...India wheat milling industry David McKee davidmckee59@msn.com Submitted March 15, 2012 to World Grain magazine. The owners of roller flour mills in India like to describe their country’s wheat industry in sweeping terms: an annual harvest that has reached a record level of 88 million tons; about one third of the crop each used by farmers, bought by traders or by the government; more than 1200 roller milling companies grinding from 15 to 18 million tons of wheat per year into refined flour called maida; several million tons of branded packaged stone ground whole wheat flour or “atta”; and most importantly 40 to 45 million tons of atta still ground on a job work basis in villages, towns and even in large cities by small electric or diesel driven stone mills, known as chakkis. Such broad brush strokes however conceal the enormous complexity of India’s grain value chain. Wheat production and consumption vary enormously from region to region. Differing tax regimes on wheat purchasing and wheat product sales give artificial advantages to millers in some states and put those in others at a huge disadvantage. Government procurement of wheat for the “central pool” in surplus states and movement to deficit states for heavily subsidized distribution to the poor under an array of state level welfare schemes results in massive distortion of markets and creates huge incentives for illegal behavior at all levels of the supply chain, as does a highly regulated agricultural marketing...

...1. Introduction This report aims to identify and analyze the underlying problems with Eastern Gear, Inc. Currently, there are too many shortcomings in its system, rendering it inefficient right from the beginning. In the first part of this report, the problems face by Eastern Gear, Inc. are identified and elaborated. Subsequently, possible solutions to these problems are analyzed and dissected, identifying their respective advantages and disadvantages. At the end of the report, relevant suggestions and recommendation are presented, together with its feasibility. 2. Problems faced by Eastern Gear, Inc. 2.1. Make to order (MTO) The business strategy used by Eastern Gear, Inc. is Make-to-order. In a nutshell, this meant that products are built according to customer-dictated blueprints. The beginning construction of a product only after the design is confirmed represents longer downtime between order and readiness of ordered goods as compared to an organization which operate in a more conventional manner of selling template, mass produced products which are readily available at point of purchase. Adding on to the fact that customers usually do not pay in full during initial placement of order, this may cause cash flow retardation. Furthermore, customers with heavy considerations with regards to the time factor may be put off by the waiting time. 2.2. Order process As mentioned above, some customers see time as a key deciding factor when making a purchase. Orders are not finalized...

...wind-driven natural ventilation in buildings since similarly ancient times. Windmills have been used for irrigation pumping and for milling grain since the 7th century AD in what is now Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. In the United States, the development of the "water-pumping windmill" was the major factor in allowing the farming and ranching of vast areas otherwise devoid of readily accessible water. Wind pumps contributed to the expansion of rail transport systems throughout the world, by pumping water from water wells for the steam locomotives. The multi-bladed wind turbine atop a lattice tower made of wood or steel was, for many years, a fixture of the landscape throughout rural America. When fitted with generators and battery banks, small wind machines provided electricity to isolated farms. The modern wind power industry began in 1979 with the serial production of wind turbines by Danish manufacturers Kuriant, Vestas, Nordtank, and Bonus. These early turbines were small by today's standards, with capacities of 20–30 kW each. Since then, they have increased greatly in size, with the Enercon E-126 capable of delivering up to 7 MW, while wind turbine production has expanded tso many countries. Like every form of power generation, wind-generated electrical power offers several advantages, as well as some disadvantages and drawbacks ADVANTAGES 1. The use of wind turbines does not generate pollution or radioactive waste like most other forms of electricity...

...Industrial Robots and Engineering systems Task 2 One Japanese manufacturer, by installing a flexible manufacturing system, has reduced the number of machines in one facility from 68 to 18, the number of employees from 215 to 12, space requirements from 103000 square feet to 30000 and processing time from 35 days to a 1.5 days. “Ford has poured $4,400,000 into overhauling its Torrence Avenue plant in Chicago, giving it flexible manufacturing capability. This will allow the factory to add new models in as little as two weeks instead of two months or longer. The flexible manufacturing systems used in five of Ford Motor Company's plants will yield a $2.5 billion savings. By the year 2010, Ford will have converted 80 percent of its plants to flexible manufacturing.” (www.ford-motorcompany.com) Looking at local FMS systems, we have Nissan in Sunderland and Greggs in Longbenton. Both these companies have fantastic FMS systems, with virtually no human input, loading- manufacture-unloading is all completed by FMS, this removes the need for human input, which greatly improves quality and output. There are more benefits to FMS, using humans for repetitive work can be dangerous for the body, fatigue is a large part in human operation and if done for long periods of time (i.e. a 10-20 years of work) the human body begins to shut down, creating problems such as arthritis and repetitive strain injury.

Machine tools OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) saw their sales plummet by up to 65% in the wake of the decline of their customer markets, such as automobile manufacturing. The crisis, made worse by the decline in lending, effectively stopped all capital investment over the last couple of years. With such low turnovers, none of the classical cost reduction measures like short time working, inventory reduction and efficiency measures was enough to avoid negative earnings. In contrast, the traditional industry challenges of improved machining quality, reduced machine costs and improved end user operating costs...

...price policy II. Major Problem A. The dilemma for Standard Machine is whether it needs to uphold its fixed price policy or adjust it to maintain the mutually rewarding relationship with Occidental. III. Possible Solutions/Alternatives A. Standard Machine could leave the fixed price policy in place. For many years Standard and Occidental have been doing business with each other and it has been a mutually rewarding relationship. B. Since the milling machine is for Occidental’s new training center, Standard Machine could just give the machine to Occidental for a joint learning pilot where Standard Machine’s machine operators could be trained on its use. After a few years, Occidental could return the machine or purchase it for half of the original price. C. Standard Machine could withdraw their bid. Tony could argue the fact Standard would have to cut corners on the product thus causing Occidental to not get the quality that they are used to. IV. Advantages and Disadvantages A. The advantages...

...1.0 MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS PLANNING (MRP) DEFINITION Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. It is the process that helps companies makes volume and timing calculation. Most of MRP is based on the software, sometime company use the existing software and make the new software based on the company wants. The objectives of MRP system are to: • Ensure materials are available for production and products are available for delivery to customers. • Maintain the lowest possible material and product levels in store. • Plan manufacturing activities, delivery schedules and purchasing activities. • Required goods are available when required at a right place and time. • Reduce storage and inventory holding cost and improve customer service. MRP system typically requires certain data records which the MRP programs checks and update. The chart below shows the information required to perform MRP and some of the output. Customer order record exactly what each customer has ordered, how many they ordered and when they required delivery. Forecast demand using historical data to predict future trends, cycle and seasonality is always difficult. This process is more to predict of the orders. Inventory record in MRP is to know how some of the required items already in stock. This stock may be in the progress or in raw of material. Bills of the material contains detailed...

...Study of Manufacturing of Turbine Blades A Summer Internship Project Report Abstract Steam Turbine is a prime mover which converts the energy associated with the steam into mechanical energy which results in the rotation of the turbine rotor. It is nearly an ideal working device among all heat engines and prime movers and widely used in Power plants and in all industries to generate power because of its greater thermal efficiency and higher power-to-weight ratio. Presently, 80% of all electricity is generated by using steam turbines alone. In this project report, I have mainly concentrated on the turbine-rotor-blades. Because, the rotor is the heart of the turbine and it affects (i.e. blading of rotor) the efficiency of the steam turbine. In this manufacturing of blades is widely focused.

...layouts include fixed-position, combination, cellular, and certain types of service layouts. PROCESS LAYOUT Process layouts are found primarily in job shops, or firms that produce customized, low-volume products that may require different processing requirements and sequences of operations. Process layouts are facility configurations in which operations of a similar nature or function are grouped together. As such, they occasionally are referred to as functional layouts. Their purpose is to process goods or provide services that involve a variety of processing requirements. A manufacturing example would be a machine shop. A machine shop generally has separate departments where general-purpose machines are grouped together by function (e.g., milling, grinding, drilling, hydraulic presses, and lathes). Therefore, facilities that are configured according to individual...

Alternative names are printed wiring board (PWB),and etched wiring board. A PCB populated with electronic components is a printed circuit assembly (PCA), also known as a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). PCBs are rugged, inexpensive, and can be highly reliable. They require much more layout effort and higher initial cost than either wire-wrapped or point-to-point constructed circuits, but are much cheaper and faster for high-volume production. Much of the electronics industry's PCB design, assembly, and quality control needs are set by standards that are published by the IPC organization.
