...MASkargo or Malaysia Airlines Kargo is a cargo airline with its head office in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. It is a cargo division of its parent company Malaysia Airlines that operates scheduled, charter air cargo services as well as airport to seaport cargo logistics via ground transportation. Challenges i. Outdated machinery and systems ii. Machinery is not fully operated iii. Warehouse design is not systematic iv. Volumes of tonnes v. Quality services and timing As you can see MASkargo’s vision is “To be your preferred air cargo partner” and the mission is “to ensure timely and cost effective transport of cargo from the point of acceptance to the point of delivery”, but with challenges that they have to face, it is really hard for MASkargo to achieve their long term objectives of becoming a major force in global air cargo handling. Last Thursday (October 25th, 2012), I can see that everything is in disorder and it is not systematic in term of the equipment, warehouse layout, services and etc. I’ve been told by one of the officer in the warehouse about MASkargo and Lodige Industries. Both signed a multi-million ringgit agreement which will redefine cutting-edge technology, elevating cargo handling system to a whole new level. It will be completed in five phases which is Diagnosis, Design and Development; Initial Repair and Modifications; IT System Implementation; Refurbishment and finally Enhancement.

...Doyne Mc Nally Project Failure Essay Title: International Airport Baggage Handling System Why the project was established: Denver International Airport, often called DIA, is an airport in Denver, Colorado. By land size, at 140 km2, it is the largest international airport in the United States, and the third largest international airport in the world. Back in late 1980’s the city of Denver felt they needed a larger airport to deal with the increasing amount of air traffic through the city, so they elected to construct a highly efficient, fully automated airport. The predicted passenger handling was an outstanding 50 million annually. It was envisioned as a state of the art airport mainly due to its luggage handling system. This system of automated baggage-handling would greatly reduce aircraft turnaround time. Faster turnaround meant more efficient operations and was a cornerstone of the airports competitive advantage. Project Sponsors and Stakeholders: The Airport Project Management team on behalf of the City of Denver was the major stakeholder but funding was also received from United and Continental Airlines as they would eventually use terminals as major hubs for their respective organisations. The company BAE Automated systems was employed by DIA to design a conveyor system to meet the airports needs. Ultimately the majority of funding came from the pockets of the citizens of Colorado. The overall cost of the project was $ Success Criteria: The airport's computerized...

...Egypt air introduction Egypt’s strategic location between Asia and Africa on the route between the Mediterranean basin and India and China made it an important hub of international trade. Egypt’s ambition is to develop its air cargo sector into a larger and more profitable industry with Cairo International Airport serving as a successful international cargo hub. The major objective of the national strategy for air cargo is to stimulate and to develop a financial & healthy air cargo industry in Egypt in the long term. This requires all airports with modern, well organized and operated cargo facilities and that’s what “Egypt air cargo” tries to implement in this field. First, Logistics is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow and storage of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements. But as we all know that Logistics is the backbone of supply chain of any company so today In this project Let’s discuss how Egypt air starts investments in this career and how it extended its business to include the managing and operating of other related projects , then let’s talk talk about Borg el Arab airport and the logistical activities in it determining the whole processes which is done to the cargo starting from the structure of “the cargo village building” and the steps made by its crew in...

...paper is primarily focusing on trends, observed by the author in designs which have been highlighted in research journals and project work. A case study is provided which highlights how some of the trends have been implemented on a current design. KEYWORDS: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Dedicated Outside Air Systems (DOAS), Ventilation decoupling, Variable Air Volume (VAV) 1.0 INTRODUCTION Throughout the 20th century, trends in HVAC design have been determined largely by technological advances and energy costs. Engineers have always sought to find new ways to ensure occupant comfort, but the level of attention devoted to finding innovative ways to reduce energy use has fluctuated over the last few decades. When energy costs have risen, energy efficiency has become a priority; when they have been low, it has been less of a design driver. This article identifies several trends which are being used to reduce energy use in commercial buildings. The trends to be considered include decoupling of ventilation and heating/cooling, designing systems for optimal efficiency, increased analysis in system design, and total building integration. This article is not intended to be a technical argument or justification for selection of one system against another. Many technical articles are available for more complete handling of each of the trends. 2.0 DESIGN TRENDS...

...Thesis Proposal Air-conditioning Systems Simulation and Energy Saving and Economic Analysis for Waiting Hall of Tianjin Railway Station Introduction Energy saving of buildings is ever-increasingly emphasized by modern society. With the emergence of innovative technologies, new materials, and sophisticated architectural design, designers are hard to know the energy consumption of a building. It will reduce the real meaning of building's energy consumption test if we conduct this test on a building already built. Therefore, it is recommended to simulate a building's energy consumption within project design stages. Owing to the complexity of the air conditioning process and the mechanism of thermal components, the work of analysis and computation is time-consuming. Meanwhile, simulation software advantages over the traditional way in the application of design compare and equipment selection. In a nutshell, building energy simulation softwares play a vital role in the analysis of building energy consumption. Tianjin Railway Station is the main railway transport hub of Tianjin city. With the help of software to simulate its air conditioning system and conduct energy analysis, we can obtain some salutary design advices, which are beneficial to the energy saving of Tianjin Railway Station. Introduction to Waiting Hall of Tianjin Railway Station Tianjin Railway Station is located in the center of Tianjin, at the junction of Heping District, Hedong District...

...Dubai World Center Airport Operations Management Name: Institution: ABSTRACT Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates, it has been a center for remarkable growth and development over the years. It currently has a population of a little over 2 million citizens. The past few decades have especially witnessed a rapid growth in the city’s development projects to a ‘world-leader’ status. Primarily, Dubai is an ideal region for socio-economic and infrastructure development owing to its geographical location. The Dubai World Central (DWC) in specific is an ideal and modern aerotropolis that is centered around Al Maktoum International Airport and serves the purpose of connecting flights from most parts of the world with tactical ease. It is noteworthy to mention that Dubai’s aviation sector is responsible for 28% of the Emirate’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Additionally, it is a source of employment for numerous local and international personnel (IBP, Inc., 2014). Dubai is one out of seven Arab Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is quite unfortunate that only little is known of its historic development since the culture of initial inhabitants did not focus on documenting happenings. Nonetheless, the area covered by the UAE has been occupied by people of Arab descent for thousands of years that have past. This is mostly because it served as a major trading area that connected the East and the West during prehistoric times (Ramos, 2012). By the inception of the 20th...

Performing a detailed strategic analysis of the financial, physical and human strategic capabilities should have shown the major threats in these areas before the project commenced. While reviewing the case I believe the decision to build a new airport was necessary however the actions taken have showed that the decision was made without appropriate strategic analysis and where problems where shown in the analysis, they were either overlooked and left without the appropriate actions or resolutions taken. SWOT Analysis of the Decision to Build Strengths: Feasibility Study showed that up to 50% of passengers traveling through Denver be transit passengers meaning a huge footfall through the airport and increasing flight numbers. In 1989 Denver voters voted in favour of the airport referendum, this was an important step in having stakeholders on side with the project plans. Analysis had shown by the year 2000 Stapleton Airport would be overwhelmed by the predicted increase in traffic to and from the airport. Its geographical position would increase the need for air travel in the...
