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.
Therefore, to reduce torsional strain, cyclohexane adopts a three-dimensional structure known as the chair conformation. The new conformation puts the carbons at an angle of 109.5Â°. Half of the hydrogens are in the plane of the ring (equatorial) while the other half are perpendicular to the plane (axial).yclohexane is used as a nonpolar solvent for the chemical industry, and also as a raw material for the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, both of which are intermediates used in the production of nylon.
