Consumers, manufacturers, and retailers worldwide are becoming conscious about high quality products at minimum cost. But plenty of apparels are becoming waste which increases the cost of production. As resources are decreasing but increasing costs of the products. Effective apparel waste management is needed to ensure the profit. Reducing such waste can be profitable options for the manufacturers as well as the buyers. Considering this matter, a project work is done in a ready-made garment manufacturing industry to improve the quality of the products through using a traffic light system. A traffic light system was implemented to minimize the defect rates of production. The study shows that the average defect rates were dropped from 4.13 to 1.25 pieces of a line for daily eight hours of production. By implementing this system, the defect rates are minimized and the monthly production is also increased and it clearly depicts that the monthly capacity before implementing the traffic light system was equivalent but the defective production was more whereas, after implementation, the defective production was negligible.

In the current business environment, the costing system used within the firms has prominent impact on strategic decisions. High-quality cost data significantly increases the quality of firms' strategic decisions. The activity-based costing system has failed to satisfy the needs of firms operating in the competitive economic environment. The time-driven activity-based costing system is the developed version of activity-based costing system. Time-driven activity-based costing system is one of the most sophisticated costing systems that enable firms to accurately calculate the cost of goods and services. Time-equations are used in time-driven activity-based costing system to estimate the time consumed by each activity. This chapter aims to discuss main dynamics of time-driven activity-based costing system and provides an illustration of this costing system in the manufacturing industry. The case study demonstrates that time-driven activity-based costing system is useful in calculating idle capacity cost.

In the implementation of construction project activities there are thre things that influence the success and failure of the project: time, cost and quality. The success of a project is usually seen from the timing of completion which is relatively short but without neglecting the quality of the project work. Appropriate and targeted project management and management are required to ensure the time, cost, and quality of the project. This is certainly to avoid a variety of undesirable things such as late settlement, swelling costs, quality failures, and so on that could have an impact on project failure and the emergence of the cost of fines. The purpose of this study is to calculate changes in cost and time of project implementation with alternatives to additional working hours (overtime) comparing the results between normal and cost changes after the addition of working hours (overtime). The data used in this research is secondary data obtained from contractor implementing. Arrow diagram The results program are critical paths and cost increases due to the addition of working hours (overtime) while the result of the time cost trade off method is the acceleration of duration and the increased cost due to the acceleration of duration in any accelerated activity. The results of this study indicate that the total project time and cost under normal conditions is 508 days at a cost of Rp 22.240.655.701  with the addition of 3 hours of overtime work in the duration of crashing 485 days and at a cost of Rp 23.252.220.373,34

The absolute prevention of damage occurrence is not possible, thus reducing the probability of failure in a system and its impact is very important regarding the operation of a whole system. A failure in a system or in its subsystems makes negative results such as the stop in the production process, rising labor costs, and increasing the cost of maintenance. Reliability, in recent years, is mentioned as one of the most significant aspects of the quality of goods and services. In the past, reliability concerned sensitive and complex industries such as military, nuclear, and aerospace where the lack of their reliability could cause irreparable damage to the entire system. However, today it has become a universal concern. Tunneling equipment has grown in size and complexity and therefore, lack of reliability may cause massive costs to this equipment. Therefore, reliability determination in order to identify the components and subsystems with low reliability is essential. The aim of this study is to review the methods of tunneling equipment reliability analysis including statistical analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, Markov and fault tree methods. In addition, previous available research on the reliability analysis of tunneling equipment is presented.

In the garment manufacturing industry, purchasing management is an important link. The materials of making clothes often need high cost. In addition, customers put forward a request in the quality of clothes. Thus, choosing an optimal supplier is an essential part of job. Reaching cooperation with an optimal supplier not only can help garment manufacturer improve the quality of clothes but also is benefit to reduce the cost of producing. Most importantly, it can improve the competitiveness of manufacture enterprises. So, it is important for managers to find an optimal supplier and make a cooperation with it. In this paper, we analysis an issue about choosing an optimal supplier during four different suppliers. With analyzing this problem, we can introduce an extended method under picture fuzzy environment to evaluate and choose an optimal supplier. In this article, we describe some basic knowledges about picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) and picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs). Then, we introduce the extension of MABAC method which is on the basis of prospect theory (PT) with picture fuzzy numbers (PF-PT-MABAC) and utilize the PF-PT-MABAC model to evaluate different suppliers to choose an optimal supplier. Finally, we compare the result of PF-PT-MABAC with the result of traditional MABAC, PFWG operators and traditional TODIM method to test the efficiency of PF-PT-MABAC model.

This chapter is concerned with the use of contracts and payments as a means of ensuring that care maximizes health at minimum cost. The chapter aims to cover the full range of healthcare commissioning from the simplest form, an individual patient making a private payment to an individual practitioner, through to the most complex, tax-funded, social medicine ‘free at the point of delivery’. In all healthcare commissioning, a common set of concerns arise: The nature of the need, including an assessment of the (cost-) effectiveness of the relevant interventions; Examination of the services available, including inputs, quality of care, and outcomes; The costs and efficiency of the care on offer; The development of formal commissioning agreements.

Purpose The quality of production is an essential factor for the performance measure of a system; a casting process is the same section. It is a type of metal-forming practice in which the required shape of metal is acquired by pouring molten metal into the mold cavity and allowing it to solidify. Casting is done to provide strength and rigidity to the parts of a system for bearing mechanical impacts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the various aspects which affect the casting process in the foundry industry, in order to optimize the quality of casting, with the assumption that sufficient repair facility is always available. Design/methodology/approach The considered casting system can have many defects such as the mold shift defect, blowhole defect, defect of shrinkage and porosity, defect of inclusion, defect of cold shut and much more. The studied system can be in three states during the process, namely, good state, failed state and degraded state. The system can repair after minor failures as well as a major failure. The average failure rates of various defects of the system considered as constant and repairs follow the general time distribution. The system is analyzed with the help of the supplementary variable technique and the Laplace transformation for evaluating its various performance measures in order to improve its performance/production. Findings This work provides a strong understanding of the casting industry, that which failure affects the production of casting and how much. For better understanding, the results have been demonstrated with the help of graphs. Originality/value In the present paper, a mathematical model based on the casting process in manufacturing industry has been developed.

PT. X is a company domiciled in Gedebage, Bandung which is engaged in the manufacturing industry by producing precision parts using CNC machines. PT. X is a sub-contracting company that usually serves project work from other companies. PT. Y and PT. Z is a regular customer who often works with PT. X. So that PT. X often sends finished products directly to PT. Y who is domiciled on Jl. Gatot Subroto, Bandung and also PT. Z who is domiciled on Jl. Pajajaran, Bandung. To minimize the cost of distribution of goods, PT. X must determine an adequate path taking into account the optimization of transportation costs. One of the variables that affect transportation costs is distance. It is assumed that the optimal path for transportation costs is the shortest distance using the Dijkstra method. This test uses data from Google Maps to find out the distance to each destination, making it easier to get the shortest path. Obtained the shortest path from PT. X to PT.Y is 12.3 Km via West Java Police then Carefour, while the shortest route is from PT. Y to PT. Z is 10.7 Km via Simpang Lima then Vie Hotel Westhoff. So that the optimal total mileage for distributing goods is 23 Km.

AbstractThe main aim of presented article is to present methodology how sophisticated products as compressor equipment can be considered and analysed as a complex technical system which consists of jointly operating components – a set of hardware, software, operational staff and documented information. In process modelling, these components are interacting in different processes of inputs, outputs, mechanisms (resources) or management. Based on the regulatory requirements for each component of the system, a key efficiency indicator can be identified. This allows to control the process and make appropriate decisions to improve the system. The application of the proposed methodology for the development and implementation of an integrated management system reduce the cost of resources and significantly improve the quality of the implementation of processes.
