Abstract
In mass production systems, line balancing plays a great role, but this is not easy even if it is a simple straight line. So, in order to
solve these problems Heuristic methods are very much desirable. It is also found that Heuristic methods play a great role in the
formation of metaheuristic methods.Therefore it is very much important to use more efficient heuristic methods. In this research
paper we presents a heuristic method that is based on critical path method for simple assembly line balancing. This research is
mainly concerned with objectives of minimizing the number of workstations, improvement of smoothness index, mean absolute
deviation (MAD) and increasing line efficiency.

The document summarizes the development of a new stock protection system for salmon farms in Tasmania to prevent seal attacks. A Danish company worked with an Australian salmon farmer to develop ultra-strong nets made of Dyneema fiber in a novel design. The key features are an outer seal net suspended above the water and separated from an inner containment net. This creates a safe work environment and has successfully reduced seal predation and costs from over $12 million per year to minimal. The system is being adopted industry-wide due to its effectiveness. Accurate biomass tracking is also discussed as important for farm productivity and profitability.

69. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” THE WORLD OF HELIX SNAILS Consumption The total consumption in 2007 is calculated at:
• 420.000 tons worldwide
• farming was just 63,000 tones (15%)
• the remaining 357,000 tons (of all traded goods) come from collecting snails in nature, in different countries with underdeveloped economies, where this work is possible as well. The global trading of snails in recent years has reached and surpassed the $ 10 billion mark. In 2008, in France alone, there was a deficit of 90,000 tons of snails. Based on the above information, the need is not expected to be met now or in the next 10 years. http://snailbreeding.net/
70. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” Prices
• The control of the wholesale prices of snail at national and international level has been taking place for almost 20 years.
• This control enables us to verify that prices have have sustained an annual increase of 2-3%. The price of snails is determined by a number of factors; large differences in values between batches from the same species can also be seen. First of all, the price takes into account the level of humidity of the negotiated quantity. It is already known that high humidity in a batch of snails is detrimental to the maintenance of the product. http://snailbreeding.net/
71. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” Prices
• Products which are wet and unclean can reduce the price by up to 50%, unlike a product clean and dried to perfection. In 2007 the wholesale price of snails was affected by the international and local economy, as well as by demand and supply.
• Touchstone Snail Technologies Ltd has placed great emphasis on increasing production so as to enable the manufacturer to secure the required income. The international market for snails is mainly in Europe and to a lesser extent, in certain Asian countries. http://snailbreeding.net/
72. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” Prices
• The market prices are not fixed and depend, of course, on the general economic conditions and on supply and demand. Considering the above, the international market prices range from 4 Euros per kilo.
• Touchstone Snail Technologies Ltd adopts various techniques to increase production. At this stage, the objective is to reach production levels an average of 6.5 tons yearly with the producer earning an income of around 26.000 per annum. The price is 4 euro per kilo. http://snailbreeding.net/
73. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” The production in the farm
• The organic breeding cycle created to replace the natural collection has not yet reached the initial innovative goal, which is to completely replace the collection of snails from nature.
• The production from the farm covers, at the moment, only one part of consumption.
• Those who have been in the industry for years should not worry about the recent expansion of interest in snail breeding in countries with a weaker economy and lower production costs. To get to a possible saturation of the market, if ever, watching the steady rise of commodities, many years should pass. http://snailbreeding.net/

• farming was just 63,000 tons (15%)
• the remaining 357,000 tons (of all traded goods) come from collecting snails in nature, in different countries with underdeveloped economies, where this work is now applicable as well. East Asia, starting with Japan, the United States, Arab countries and Russia are turning to this product more and more, either because it is typical of the Mediterranean and Italian cuisine or because they follow consumption trends. http://snailbreeding.net/
79. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” The International Market Of the 420,000 tons of live product, commercial sectors are subdivided to these data:
• approximately 124 000 (29.52%) tons of fresh sold product

• approximately 98 800 (23.46%) tons of canned product The total value of the entire business from production to consumption in 2007 was estimated at about 7 billion dollars. Today, consumption is estimated at $ 10 billion. http://snailbreeding.net/
80. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” Europe Not all countries in Europe are consumers of snails in gastronomy, but some European countries are the main markets for snails in the world.
• France has always been in first place, not in terms of consumption but in industrial products, with the famous name 'ESCARGOT', which is exported around the world.
• The latest figures in 2007 talk about over 160,000 tons of treated products; 60% in closed containers, 35% frozen and only 5% live and fresh. http://snailbreeding.net/

85. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” The management of snail business Factors affecting the production and financial management of the snail plants:
• Mortality of snails bred even before mating, which happens during the difficult period of their adjustment to the unit.
• Absence or incomplete mating and subsequent sterilization of snails (10 - 15%).
• Mating once instead of 2 or 3.
• Reduction in the lower number of eggs that may be in some cases only twenty or so (5%). http://snailbreeding.net/
86. Breeding Snails “New Business activity” The management of snail business
• Disturbed egg deposition out of the nest, under the sun, on soil which is too wet or too hard (5%).
• Cannibalism of eggs: some snails born prematurely compared to others, feed on the eggs that are next to them.
• Mortality of newborn and parasitic forms of snails (1%).
• Natural mortality or parasitic forms during their development (10%).
• Normal and climate problems are not controlled, such as a steep angle, cold, violent hail and flooding. http://snailbreeding.net/
87. • From the first 12 months in about 1000m2 of land is necessary for the integrated biological cycle of snail breeding, and provided that all the procedures are followed, an average of 6500 kg may be produced.
• The results are not and cannot be even and steady. They differ from region to region, even in farms that are using the same management techniques and the same feeding methods. The location, the climatic conditions, the diet and the condition of the farm are some of the reasons that affect the production of snails.
• From the first 12 months of breeding, the unit must reach its full operational capability. Snails are most adapted to the area, the mortality has fallen, and the first snails have matured and can be sold. Snails are now sorted among the best we have been breeding in the farm.

This is Yiorgos. Touchstone Snails built for me a snail farming
business of 1000m2. Today, I can pass to my children a business that can increase their revenue....
This is Yiannos. I had a family to sustain but I was laid off because of the recent economic crisis. I was on cloud nine when my snailery turned 1 year old. For the first time I sold my entire snail output to Touchstone Snails and got my first check!... http://snailbreeding.net/

I’m Katerina from Corfu, Greece. In 2010 I was laid off. Despite searching for opportunities everywhere, I couldn’t land a decent job.
The very few options I came across were discouraging; minimum wage, no health insurance, slave-like conditions and no reassurance whatsoever that my job was guaranteed. This dismal situation was of course disheartening but I wouldn’t let myself give up so easily. I promised to myself; I won’t be made into a slave. My moral cannot be broken, I’ll find a way!
So I started looking through my options to see what I could do to decently survive during those times of financial crisis and uncertainty with the little savings I had.
After thoroughly researching snail farming on the Internet, I learnt all I could about it. I’ve learnt how Touchstone Snails offers a robust business opportunity and needless to say, I was excited. However, I didn’t want to rush into it, I talked with many entrepreneurs who already were in collaboration with Touchstone Snails and their feedback was positive and reassuring. Everyone was emphasizing how profitable such a business opportunity actually is. So, I decided to go for it.
Today, I’m the proud owner of a snail farm. Touchstone Snails provides me with its integrated and complete expertise, supporting and guiding me every step along the way. Finally, I can kiss goodbye unemployment and professional frustrations, looking confidently towards a better tomorrow, for a future that’s hopeful and promising!
