The document discusses how improving logistics in the construction industry can lead to substantial benefits by reducing waste, delays, and improving safety. It outlines how engaging designers early and planning deliveries, storage, and on-site movement can cut costs by 10-30%. Case studies demonstrate benefits like completing projects ahead of schedule, reducing accidents, and minimizing waste. Overall, implementing lean construction techniques like just-in-time delivery and supply chain management is argued to improve productivity, quality, and competitiveness in the industry.
EU emission regulations has forced the automotive industry to adopt lightweighting strategies through material selection and design. There has been an industry focus on body in white lightweighting through the use of innovative materials, however, with manufacturing costs proving difficult to swallow, OEM's are exploring other options to reduce weight and meet CO2 emission requirements.
With this in mind, the Automotive Lightweight Interiors Congress has been engineered to explore the opportunities for lightweighting by adopting material and design strategies within the interior components. With emerging consumer trends such as infotainment, noise reduction, luxury textiles and electronic air conditioning, interior lightweighting strategies face the challenge of meeting customer expectations, safety standards whilst being financially viable.

Regardless of how different the vehicle design is, how advanced the manufacturing plant is and how large the budget is, every large scale OEM in the US, Europe and Asia is working towards every single one of these goals.
Every OEM is researching and testing and piloting to figure out three key things:
Which joining and forming techniques deliver the highest performance at the lowest costs on different advanced lightweight materials
In which parts of the vehicle can these techniques be most cost effectively applied
How can they be implemented quickly and cost effectively into the production line

THE US-WIDE WEIGHT REDUCTION DRIVE ADVANCES AT PACE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are issuing final rules to extend the National Program to further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve fuel economy for model years 2017 through 2025 light-duty vehicles. These are projected to result in an average industry fleet wide level of 163 grams/mile of carbon dioxide (CO2) in model year 2025 (equivalent to 54.5 mpg vs. 29 mpg in 2013). With these regulations in place, OEMs are under increasing pressure to further explore all possible methods and strategies that will help ensure these stringent standards are cost effectively met. OEMs have ranked "meeting of the fuel efficiency and emission targets" as the top challenge that they presently face.

cost control analysis as effective tools in construction industry in nigeriaNewman Jonathan
Nevertheless, the construction industries require cost estimation techniques/analysis scheme like other similar schemes aimed at foreseeing the future of the projects to accomplish the profitability targets.
Due to large operations inherent in the construction industries, managers needed to imbibe the culture of forecasting activities in terms of costs control techniques in order to see future at the beginning of the project. These therefore justify the establishment of Project Control Department were cost controllers and cost estimators are domicile in the company

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

LOGISTICS &
PRODUCTIVITY
PART 1
2. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Construction industry has been slower
than other industries to realise the benefits
that the application of good logistics can
provide.
engaging designers at the very early
stages of construction process,
This allows them to consider important issues
such as:
how the components they design might be
delivered to site,
3. Construction Productivity-Logistics
when the component will be needed,
Is the supplier located close to the site,
Is the supplier in UK or abroad?
how it will be handled on site,
This kind of pre-planning can lead to a
substantial reduction in:
Unnecessary transport costs,
time wasting, and damage on site.
4. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Steps to take:
1. Identify the key issues that need to be addressed
to improve logistics,
Develop an Action Plan:
1. MUST highlight every steps is needed to be
undertaken by the different parts of the industry.
Establish a Methods:
1. by which the impact of the proposals in the
Action Plan can be measured,
2. a resulting improvement in logistics must be
demonstrated,
7. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Inadequacy of logistics in the construction
process can be demonstrate in areas such
as:
part-loads lorries,
whereas the retail sector and manufacturing
industry are constantly working to
consolidate delivery loads to ;
1. maximise volume of delivery for each trip,
2. reduce transport costs,
8. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Many deliveries arriving at construction
sites must wait to gain access to site,
wait for a long time to be unloaded,
This becomes more of a problem when
project is big,
or it is in the heart of the town,
Retail and other sectors designate time
slots for supplier deliveries.
Construction industry should follow time
slot policy.
9. Construction Productivity-Logistics
In retail
late or early deliveries can be turned away,
suppliers are charged a penalty.
In construction,
skilled craftsmen are often being asked to carry
out non skilled workers job.
Some observers argue that:
some times 50% of skilled worker’s time are
used for non-skilled works.
10. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Amongst the non-skilled work, skilled workers
often get involved in:
unloading lorries,
moving products around site,
they are asked to clear site from waste/hazards,
Other industrial and retail sectors use special
equipment to unload lorries,
There are specially trained teams to deal with
material handling activities.
11. Construction Productivity-Logistics
products are often stored on site for long
periods of time,
have to be moved to other parts of the site
when they are eventually needed.
Unlike JIT deliveries-materials get damaged
on site,
As a result material wastage are high in
some sites.
Waste control and logistics have a strong
correlation.
12. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Retailers /other industries are continually
trying to reduce inventories,
Make sure that goods are stored in the
most appropriate location.
Effort goes into:
delivering the right quantities at the right
time,
This has been achieved through the use
of lean methods such as:
13. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Supply Chain Management,
Just-In-Time techniques.
It is based on lean manufacturing, of the Toyota
Production system.
developed by Taichii Ohno in the 1950s.
Lean construction is a process used to maximize
value and reduce waste.
Lean construction comes from Lean production.
It captures these objectives through the use of
Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Just-In-Time
(JIT) techniques,
14. Construction Productivity-Logistics
In construction-higher proportion of damaged
and waste product than in other sectors.
There is little formal training in logistics,
there are a large number of tasks that needs
proper planning,
They come under good logistics .
In many other sectors, training in logistics skills
is given much greater priority,
some companies employ people with degrees
in the subject,
15. Construction Productivity-Logistics
specialist contractors often arrive on site too
early or too late,
They always claim that previous job finished
later than it was expected.
Good manufacturers plan their work properly.
There continues to be much secondary working
on site.
whereas other industrial sectors make every
effort to get it right first time.
Avoiding multiple handling.
16. Construction Productivity-Logistics
What are the consequences of poor
Logistics?
Unnecessary cost in the system
Research by Building Services Research
and Information Association (BSRIA) in the
10 years since 2000 has shown that:
on average 10% of the working day of site
operatives in all trades is lost due to:
waiting for materials,
17. Construction Productivity-Logistics
collecting materials,
tools,
equipment.
site operations account for about 30% of
construction costs,
this would suggest that this inefficiency
alone is adding about £3billion to the
annual cost of construction.
18. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Poor image of the construction industry
Lorries waiting on the main road to unload
does not give the image of an efficient
industry.
Poorly run sites with skilled craftsmen
being used for un-skilled jobs,
This will reduce the construction
productivity.
19. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Excessive waste on site does not represent a
good image,
environmental concerns should be at the top
of its agenda,
large amounts of waste being removed from
site,
Approximately around 85% of which goes to
landfill.
companies are expected to pay attention into
corporate social responsibility.
20. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Poor quality construction work
Working in a non productive manner will
inevitably make the industry non profitable,
Less competitive both nationally and
internationally.
Work interrupted whilst materials are brought
from elsewhere on site.
This will cause disruption on site.
As a result this will delay work.
21. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Activities will finish later than scheduled
time.
Puts the entire project duration time
behind by weeks.
Work delayed whilst products are
delivered.
An adverse effect on quality.
Making products on site is also less likely
to provide the same quality of product that
could be manufactured off site.
22. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Increased project time
Most of the problems on site point to poor
logistics.
This will add to the time of construction
projects.
Delays whilst product is unloaded.
Subsequent movement of products
around site for use.
Also, secondary working of product all add
unnecessary time.
23. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Added risks to health and safety
unnecessary work bring with it unnecessary
waste,
waste stored on site inevitably bring with them
additional potential hazards,
additional manual handling will produce more
waste,
most of the back injuries are as result of
handling heavy materials on site.
product is in the wrong part of the site,
24. Construction Productivity-Logistics
the right equipment is not available,
adds to the health risks to those on site,
secondary working of material also brings
risks,
Research has shown that a number of
accidents on site occur as a result of
workers tripping over discarded material.
Often arising from secondary working.
25. Construction Productivity-Logistics
What are the potential benefits from
improving Logistics?
There is a widespread belief that substantial
savings are achievable.
Estimates range from those who believe costs
could be reduced by 10%.
Others argue that savings of up to 30% can
be achieved.
Another potential benefits from improving
Logistics is an improvement on site safety.
26. Construction Productivity-Logistics
well documented case study is the Mid –
City Place development in Central
London.
A strategy was developed to reduce
issues such as:
multi-handling,
repeated moving of materials,
accidents on site,
waste reduction,
hazard free site,
27. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Improved logistics often lead to:
some 25% to 35% less material waste than
benchmark sites,
distribution of material with less pair of hoists,
almost 100% performance in materials being
distributed in the right time and place.
the idea of JIT
lean construction,
quality management,
quality control,
28. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Logistics had contributed to a project/case
study being completed 11 weeks ahead
of the planned programme.
With a build rate 60% ahead of the
industry benchmark.
Building cost 80% of industry benchmark.
Also, 675,000 hours worked without a
single reported accident.
29. Construction Productivity-Logistics
Another case study undertaken as part
of the CITB Construction Skills
research.
Called ‘Accelerating change through
Supply Chain Management’.
Programme was developed for
delivering 10,000 kitchens to a housing
refurbishment programme.
30. Construction Productivity-Logistics
It was based on a ‘just in time’ basis,
This resulted in a considerable reduction
of:
Waste on site,
Storage,
double handling of materials,
Also, without a single reported accident.
31. Construction Productivity-Logistics
All those involved saw the considerable
benefit arising from JIT.
Measuring these benefits on construction site
has proved to be more difficult then it was
anticipated.
This is because of the attitudes of ‘business
as normal’.
Finally, improvements that have been
achieved are compared with bench mark.
