A lean-to shelter is a simplified free-standing version of a wilderness hut with three solid walls and a single- or, in the case of an Adirondack lean-to, offset-pitched gable roof. The open side is commonly oriented away from the prevailing weather. Often it is made of rough logs or unfinished wood and used for camping.
An Adirondack lean-to or Adirondack shelter is a three-sided log structure popularized in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York which provides shelter for campers. [1] Since their development in the Adirondacks, this type of shelter has seen use in a number of parks throughout the United States, such as Isle Royale National Park in ...
Depending on the size and style of the plan, the materials needed to construct a typical house, including perhaps 10,000–30,000 pieces of lumber and other building material, [4] would be shipped by rail, filling one or two railroad boxcars, [6] [7] which would be loaded at the company's mill and sent to the customer's home town, where they would be parked on a siding or in a freight yard for ...
A Allocation of costs is the transfer of costs from one cost item to one or more other cost items. Allowance - a value in an estimate to cover the cost of known but not yet fully defined work. As-sold estimate - the estimate which matches the agreed items and price for the project scope. B Basis of estimate (BOE) - a document which describes the scope basis, pricing basis, methods ...
A simplified net present value method where the value of the stock is obtained by multiplying the current volume of standing timber by its stumpage price, assuming the rate of discount is equal to the natural growth rate. S = A * p * Q. Value of standing timber = Area * price per m 3 * Quantity of timber. Consumption value method.
Single-minute digit exchange of die (SMED) is one of the many lean production methods for reducing inefficiencies in a manufacturing process. It provides a rapid and efficient way of converting a manufacturing process from running the current product to running the next product.
Giant Rock is a large freestanding boulder in the Mojave Desert near Landers, California, and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms covering 5,800 square feet (540 m 2) of ground. Giant Rock is the largest freestanding boulder in North America and is purported to be the largest free standing boulder in the world.
The project is structured and managed as a value generating process (value is defined as satisfying customer requirements); [19] while PMI considers less cost as value. In the lean approach, downstream stakeholders are involved in front end planning and design through cross functional teams (Ballard, LPDS, 2000). PMI doesn't consider this issue.
