You could have just said, "yes, that's a very helpful description, Counselor." LOL

We're doing a lot of work here to minimize waste through LEAN, eliminate defects through Six Sigma, and manage barriers through the Theory of Constraints. Part of that is using CPM to map the business process. It's very eye-opening and can be applied to any "process."

A good book to read: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...06252?v=glance

All this stuff makes it seem like I can understand FrontSight... :eek:

:eek: is right. The altitude getting to you there? :)

in essence yes, a bottleneck is a 'constraint'

Rough example, you have 100 pieces of raw S30V slugs that need to processed, 4 processors are available, but each processor can only process 10 pcs per hour.
you have to have these done in 2 hours, if all goes 'well' you would have been able to process 80 pcs, what about the remaining 20 pcs?

adding another processor 'resource' could have fixed your problem, but alas he is a junior processor and can only process 5 units per hour....

so basically this scenario is constrained by a resource bottleneck combined with a unrealistic timeline.

Eggroll, This stuff make caveman go drink beer.

Yeah, only different

Eggroll, eggnog, add enough Tequila, what is the difference?

No Neanderthals there, Mr. Harsey!

First off congrats on a great forum.
I have never been in the military but have a great respect for all that due serve and protect this nation. I have been keeping the rolls of Skoal shipped out to some buddies in Kuwait.

My question is on the Chris Reeves line of knives.
Has anyone here had any exp. with his hollow handle knives??? I need a good blade for camping and canoing duty. Perhaps I would be better served with something else.

Machinist

Chris Reeve produces what some would consider the finest in hollow handled knives, and the price is commensurate with what you will intend to buy.

That being said I would recommend the Aviator, Mk VI or the Shadow IV from CR.


Now if this is a bit on the rich side, then you may want to look at the Buck Tiburon for the canoeing bit or the Benchmade River Rescue.

Thank you,
I don't mind spending $$$ on good tools, you do get what you pay for. ;)
