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.
This is a cycloalkane. Though it has the similar number of carbons like benzene, cyclohexane is saturated. So there arenât any double bonds between carbons like in benzene. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odor. This can be produced by the reaction between benzene and hydrogen. Since this is a cycloalkane, it is somewhat unreactive. Cyclohexane is nonpolar and hydrophobic. Therefore, this is used as a nonpolar solvent in the chemistry laboratory. Cyclohexane is considered to be the most stable cycloalkane of all because, its total ring strain is minimum.
