An erosion hazard index methodology (EHIM) was developed for assessing stream erosion. The index of stream erosion is designed as a management tool. Assessing stream erosion involves consideration of a range of aspects of streams and a value judgment about a desirable state. The assessment of the erosion indicators of streams was based on a state-wide assessment of physical stream condition. A ...

This research explores potential improvements in efficiency through improved cell layout and value stream mapping. Analysis of cell layout led to significant reductions in material handling and operator movement along with reduction in cell area thereby improving overall productivity. Value stream mapping of protector assembly, one of the company's products, identified hidden inefficiencies in ...

A traditional lean transformation process does not validate the future state before implementation, relying instead on a series of iterations to modify the system until performance is satisfactory. An enhanced lean process that includes future state validation before implementation is presented. Simulation modeling and experimentation is proposed as the primary validation tool. Simulation model...

Synchronization is widely regarded as a fundamental problem in multimedia systems. One can distinguish between two levels of multimedia synchronization, continuous synchronization and event-based synchronization. While the first one aims at the synchronized play-out of data streams, the latter ones orchestrates the presentation of possibly distributed multimedia objects. Multimedia objects may ...

Quasi Simultaneous-Multiple Births and Deaths (QBD-M) Processes are used to model many of the traffic, service and related problems in modern communication systems. Their importance is on the increase due to the great strides that are taking place in telecommunication systems and networks. This paper presents the overview of the Spectral Expansion (SE) for the steady state solution of QBD-M pro...

lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. in a more basic term, more value with less work. since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

<p>This study aims to identify and reduce waste in PT Rajapaksi Adya Perkasa manufacturing company. The analysis uses the concept of green productivity with Green Value Stream Mapping as model. Through GVSM current state, this calculates amount production line including seven waste. result shows an improvement minimize that occurs through future state. technique increases value from 1.12 ...

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a commonly assessed method employed for the analysis of manufacturing processes. The principal asset of the method is its ability to identify wastes. Adopting lean manufacturing and lean management rules it is possible to eliminate such wastes. In the paper the case study of a manufacturing process of sleeves is presented. The current value stream map (CSM) and the...

Nowadays companies looking for increase of quality, flexibility and timeliness. One way to achieve these goals is lean thinking. To implementation lean production, companies are looking for waste reduction and Continuous improvement. This article Using the technology acceptance model (TAM) examined whether management accountants’ perceptions of the perceived ease of use (PEOU), or perceived use...
