Figures 2. Fishbone Diagram Productivity. 4. PRODUCTIVITY PLANNING. Based on the results of evaluation and analysis diagram Fishbone can be seen that from the four variables of each input has occurred several causes that affect the decline in productivity. But the significant influence of the causes of the decline in company productivity is the material input and energy input variables. It can also be seen from data of partial productivity of real and partial energy productivity of IPA Deli Tua period of 2012-2016 period, decreasing 39.57% and 37.07% respectively. Having obtained accurate information about the leading causes of productivity decline, the next step is to plan for productivity improvements for the coming year based on materials and technology-based engineering. The productivity improvement plan is focused on cost savings. Productivity planning in question is by: 1. Replace water treatment chemicals in the form of alum PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride). 2. Install the bank capacitor for the electrical system at IPA Deli Tua. 3. Changed simultaneously by replacing the water treatment chemicals into PAC and the installation of bank capacitors. To change the water treatment chemicals from alum to PAC it is necessary to conduct laboratory experiments and then test statistical analysis to see which results are better and efficient regarding quality and cost. The test jar experiments were performed
3.0g of salicylic acid was weighed then 3.0mL of acetic anhydride and 6 drops of 85% H3PO4 were added to it. The mixture was warmed over a water bath for 5 minutes while stirring. After warming, 20 drops of distilled water was slowly added. 15mL of water was added then the solution was heated until it became clear. It was allowed to cool and was placed in an ice bath until the solution becomes cloudy. Using pre-weighed filter paper, the mixture was filtered and was allowed to dry in the filter paper.
In order to meet customer demands for higher product quality, to comply with federally-mandated environmental regulations, and to reduce production costs, HCC must spend $2,000,000 within the next three years to upgrade equipment. The upgrade is expected to result in production efficiencies that will lower material and labor costs by reducing defective products, process waste, in-process inventory, and production man-hours through simplified work processes. It has been over a decade since significant modifications were made to the production facilities. Those changes were mostly technical in nature and did not substantially alter work processes or reduce overall employment. The average productivity gain in the industry for the past five years has been 3% per year. Financing for the loan to purchase the equipment
The productivity and costs affect the economic directions. The Disney Company will be able to increase labor effectiveness and efficiency which in turns leads to higher gains. This leads to an increase in the performance thus the company growth. Also, high productivity leads low inflationary prices hence friendly market to the consumers of electronics and appliances of the Disney Company. The productivity and costs as an economic indicator will help the Disney Company sustain higher growth due to labor efficiency. Hence, the labor productivity growth will
1. To calculate multifactor productivity, we divided our inputs by total outputs. Beforehand, capital costs as well as barrel costs were low. When we calculated the multifactor productivity for 2009, the capital costs nearly doubled and the barrel costs also increased. This resulted in a minimal increase in productivity. Since the productivity percentage has decreased, some of the suggestions for Zychol Chemical Corporations would be to look for suppliers that can offer cheaper cost per barrel. Also re-examining the large increase in capital costs might provide some deeper insight into the drop of productivity.
The topic of this paper is on how tap water tastes in Tama is, and how people do not like the quality of it. People who live in rural areas are a target for bad water sources. The more people live out of town the worse the water. People say water sometimes tastes funny or smells funny. So us others are trying to find a way to help make the water not so bad.
All around the world, countries are fighting to keep their drinking water clean. Whether it’s streams, rivers, or lakes, countries have taken great measures to maintain high quality drinking water for both human consumption and animal consumption. Countries must first understand the sources of the polltion, then determine the best methods to eliminate the pollution. Clean drinking water is a valuable resource and a the key to human survival. Plants and animals also depend on water for their growth, so all water must be kept clean. The major contributors to water pollution can be classified in three categories, industrial, agricultural and municipal.
Through that conversation, Alex realized that “productivity is the act of bringing a company closer to its goal” ( 1992). Alex thought the company’s goal is to increase efficiencies but he later realized that every company’s goal, including his plant, is to make money or to be profitable and anything that comes closer to the goal is considered as productive.
Being able to increase productivity and revenues has always been the greatest challenge of any manager, and the manager of RL Wolfe, a plastic pipe manufacturer, was not an exception. Because of the low-efficiency percentage RL Wolfe had in comparison to their its competitors, John Amasi, director of Production and Engineering , had no other choice then came up with a new way of improving RL Wolfe production methods.
Productivity is the cornerstone of any organizations profitability. This means that any organization can be deemed productive if all its moving parts are working
The research has been done with carefulness , scrupulousness and the degree of exactitude in research investigation and It must fulfill the following conditions :
When reading the book The Goal written by Eliyahu Goldratt, there were many lessons that I learned in order to have a clear and concise understanding of a positive level of productivity in a company. To have a positive level of productivity there are may components that are taken into consideration. Understanding what it actually means to be productive and how to increase the level of productivity by knowing the actual goal of the company that is trying to be reached and the components that go into the process of being productive. There are many factors that contribute to the level of productivity and being able to identify these factors is the key ingredient to having a successful level of productivity.
Clean water supply is essential in establishing and maintaining a healthy community. There are two sources of water supply which are the surface water and ground water. Most natural waters are not suitable for consumption as it is contaminated by pathogens and also natural chemicals and minerals. In addition, as a city grew, wastes from human activities contaminate most of the water supplies. Water treatment plays an important role to properly treat a contaminated source of water supply in order to protect the health of consumers. Water treatment process is defined as a process of eliminating pollutants from untreated water to produce a biologically and chemically risk-free water, which is both potable and palatable for human consumption
Although production needs are being met, improvements in productivity are always at the forefront of management’s thoughts. Doing more with less is a constant effort for middle management and hourly laborers. Over all the
The disposal of untreated wastewater coming from the industries into the water bodies will pollute the water bodies because of its high concentrations. So, the wastewater produced from the industry should be treated properly to meet the permissible limits given by central and state pollution control boards. Therefore it is necessary to treat the wastewater properly with the help of an appropriate treatment plant. However, the treatment plant even though properly planned may not work satisfactory because of several reasons. Hence, it is essential to evaluate the treatment plant considering individual treatment unit in the entire treatment flow. In the present work emphasis has been given to the study of the performance of treatment facilities because of its importance in the conventional treatment of wastewater. Hence, the literature review related to the evaluation of the entire treatment process along with biological treatment process particularly suspended growth process Activated Sludge Process (ASP), attached growth process Trickling Filter (TF) and a combination of the both suspended and attached growth process Hybrid Reactor (HR) is presented in the following sections of this chapter.
