Approaches for integrating functional plans with business plans are also outlined.
The document discusses human rights and fundamental rights in the Indian constitution. It outlines several key rights:
1. The right to equality, which includes equal protection under the law, social equality, and equality of opportunity.
2. The right to freedom, which includes freedom of speech, assembly, association, movement, residence, and profession.
3. The right to life and personal liberty, which includes protection from unlawful arrest and exploitation.
It also discusses the rights to freedom of religion, education, and constitutional remedies for violations of fundamental rights. The constitution aims to protect individual rights and establish a just, democratic and secular society.
This document discusses employee discipline and misconduct in organizations. It defines discipline as expected workplace behavior and distinguishes between expressed and implied terms of conduct. Minor misconduct includes tardiness and absenteeism, while major misconduct comprises insubordination, theft, and assault. The disciplinary procedure involves preliminary investigation, issuing charge sheets, domestic inquiry, and determining punishment which can be warnings, fines, suspension or termination depending on the severity of the offense. Positive discipline aims to educate employees and obtain consent for policies, while constructive discipline progressively corrects misbehavior through counseling and warnings before imposing penalties.
To implement an effective security plan, a facility manager needs 1) a comprehensive security plan, 2) a facility that meets all building codes, 3) appropriate security technology, 4) sufficient and properly trained staff. The plan should include crowd management strategies like fan education and alcohol policies to prevent problems. It should also address other safety concerns like workplace violence, terrorism, computer crimes, theft, and fraud. The security plan should examine threats and have emergency procedures to keep the facility safe for all occupants.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Materials management is a vital function for improving productivity in construction
projects.
• The management of materials should be considered at all the phases of the construction
process and throughout the construction and production periods.
• This is because poor materials management can often affect the overall construction time,
quality and budget.
• It is important for planning and controlling of materials to ensure that the right quality
and quantity of materials and installed equipment are appropriately specified in a timely
manner, obtained at a reasonable cost, and are available when needed.
3. Definition of Construction Material Management:
Material management is defined as planning, identification, procuring, storage,
receiving and distribution of materials. The purpose of material management is to
assure that the right materials are in the right place, in the right quantise when needed.
The responsibility of material management department for the flow of materials from
the time the materials are ordered, received, and stored until they are used in the basis
of material management.
4. Aim of Material Management
To get
1. The Right quality
2. Right quantity of supplies
3. At the Right time
4. At the Right place
5. For the Right cost
5. Objectives and Functions of Materials Management
Primary objectives can be classified as:
• Efficient materials planning
• Buying or Purchasing
• Procuring and receiving
• Storing and inventory control
• Supply and distribution of materials
• Quality assurance
6. Secondary Objectives of Materials Management :
• Efficient production scheduling

Material planning
10. 1. Material Planning
• Materials planning include measuring, ordering and scheduling. It is emphasized
that planning is a very important process to increase the productivity, profit, and
assisting the time to complete the construction projects.
• The productivity of the construction project will be hanged if the material
planning process is not implemented properly.
11. 2. Purchasing
Purchase the materials and have the services from supplier to get the support of operations as the construction
project from production to marketing, sales and logistics. For examples, a detailed material list and co-
ordination of the purchasing and order of material are significant to assuring the material will available on
construction site.
According to Ninad Shah and Manish Dave Purchasing procedure can be described as below:
• Step 1 – Material Indent
• Step 2 – Enquiry to Vendors
• Step 3 – Vendor Comparison
• Step 4 – Vendor Selection and Negotiations
• Step 5 – Purchase Order
• Step 6 – Vendor Evaluation
12. 3.Inventory control department:
The duties of the inventory control department is to decide about the types of
ordering system, fixing the safety stock limits, fixing up the reorder level & maximum /
minimum stock level.
4.Receiving, inspection and despatching department
The responsibility of Receiving, inspection and despatching department is to
receive the materials when delivered by the suppliers. After receiving it, the quantity and
quality must be checked. Production parts and materials are checked against blueprints
and specifications. Non-production items are also reviewed. When once it is as per the
specifications given, the goods will be accepted
13. 5. The Value Analysis and Standardization
The Value Analysis and Standardization offer greatest scope, in reducing the
materials cost. It also reduce the number of varieties and also helps in finding the
substitute for the materials at lesser cost.
6. Logistics
Logistics is a concept that stresses movement of the materials and it involve
planning, implementing, and controlling the movement and storage of all things from
raw materials to the finished f the product to meet client requirements. During
construction project, routing of the materials will affect the cost and time to complete
the construction projects.
14. 7. Disposal of Scrap and Surplus, Material Preservation
• Stock control can categorize as a technique planned to be the cover and to ensure all materials or
equipment are available when needed.
• Stock control include raw materials, processed materials, assembly components, consumable stores,
general stores, maintenance materials and spares, work in progress and finished products.
• It is very important as the construction materials were delivery as requested and with the progression by
the proper management of stock control.
• At the same time, construction activities will generate big amount of the waste and it will cause difficulty
to the construction industry.
• However, with the planning of the material management which is effective will help to reduce the waste
of material and increase the profit of the companies.
15. Problems of Material Management
1. Organization Structure
The coordination and communication between estimating department, research and development department,
purchasing department, and plant and machineries department should be maintained at highest level
Main issues in organisation structure:
• Undefined scope
• Lack of communication between parties involved
• Incomplete drawings Plans are not completed and details are missing
• Lack of conformance to requirements
• Nonstandard specifications that are not commonly used
• Incomplete / ineffective meetings
• Difference between plans and specifications
• Don’t communicate exactly
16. 2. Procurement problem
• Availability of material
• Availability of quantity
• Price reduction to match competitor’s price
• Late deliveries Materials are not delivered as per schedule
• Late or incorrect submittals
• Poor communication between parties
• Lack of conformance to requirements
• Unrealistic delivery dates
• Re handling of materials
• Storage areas are limited or are far from working area
• Theft or damaging during handling or other conditions
17. 3. Storage Space
• Large number of materials is required depending on the magnitude of the project.
• And the term storage space implies both enclosed and open space that can be used to keep materials
of work safe until the need for it arise.
• All materials need protection against many threats such as pilferage, theft, damage or loss. Material
such as aggregates, bricks/blocks may not require enclosed storage protection than proper outdoor
positioning and stacking. However, other materials such as reinforcement bars, steel columns, timber,
and galvanized steel for trusses must be protected against contact with water in order to avoid
rust/corrosion.
• The size of proposed building may occupy 60% of the total project site, enabling the remaining 40%
to be used for temporary access and site facilities. In such case, the planners must arrange for periodic
delivery of certain materials to avoid cluttering the space, and maintain constant operation to keep the
18. 4. Security Problem
Security of materials onsite is of paramount importance. Gradual pilferage
and theft are issues of concern to the project managers. Loss of materials
through pilferage and theft represent financial lost to the project as a whole,
and in the end it increases the cost of the project. Materials are prone to be
stolen despite being in store. And some materials as earlier mentioned may
not require indoor storage. Therefore, a well designated vigilante must be
maintained 24 hours onsite.
19. 5. Availability of Materials on Market
• Steady flow of materials throughout project duration is among the primary
function of material management. However, this can be affected by market
availability of the material of work.
• Occasionally manufacturers can run out of raw material or be affected by
government policy to the extent that production may have to be slow or
suspended. Unavailability of materials of work on market can affect
material management by either increasing competition in material purchase
or delay the general work progress.
20. Importance of Materials Management
• Lower prices for material and equipment.
• Faster inventory turnover.
• Continuity of supply
• Reduced lead time
• Reduced transportation cost.
• Less duplication of efforts.
• Elimination of bulk- passing.
• Reduced materials obsolescence.
• Improved supplier relationship and better records and information.
• Better inter-department cooperation & Personnel development
21. Advantages of Materials Management
• The better accountability part of the material, as well as other departments and no
one can blame others.
• As materials management by a single authority, which can lead to better
coordination, because it became the central point of any substance-related
problems.
• Materials management departments to ensure a better quality materials provide a
request in a timely fashion department. This can lead to a better performance of
the organization.
22. • A materials management system is usually controlled through a system, therefore,
can help decision-making related to the material in the organization.
• An indirect use of materials management is the development of good quality
material, ethical and moral standards in an organization.
• Maximum company profit and Improvement of credibility
• Improved customer service
• Enhancement of communication
• Improved quality of staff
23. Inventory Control for Quantitative Analysis
Definition:
Inventory control can be defined as, “which ensures the supply of
required quantity and quality of inventory at the required time and at the
same time prevent unnecessary investment in inventories”
24. Objectives of Inventory Control
• To ensure that the supply of raw material & finished goods will remain continuous
so that production process is not halted and demands of customers are duly met.
• To minimise carrying cost of inventory.
• To keep investment in inventory at optimum level.
• To reduce the losses of theft, obsolescence & wastage etc.
• To make arrangement for sale of slow moving items.
• To minimise inventory ordering cost.
25. Main Techniques in Inventory Control
The Pareto principle states that 80% of the overall consumption value is
based on only 20% of total items. In other words, demand is not evenly
distributed between items: top sellers vastly outperform the rest. The
ABC approach states that, when reviewing inventory, a company should
rate items from A to C, basing its ratings on the following rules:
26. 1.ABC Analysis
The ABC (Always Better Control) inventory control technique is based on the
principle that a small portion of the items may typically represent the bulk of money
value of the total inventory in construction process, while a relatively large number
of items may from a small part of the money value of stores. The money value is
ascertained by multiplying the quantity of material of each item by its unit price.
27. Procedure for ABC Analysis
• Make the list of all items of inventory.
• Determine the annual volume of usage & money value of each item.
• Multiply each item’s annual volume by its rupee value.
• Compute each item’s percentage of the total inventory in terms of annual usage in rupees
• “A” Category – 5% to 10% of the items represent 70% to 75% of the money value.
• “B” Category – 15% to 20% of the items represent 15% to 20% of the money.
• “C” Category – The remaining number of the items represent 5% to 10% of the money value.
• The relative position of these items show that items of category A should be under the maximum
control, items of category B may not be given that much attention and item C may be under a loose
control.
28. EOQ analysis
The EOQ refers to the order size that will result in the lowest total of ordering and
carrying costs for an item of inventory. If a firm place unnecessary orders it will
incur unneeded order costs. If a firm places too few order, it must maintain large
stocks of goods and will have excessive carrying cost.
29. Technologies in construction Material Management
The tools used in the construction industry change constantly with the
continuous changes of technology. Researchers are finding ways to
apply those changes in technology to construction in order to improve
production and lower the cost of the operations.
• Bar Codes Applications to Material Management
• RFID-Radio Frequency Identification
30. 1.Bar Codes Applications to Material Management
Bar code applications in construction are mostly intended to provide accuracy in data
collection, to improve productivity and to save time in the data collection process.
• Typically, bar codes are used for materials and inventory management.
The scope of bar codes extends beyond materials management.
• Bar codes provide the advantage of relatively error free data collection, which
improves productivity and avoid errors.
• Some construction firms that use bar codes claim that it saves time, money and
labor while improving the accuracy of inventory.
31. The major applications of bar code to material management identified in
previous research can be identified as follow
• Field material control
• Warehouse maintenance and control
• Inventory control applications and tool and consumable material issue
• Purchasing and accounting
32. 2. RFID-Radio Frequency Identification
A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is an automated data collection system similar to
bar code. RFID applications in construction are mostly intended to provide accuracy in data
collection, to improve productivity and to save time in the data collection process.
An ADC (Automated Data Collection) technology that:
• uses radiofrequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify,
categorize,track..
• Is fast and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item.
• Performs the operation using low cost components.
• Attempts to provide unique identification and backend integration that allows for wide range of
applications.
33. How RFID Works:
There are two primary components of an RFID system as shown in Figure The whole RFID
system requires the tags and the reader including an antenna to be operated
34. Details of RFID System Components
RFID Components Details
Tags Tags or transponder are normally located on the object or people
to be identified.
Reader Reader interrogator provides, read and write/read facilities
through a fixed or mobile reader to communicate data to and
from the tags.
Antenna Antenna is the conductive element that enables the tag to send
and receive data
36. Passive RFID Tag
• Generally, passive tags have shorter read ranges of a few inches to 30 feet, but
have a long life than active tags.
• The passive RFID tags consist of a microchip attached to an antenna and can be
packaged in a different way such as mounted on a substrate to create a tag,
sandwiched between an adhesive layer and a paper label to create a printable
RFID label (or smart label), embedded in a plastic card, a key fob, the wall of a
plastic container, and special packaging (to resist heat, cold or harsh cleaning
chemicals)
37. • Do not require power – Draws from Interrogator Field
• Lower storage capacities (few bits to 1 KB)
• Shorter read ranges (4 inches to 15 feet)
• Usually WriteOnceReadMany/ReadOnly tags
38. Active RFID Tags:
• Active RFID tags have their own internal power supply and are rewritable.
• The features of the active tags are much larger and heavier, and more expensive, but have a better
noise protection than passive tags.
• However, they have a shorter battery life of up to 10 years, with read range of 60 feet to 300 feet
(20 metres to 100 metres).
• The example of the active RFID tags can be shown in Figure 5. Active tags are more reliable in
environments such as water (including human/cattle, which are mostly water), metal (shipping
containers, vehicles), or at longer distances for generating strong responses from weak requests.
• They also have larger memories than passive tags and the ability to store additional information
sent by the transceiver
42. Uses of RFID:
RFID had been used for material tracking and material receipt in the construction
industry.
• Material Tracking: Material as the move in the jobsite since direct contact is not
required for data collection. This can avoid theft and lost since managers can
notice when materials are not where they are supposed to be.
• Materials Receipt: Materials can be easily verified as they arrive to the site. The
type of materials received can be known easily and verify if the right quantities
were received.
43. RFID Applications
• Manufacturing and Processing
oInventory and production process monitoring
oWarehouse order fulfilment
• Supply Chain Management
oInventory tracking systems
oLogistics management
• Retail
oInventory control and customer insight
oAuto checkout with reverse logistics
• Security
oAccess control
oCounterfeiting and Theft control/prevention
• Location Tracking
oTraffic movement control and parking management
45. RFID advantages over barcodes
• No line of sight required for reading
• Multiple items can be read with a single scan
• Each tag can carry a lot of data (read/write)
• Individual items identified and not just the category
• Passive tags have a virtually unlimited lifetime
• Active tags can be read from great distances
• Can be combined with barcode technology
46. Conclusion
This paper has presented a review of Construction material management ,Inventory control and employment of
technology in construction projects.
• Good planning of materials management can help to avoid any delays of works on site and reduce any extra
cost for a project.
• It is important to manage all materials and inventory throughout construction activity and processes
