Lean production is widely understood to be production based upon a range of waste saving measures inspired by Japanese manufacturing companies‚ particularly the Kaizen and Just in time techniques. Metov’s plastics have taken the decision upon themselves to incorporate some of the characteristics of lean production namely time management and critical path analysis into their manufacturing process and I will examine these. One method used by Metov’s is critical path analysis (CPA). CPA is the process

necessarily generate some form of waste. The manufacturing process does not consist of hundred percent of conversion of material and energy inputs into usable final products; some portion of the material and energy inputs inevitably ends up wastes. When the waste generated exceeds the maximum assimilative capacity of the environment it becomes pollution. This seminar focuses on LEAN productions‚ which aims at elimination of wastes there by reducing the environmental degradation.

PRODUCTION OF VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM USED TYRES THROUGH PYROLYSIS ABSTRACT Pyrolysis has the potential of transforming used tyres into useful recyclable products. This paper demonstrates the conversion of scrap tyres into its primary products which are Pyro Oil and Carbon Black and a secondary value added compound‚ Activated Carbon. Further‚ the objectives of the work also include optimization of parameters such as temperature and feed size to study the efficiency of pyrolysis at different

THE ECONOMICS OF MASS PRODUCTION. The United States economy changed dramatically in the period following the Civil War. Business itself changed during this time: various ways were tried to increase the size of businesses‚ including trusts and holding companies. The average standard of living more than doubled between 1870 and 1910 and manufacturing‚ rather than agriculture‚ became businesses central feature. A major factor in this increase was the rise of big businesses and the widespread use

INTRODUCTION Cement is a binder‚ a substance that sets and hardens independently‚ and can bind other materials together. The word "cement" traces to the Romans‚ who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry resembling modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum‚ cimentum‚ cäment‚ and cement. Cement is made by grinding

organic wastes and by‐products from agriculture and the food industry is a process known for many years and is widely used for waste stabilization‚ pollution control‚ improvement of manure quality and biogas production (Weiland‚ 2006). Biogas production from manure contributes to climate protection by reducing emissions of CO2 via substitution of fossil fuels and by reducing CH4 emissions from the manure during storage (Moller et al.‚ 2007). It is expected that biogas production will be instrumental

5.1 Factors of production Capital 5.1 Factors of production KE Y I DEA The four factors of production are land‚ labour‚ enterprise and capital. Land This means the land itself‚ and any natural resources that come with it. So oil‚ natural gas‚ bauxite‚ fertile soil‚ a pleasant climate and sandy beaches are all included in this factor of production. Every business uses some physical space – though‚ for example‚ a bank or small home-based business uses much less land than an agricultural
