The present situations and future prospects of the Japanese automobile industry are discussed. Selected topics in this paper include the following: analyses of the basic product-industry characteristics of the automobile (e.g., product architecture); the mature of the dynamic competition in the world auto industry; competitive performance (e.g., productivity) of the Japanese auto makers; organi...

Her geçen gün azalan doğal kaynaklar, kötüleşen çevresel koşullar tüketicileri bir noktada bilinçli olmaya teşvik etmeye başlamıştır. Tüketicilerin bu olumsuz şartları düzeltebilmek için elini taşın altına koyabilmesinde en temel faktör şüphesiz ürünlerdir. Bu ürünlerin çevreye olabildiğince az zararı veren, kaynakları tüketme konusunda daha hassas ve geri dönüşümü olması ürünün “yeşil ürün” ol...

Feed costs amount to approximately 70% of the total costs in pork production, and feed efficiency is, therefore, an important trait for improving pork production efficiency. Production efficiency is generally improved by selection for high lean growth rate, reduced backfat, and low feed intake. These traits have given an effective slaughter pig but may cause problems in piglet production due to...

Lean manufacturing has been widely adopted by many production companies. Apart from the operational difficulty associated with conversion from a traditional, functional based operation, adoption of Lean manufacturing involves significant organizational transformations. It requires formation of work teams, comprised of multi-skilled workers. The work teams are preferably self directed and need t...

• Analysis of effect variable NG feedstock on an industrial ammonia process. Natural gas (NG) composition was varied in the range 83–99.99% vol dry methane. Lean has a positive impact raw material intensity and CO 2 emissions. Sensitivity analysis shows that sustained energy efficiency plant is possible. Ammonia plays critical role as second most produced chemical commodity with around 80% used...

With increased international competitiveness in the automotive industry, came the concern of the companies save costs and lower production costs. For this purpose many ways are designed to reduce costs and waste of raw materials and reduce activities that do not aggregate value to manufacturing processes. In the early XVII appears the manufacturing system, which processes were hard with little ...
