Locations and Business Layouts
Distribution and Layout
A business layout is a diagrammatic representation of a job prepared for typesetting. It establishes the overall appearance, relative importance, and relationships between the graphic contents to achieve a smooth flow of information and eye movement for maximum effectiveness.
Typical layout distribution characteristic:
Storage reservoirsare structures used to store water. They also equalize the supply or pressure in the distribution system.
A common example of a storage reservoir is an aboveground water storage tank.System accessoriesinclude the following:
a. BOOSTER STATIONS
Booster stations are used to increase water pressure from storage tanks orlow-pressure mains
b. VALVES
. Valves control the flow of water in the distribution system by isolating areas for repair or by regulating system flow or pressure.
c. HYDRANTS. Hydrants are designed to allow water from the distribution system to be used forfire-fighting purposes.
. METERS. Meters record the flow of water in a part of the distribution system
.e. SERVICE CONNECTIONS. Service connections are used to connect individual buildings or other plumbing systems to the distribution system.
Backflow preventers,such as air gaps and vacuum breakers, are used to prevent flow through potential cross-connections
.DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM LAYOUT
When distribution systems are carefully planned,the pipes are usually laid out in a grid or belt system. Anetwork of large pipes divides the community or baseinto areas of several blocks each
Breakeven Analysis
Is a graphical display or algebraic relations between volume , cost and revenue of an organization. As you increase the volume of outputs of a production system , also increase costs and revenues. Costs generally fall into two categories: fixed and variable . Fixed costs are those incurred regardless of production volume. These include heating , lighting and administrative expenses that are the same but are manufactured one or a thousand units .
Breakeven costs and revenues with discontinuous : both revenue and costs can be curvy and nonlinear functions on certain variations of production volumes, and functions may not be continuous with increasing volume . One of the main purposes of breakeven analysis is to discover the way in which the costs and revenues of the organization change according
