Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

contractor should be conscious of safety. The reasons for
considering safety include:
7. Introduction
• Humanitarian Concern: When the accident happens, the resulting
suffering of the injured workers and their families is difficult to
quantify in economic terms. The contractor should never ignore if he
has insurance against accidents.
• Economic Reasons: Even if a contractor has insurance, he will find

55. Approaches To Improve Safety
• Recognizing the Importance of safety performance, a contractor can
approach the problem in four different ways:
• Organizational Approach, Physical Approach, Behavioral Approach,
and economic incentives.
56. Approaches To Improve Safety
• Organizational Approach
• A safety programme cannot be successful without an appropriate
organizational setup. A company safety programme should be a part
of the contractor’s business, just as scheduling and cost accounting,
• Safety Department:
• A formal safety department is essential in a company. This
department should be incharge of the safety and jobsite
representatives, recording and analyzing safety and other accident
prevention programmes.
57. Approaches To Improve Safety
• Committee
• A safety committee should be set up to guide the operation of safety
programs. The members of the committee should include all levels of
workers and management to reflect opinions on safety from all levels. It
should review the company’s safety programme periodically.
• Field Procedures
• A system must be designed to process safety suggestions from workers, the
people who carries out the daily construction process, since they are in the
best position to detect any possible accidents. They should be reminded
and encouraged to bring out any unsafe procedure detected in their daily
routine.
59. Approaches To Improve Safety
• Incentives
• Field Management and supervisor should be evaluated for
promotions and salary increases in terms of safety record as well as
productivity and cost.
• Safety Cost
• The cost of accounting system should be adjusted to encouraged
safety by allocating safety costs to company account and allocating
accident costs to project accounts.
60. Physical Approach
• In Physical aspects, a contractor can improve safety performance using following
guidelines:
• New workers should be given a safety orientation.
• For every project the contractor must study in advance the possible accidents
that the proposed construction methods, procedure and equipment may create.
Then an accident prevention plan should be devised to take care of those
accidents.
• The contractor should enforce the use of approved equipment for personal
protection such as hard hats, safety belts, glasses, goggles, gloves, etc.
• The contractor should integrate safety programmes with other programmes,
such as scheduling and budgeting during preplanning procedure. This will help
to identify possible accidents inherent in the work to be done, to suggest
remedial training if necessary, to assure the proper tools and equipment will be
available for the work, and to verify the method selected are safe according to
requirement.
61. Physical Approach
• Periodic checking of tools and equipment if necessary in order to
make sure that they are well maintained.
• Conduct periodic safety meetings, such tool box meetings, to provide
safety education on the job.
• Seek and obtain full cooperation from all subcontractors on the
project.
62. Behavioral Approach
• Studies conducted disclose that more than 80 % of all
accidents result from worker’s unsafe acts, while only 10 %
result from failure of equipment's or improper procedure,
Apparently, this is the most potential for improving safety
performance. Also, the behavior of managers on every level
has significantly influence on workers safety performance
64. Behavioral Approach
• The following guidelines will be found useful:
• Top management, while visiting job sites or meeting in the main
office should talk about safety in the same manner as they talk about
schedules and costs. This will make the subordinates understand that
safety is an important as cost and schedules, so that the importance
of safety will not be ignored.
65. Behavioral Approach
• The Project manager and the superintendents should not place
unnecessary pressure on foeman such as over emphasis on meeting the
estimated budget and schedule. Usually this will make foremen choose
unacceptable method that often lead to higher possibility of accidents.
• Craft foremen are the key persons in behavioral approach as to better
safety, because they q the persons who have daily contact with Workers.
They are also the person in the best position to detect the workers
abnormal behavior,
• The foremen along with project manager and superintendent should try to
create and maintain good relationship between members of crew crafts If
workers have pleasant relationship with each other, they tend to be more
concerned about their co-workers safety.
66. Approaches To Improve Safety
• Economic Incentives
• Owners as well as contractors should always bear in mind and take
into consideration the economic benefits due to safety at the
worksite. If a complete estimate should be taken into account for the
cost of their safety programme as percentage of direct field labour
costs, their estimate would result in some positive return for the
amount spent on safety programme. The contractors should also
reward workers for good safety performance. This creates
perseverance on their part to learn more, know, practice and strive
towards a high level of safety at the job site.
