Evaluating the Role of Supply Chain over the Molds and Dies in the Production Process through Systematic Layout Planning

The authors propose a synergy of expert approach methods through the Systematic layout planning (SLP) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as tools for the shipyard production process design towards an optimal material flow, in combination with Simulation modeling (SM). Most production process designs are based on the conventional methodology of comparison initiating with benchmarking. Such approach can be misleading. For more reliable and efficient results, the approach suggested by the authors uses a combination of the mentioned three methods within the frame of an expert approach. Firstly, the Systematic layout planning is used for generating a larger number of suboptimal shipyard production process design alternatives. Then, these alternatives are analyzed through an objective decision making tool to reach an optimal material flow alternative. Further, such optimal alternative is tested and evaluated by Simulation modeling (SM). Finally, the presented methodology is confirmed on a case study as a viable approach to an efficient and reliable shipyard production process design.

The aim of this article was to answer the question whether and to what extent the amendments to the legal organisation of the milk and milk products market introduced as of 1 January 2018 contribute to improving the lives of milk producers and the development of the market. This refers to certain legal solutions adopted by the EU legislator which aim to strengthen the role of agricultural producers and their organisations in the agri-food supply chain. The amendments to Regulation 1308/2013 have not changed the organisational framework of the market, but addressed basically two issues – the obligation to conclude raw milk delivery contracts and contractual negotiations in this sector. The legal solutions adopted by the legislator are very positive. Written contracts, which are mandatory in many Member States, define and guarantee the producers’ rights and clearly indicate the obligations associated with the production process. In turn, entrusting the role of a negotiator of contract terms to producers’ representatives should be seen as recognition of their significant role in shaping the market in a manner adequate to its needs.

Systematic Layout Planning

Due to introduction of new vehicle models, an automobile manufacturing enterprise usually needs to make corresponding adjustments of the facility layout of the door welding workshop. On the basis of analyzing the production process and logistics characteristics of the welding line, the facility layout of the workshop is improved and the production logistics cost is reduced by using the SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) and internal logistics analysis method. Finally, a real production example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Systematic Layout Planning

This paper is aimed at reducing the costs, maintaining the quality and designing the plant layout that is flexible to meet the customer demand. A number of stations in the after test assembly and after paint assembly are selected for capturing the production process requirements. Then, failure mode and effects analysis of after test assembly is carried out. Layout designs for the after test assembly and after paint assembly are developed using systematic layout planning and are validated using Spaghetti diagrams. With the improved layout, considerable reduction in the distance moved by the operator has resulted in 20 percent cost saving at 80 percent Takt time.

Agriculture Development

Technology united with research and development has evolved as a grave differentiator of the agriculture sector in India including production, processing, and agriculture packing and marketing of given crops. Near about 50 percent of the Indian workforce was engaged in the agriculture sector but its share in GDP was only 14 percent, much lower in comparison to former. Though, certain agriculture items showed a steady annual increase in terms of kilograms per hectare. Agriculture transformed significantly over the past few decades but when it comes to investment in research and development there is a lot more which needs to be done. The paper analyzes the role of various research and development institutions in boosting the growth of the agriculture sector that helps in attaining sustainable agriculture development and self-sufficiency in the production process since independence. It also focusesed on the various issues faced by these development institutions. The findings unveiled that since independence a lot more was done to boost the research and development in the agriculture sector at both the center and state levels but a proper implementation of these policies along with transparency could bring more desirable outcomes than were gained at present.
