-12 (licence-built Hispano-Suiza Lb). The pilot sat in an open cockpit, armed with two synchronised machine guns.

Operational history
The first of two prototypes flew in July 1927, being the first Japanese designed carrier-based fighter to fly, with the second following in September. It was not successful, with the design proposed by Nakajima, a modified version of the British Gloster Gamecock fighter being chosen for production as the Nakajima A1N, despite the fact that Nakajima and Gloster had chosen to ignore the requirement for easy ditching, allowing a lighter and more manoeuvrable aircraft.
