PROCESS MANAGEMENT. Companies begin the process of organizing operations by setting competitive priorities. That is they must determine which of the following eight priorities are to be emphasized as competitive advantages: 1. Low-cost operations 2. High performance design. 3. Consistent quality 4. Fast delivery time.
1 Note that in chair cyclohexane, there are two different types of C-H bonds, and thus two chemically different types of hydrogens. 2  The C-H bonds which point vertically upward or downward are called axial. 3  There are 6 of these, 3 upward and 3 downward bonds, and they alternate up/down/up, etc., around the ring. The ground state conformation of cyclohexane is a fully staggered conformation which is shaped somewhat like a chair. 2  In this conformation there is no torsional strain at all, and as we shall see later, no strain of any kind.
The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is the chair form shown to the right. The C-C-C bonds are very close to 109.5o, so it is almost free of angle strain. It is also a fully staggered conformation and so is free of torsional strain.
