The process of minimizing the physical and perceptual loads imposed on people engaged in any type of work is known as Motion Economy. It could be in the office, the shop floor, the kitchen or at the driving wheel. This science leads to better design of equipment, jigs and fixtures, hand tools, furniture and labour saving devices.It also facilitates better layout of offices, warehouses, plants and operating areas like the office desk, work bench, aircraft, cockpit and crew compartments of armored fighting vehicles, etc. The application of the principles of Motion Economy eliminates or minimizes the wasteful and fatiguing movements and increases the productivity of workers. It insists on minimizing the movements with respect to:i. Number of movements ADVERTISEMENTS: ii. Length of movementsiii. Classification of movements Image Source: thyblackman.comiv. Number…

We can make a long list of how the oceans and marine life are important to us. Oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the earth’s surface. They contain 99 per cent of the living space on earth. Without this space for organisms to survive, there would be fewer phyla of animals on the earth. Perhaps this is the most important reason to protect the oceans to preserve the biodiversity of the Earth. 1. Biodiversity: Coral reefs, salt marshes, estuaries and mangroves and sea grass beds are just a few of the ocean environments which support a large number of different species of organisms, that is, have a high biodiversity. Estuaries are places where freshwater rivers and streams flow into the ocean, mixing with the seawater.Along with coral reefs,…

The various points of relationship between average cost and marginal cost are given below:Both average cost and marginal cost are derived from total cost. Average cost is obtained by dividing total cost by the number of units produced. Marginal cost is the cost of producing one additional unit of output.The total cost, in this reference, is the sum total of the total fixed cost plus total variable cost at a given level of output. Image Source : longtermcarenow.com ADVERTISEMENTS: The marginal cost curve bears relationship to the average cost curve. It is very important to have a clear idea about this relationship as it plays an important role in the price theory.The various points of relationship between average cost and marginal cost can be summed up as follows:(i) When average…

Positive thinking is the belief that good things will happen and that one’s efforts will be crowned with success. It is something diametrically opposed to negative thinking which is being fearful, apprehensive and unsure of success in efforts. Positive thinking is based on optimism, hope and belief that hard work is never wasted. The effects of positive thinking are magical. Psychologists believe that nothing gears up people to make whole-hearted efforts to perform some task as positive thinking.The feeling tones up every muscle of the body and activates every nerve of the mind for a perfect coordination between the body and the mind to do the job when hope enlivens a human being; his/ her efforts become focused and earnest. The vision of achievement and the glory or appreciation associated…
