Manufacturing companies in the textile and apparel field face stiff competition due to the globalization of trade between suppliers, producers and customers. To meet this challenge, they need to be efficient by adopting new lean manufacturing approaches and new analysis and management tools leading to more flexible and agile production and distribution processes. For the textile and apparel industry, where products’ life cycle is short due to fashion changes, a new integrated approach of production and distribution planning is needed. Based on linear programming techniques and integrating subcontracting activities, our approach takes into account the characteristics of demand, including its short life cycle, seasonality and fashion effect. For these reasons, a sequential approach is adopted, combining tactical and operational decision levels for production and distribution activities, in order to satisfy customer needs at lower cost by reacting quickly to changes and delivering on time. The deployed approach is structured according to the DMAIC lean tool. Validated on real instances, this approach proves its efficiency by achieving cost reduction when internal production capacity is adequately and efficiently planned.

Evaluating the life cycle of buildings is a valuable tool for assessing sustainability and analyzing environmental consequences throughout the construction operations of buildings. In this study, in order to determine the importance of building life cycle evaluation indicators, a new combination method was used based on a quantitative-qualitative method (QQM) and a simplified best-worst method (SBWM). The SBWM method was used because it simplifies BWM calculations and does not require solving complex mathematical models. Reducing the time required to perform calculations and eliminating the need for complicated computer software are among the advantages of the proposed method. The QQM method has also been used due to its ability to evaluate quantitative and qualitative criteria simultaneously. The feasibility and applicability of the SBWM were examined using three numerical examples and a case study, and the results were evaluated. The results of the case study showed that the criteria of the estimated cost, comfort level, and basic floor area were, in order, the most important criteria among the others. The results of the numerical examples and the case study showed that the proposed method had a lower total deviation (TD) compared to the basic BWM. Sensitivity analysis results also confirmed that the proposed approach has a high degree of robustness for ranking and weighting criteria.

Production capacity planning this company have obstacle in meeting its production target, then company oftentimes unable to fulfill consumer demands. It can be inflict the company loose. The problems is how planning production capacity based on Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) Method in order to make consumers demand be able to supplied? “ The researcher attempt to resolving problem in PT Muncul Abadi by aiming calculate product capacity plan based on Rough Cut Capacity Planning Method and determine required product. To be useful as consideration for the company in planning production. Forecast done within the coming one year term. Capacity planning base on Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) Method. From forecast result toward previous demand quantity period within 12 periods we could be make production index schedule and order Bill of Resources with standard time that is 0,000316 hours/kg. Able to know machine capacity need in 1 workday = 8 hours day, with 3 shifts per day, 1 week = 6 workdays, 1 month = 25 effective workdays then : available time per month = 25 effective workdays x 8 hours day x 3 shift per day = 600 hours/month. Available capacity for Washing machine = 1.394 hours/month. Available capacity for Crushing machine = 1.394 hours/month. Available capacity for Pelletizing machine = 1.859 hours/month.

Successful planning and production controls require active capacity planning, in order to be able to meet the established master production schedules. Lack of capacity will lead to production failures, delays in delivery to customers, and loss of confidence in the formal system resulting in a decreased corporate reputation. Overcapacity will result in low resource utilities, increased costs, product prices become competitive, decreased profits. Standard time is a measure of completion of a production process for one unit of product with justified clearance. The standard time required to process 40 Ton bunches of palm fruit sterilizer is 94.70 minute/unit, for thresher machine 73,31 minutes/unit, for screw press machine 96,48 Minutes / unit, and oil purification machine 147,13 minute/unit. Efficiency is the ability of the machine to produce a product. The efficiency of sterilizer machine is 88.00%, for thresher machine is 88.00%, for screw press machine is 88.80%, and oil purification machine is 74.00%. Machine utility is the percentage of machine usage in units of time. The sterilizer machine utility is 81,33%, for thresher machine is 87,35%, for screw press machine is 86,88%, and oil purification machine is 83,18%.

<p>To the welfare of both economy and communities, our society widely exploits geo-resources. Nevertheless, with benefits come risks and even impacts. Understanding how a given project intrinsically bares such risks and impacts is of critical importance for both industry and society. In particular, it is fundamental to distinguish between the specific impacts related to exploiting a given energy resource and those shared with the exploitation of other energy resources. In order to do so, it is useful to differentiate impacts in two categories: routine impacts – caused by ordinary routine operations, investigated by Life-cycle assessment with a deterministic approach – and risk impacts – caused by incidents due to system failure or external events, investigated by risk assessments with a probabilistic approach. The latter category is extremely interesting because it includes low probability/high consequences events, which may not be completely independent or unrelated, causing the most disastrous and unexpected damages. For this reason, it is becoming more and more crucial to develop a strategy to assess not only the single risks but also their possible interaction and to harmonize the result obtained for different risk sources. Of particular interest for this purpose is the Multi-Hazard/Multi-Risk Assessment.</p><p>The aim of our work is to present an approach for a comprehensive analysis of impacts of geo-resource development projects. Routine operations as well as risks related to extreme events (as e.g.,seismic or meteorological) are linked using a Multi-Hazard Risk (MHR) approach built upon a Life-Cycle analysis (LCA). Given the complexity of the analysis, it is useful to adopt a multi-level approach: (a) an analysis of routine operations, (b) a qualitative identification of risk scenarios and (c) a quantitative multi-risk analysis performed adopting a bow-tie approach. In particular, after studying the two tools, i.e. LCA and MRA, we have implemented a protocol to interface them and to evaluate certain and potential impacts.</p><p>The performance of the proposed approach is illustrated on a virtual site (based on a real one) for geothermal energy production. As a result, we analyse the outcome of the LCA, identify risk-bearing elements and events, to finally obtain harmonised risk matrices for the case study. Such approach, on the one hand, can be used to assess both deterministic and stochastic impacts, on the other hand, can also open new perspective in harmonizing them. Using the LCA outputs as inputs of the MRA can allow the analyst to focus on particular risk pathways that could otherwise seem less relevant but can open new perspective in the risk/impact evaluation of single elements, as we show in this case study.</p><p>This work has been supported by S4CE ("Science for Clean Energy") project, funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 - R&I Framework Programme, under grant agreement No 764810 and by PRIN-MATISSE (20177EPPN2) project funded by Italian Ministry of Education and Research.</p>
