This paper revolves around the impact of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies in Indian Manufacturing industries. Statistics inculcates that a number of industries subsists, which are using different forms of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT). “Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT)” is a generic term, depicting an assembly of manufacturing technologies, which combines both scope and ...

The competitive dynamic business environment has forced large and small scale firms to reexamine their methods of doing business. For the last decades the large scale industries have implemented lean in order to sustain in a dynamic environment. But the small scale industries have ignored to implement lean due to economic factor. The benefits of lean implementation in large scale sector now rea...

The level of occupational health and safety management depends upon the scope of the industry as it varies according to the functions and scale. Designing the occupational health and safety management system for the small scale industries is more challenging due to their limited resources and other constraints. The basic groundwork for the proper implementation of occupational health and safety...

A Hall type model that includes intermediate materials in the production function and allows for non-stochastic time variation in the contribution of technical change to output growth is used to estimate markup and returns to scale for eight Australian manufacturing industries at approximately the two-digit level, during the period 197172 to 1984-85. Six of the eight manufacturing industries in...

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common health problem throughout the world and a major cause of disability in the workplace. This study was conducted among workers of a small scale forging Industries. The small scale forging units involve various kinds of high repetitive processes like Blanking, cutting, shearing, furnace loading, hammering, punching and trimming etc. the workers performin...

Has the European integration process lead to increased specialisation and what drives changes in specialisation? To address these questions we apply a model that incorporates endowments, technology and increasing returns to scale (IRS). Analyses reveal that countries with high capital accumulation have become increasingly specialised in capital-intensive industries; this holds for both human an...

Computer Network and Internet is growing every day. Computer networks allow communicating faster than any other facilities. These networks allow the user to access local and remote databases. It is impossible to protect every system on the network. In industries, the network and its security are important issues, as a breach in the system can cause major problems. Intrusion detection system (ID...

The purpose of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of a hydrostatic weighing method using total lung capacity (measuring vital capacity with a respirometer at the time of weighing) the prone position, and a small oblong tank. The validity of the method was established by comparing the TLC prone (tank) method against three hydrostatic weighing methods administered in a pool....
