Engage Blue Collar Employee for better productivityipuneetg
This document discusses the importance of understanding a company's workforce through periodic tracking studies. It proposes conducting a study to better understand employee attitudes, behaviors, and satisfaction levels in order to address labor problems. The study would identify areas needing improvement and monitor changes over time. This is important because labor shortages are causing unrest, safety issues, and lost productivity. Without independent data on employee perceptions, management relies on assumptions and biased information, missing early warning signs. A systematic study providing structured data on the workforce can help engage employees, reduce unrest, ensure safety, and increase productivity and profits.

A Pragmatic Approach to
Lifecycle Analysis
Formal lifecycle analysis is not new; in fact, lifecycle analysis tools andtechniques have been around in various forms for decades. What is newis an urgent need to improve the tools and expand the use of lifecycle
analysis to a broader spectrum of products and services.
We’re going to use a pragmatic approach to lifecycle analysis that keeps
the focus on the main goals: understanding the overall impact and making
improvements. The truth is that you don’t always need to measure every-
thing; you don’t always need precise data; you don’t always need complete
information. You just need to know what to measure, when, and how—and
where to place your priorities.
To get started we’ll need a model of the product/service lifecycle that we
can use to organize our work. So, let’s take a closer look at the phases of a
typical lifecycle and the key considerations at each phase.
A Basic Lifecycle Model
Every product is different; every lifecycle has unique time frames and char-
acteristics. As a result, many different lifecycle models have been produced
over time. For this book, we use a basic three-stage model. We prefer this
model because it is straightforward and matches most people’s personal expe-
rience with the lifecycle stages of common products. The three stages of our
model are
• “Make,” which covers everything that happens before a product is
actually put into operation—including the materials and chemicals
45
that are used to create it, the processes involved in assembling and
manufacturing it, the packaging that encases it, and the supply chain
that distributes it
• “Use,” which includes the power the product consumes as it is
operated, the greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions it creates,
the water it uses, and the noise, light, and heat it generates during
operation
• “Renew,” which covers everything that happens after the product is
used, including the demanufacture or disassembly of the product,
reuse of key components, recycling, and take-back
At each stage of the lifecycle we focus on three primary aspects of the
environmental impact of a product or service:
• Energy and emissions, including the calculation of energy and
power, finding the cleanest source of energy for your product, using
energy efficiently, calculating GHG emissions and CO2 conversion,
and so on
• Chemicals, materials, and waste, including the legal and business
considerations of hazardous and toxic substances, packaging and doc-
umentation, waste disposal, recycling, take-back, and process-related
GHG emissions
• Water and other natural resources that are embodied in the product
or service, including social and business considerations of using
scarce or nonrenewable materials, calculating the water footprint, and
so forth
Additional Lifecycle Considerations
Our three-phase model is intentionally simplistic. So, before we discuss
each aspect of the lifecycle in more detail, we’d like to offer a few notes.
How can Digital Twins support Manufacturers on the path to Net-Zero?IES VE
Presentation by Adam Goves and Laurie McKelvie from IES, hosted by the Food & Drink Federation. This webinar demonstrated how the sector can fully exploit this technology to unlock energy and cost savings across their facilities and map their pathway to net-zero.
This technical report explores intrapreneurship in an information systems service organization from the perspective of employees. It provides an overview of entrepreneurship theory and considers how this relates to intrapreneurship and information entrepreneurship. The report describes a survey of employees at an information systems service company to understand their perceptions of the organization's support for identifying and exploiting new opportunities. The findings show that while the company supports some entrepreneurial behaviors, employees overall feel the company does not support such behaviors. Recommendations are provided to improve the company's entrepreneurial profile.
Operations Management and TQM is a 3-unit course that explores operations management in manufacturing and service environments. Topics covered include cost accounting, quality management, project management, and materials management. The course is designed to teach students how to apply these concepts to real-world operations. Evaluation includes quizzes, assignments, class participation, and a midterm/final exam. The syllabus also outlines grading policies and expectations for lesson content which will introduce key operations management topics.
There is a historic parallel for the current limited success of business process advancement. The first wide-scale introductions of IT in the business place focused on the improvement of isolated parts of business operations, for example the generation of invoices. Productivity increased locally, but generally the overall effect was small. Only during the 80s and 90s, companies started to see the benefits of considering entire business processes when implementing information systems, and as a result, huge gains were achieved.
Today, it seems, companies are at the start of this same loop again. Once again, the view on the entire process is missing, which prevents the new technology to become truly effective.
This paper puts the emphasis on the Business Process Reengineering. It addresses guidelines to redesign business processes. The purpose of the redesign is to meet business partners' expectations, while improving the performance of the redesign. The specific business area under consideration is the Attendance Management of the Jinasena Group of Company. We will present some support for this redesign in this paper.
The structure of this paper is as follows. First, in Section 2 and 3, we take a brief introduction to the company. In Section 4, we present our analysis of identifying a critical process to be re-engineered. And also the importance of the redesign will be stated clearly. Section 5 is pretty much important as it explains problems in current process, opportunities and issues of redesigning the process.
Section 6 to 9 state the modeling of the current process, modeling of the re-engineered process and the way new design will interact with customers. There onwards this paper discusses the potential changes to the Organizational Structure, Job Skills/Reward systems, Information Technologies and Organization culture, values and beliefs.

- PLCs were developed in the 1960s to replace relay control systems and reduce costs for automakers. They allow flexible control without rewiring.
- PLCs have a CPU that runs a user program to monitor inputs and control outputs based on logic. Ladder logic is a common programming method that resembles electrical diagrams.
- The document discusses PLC components, architecture, programming methods like ladder logic, common instructions, timers, counters and their applications in automation. It also provides an introduction to supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
This document discusses barriers that have prevented small businesses from engaging in sustainable business practices and opportunities for them through IoT technologies. Some key barriers include small businesses being overlooked by environmental groups, regulators, and consultants who focus on large corporations due to scale; and internal inertia within small businesses due to lack of awareness, high perceived costs, and uncertainty around the process. However, IoT solutions can now help small businesses operate more efficiently and sustainably through applications like smart lighting, windows, HVAC, fleet management, and water conservation sensors to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. Resources are also available to help small businesses assess priorities and fund sustainability initiatives.

Introduction to lean six sigma. Principles of Lean Six Sigma presented through case studies illustrating how top companies use this approach to improve processes and gain competitive advantage. This is chapter one from a new book that will be available soon. Contact us at info@evidek.com for more information.
The document provides an overview of the electronics industry, including its various subsegments and key trends. It notes that electronics manufacturers are facing increasing customer demands, global supply chains, and pressure to reduce costs and time to market. They are responding by better understanding customer needs, collaborating with partners, and evaluating outsourcing options to drive efficiencies. The microelectronics segment in particular is driven by Moore's Law and faces challenges around integrated product development and supply chain management.
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Unfortunately, electronic discards are one of the fastest growing segments of our nation's waste stream. Electronic wastes, "e-waste", "e-scrap", or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded electrical or electronic devices. Technically, electronic "waste" is the component which is dumped or disposed or discarded rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations.
A range of techniques is currently applied for retrieving components and materials from WEEE. The essential features of these systems generally conform to a scheme of: sorting/disassembly; size reduction; separation.

1. Individual Project:
The final project will be due on November 22th, before the Thanksgiving break on Blackboard.
You have to choose one among the following types of CMBS securities:
• Sequential Pay with three tranches
• Sequential Pay with three tranches with a Z-bond
• Floater / Inverse Floater
• PAC + Support Tranche
• TAC + Support Tranche
After that, build an excel model that will compute cash flows towards each tranche. The model will feature the following:
a) Customizable inputs for the following:
• Initial principal in each tranche (summing to total principal on the underlying mortgages)
• Maturity of the underlying loans in months
• Interest rate of the underlying loans
• Interest rate to investors in each tranche
• Servicing fee paid by the investors (same for each tranche)
• Prepayment assumption (PSA or constant CPR)
• Current market rate
b) User will input all the criteria in a) and be able to see the following update automatically:
• Amortization table for the underlying pool (initial principle, scheduled payments, prepayments, scheduled principal, interest)
• Servicing fee of each tranche
• Cash flow of each tranche
• Investor valuation for the security
c) An additional tab should include the following, fully annotated graphs (title + labeled axis)
• Initial principal of each tranche over time
• Total payments to each tranche
The grades will be awarded based on the following criteria:
· Accuracy: the spreadsheet should compute accurate cash flows for any inputs of the parameters above. The spreadsheets must necessarily be dynamic.
· User-Friendliness: it should be obvious where one should enter the parameters above and where to look for cash flows towards each tranche. Clearly state what type of security you chose.
Note: This is an individual project and intended for you to learn how to build a spreadsheet yourself from scratch. The use of a pre-made template or collaboration of any kind is strictly prohibited. It would be treated as plagiarism and duly measures would be taken against that.
Excel Functions That Might be Useful:
I. ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, AND DIVISION LOGIC
II. SUM() AND AVERAGE() FUNCTIONS
III. TRUE AND FALSE LOGIC
IV. IF() FUNCTION
V. AND() & OR() FUNCTIONS
VI. MAX() AND MIN() FUNCTIONS
VII. COUNTIF() AND COUNTA() FUNCTIONS
VIII. IRR() AND NPV() FUNCTIONS
Additional Excel Features:
1. DATA VALIDATION: Data Validation restricts the type of data or the values that users enter into a cell. So for instance, with Data Validation you can limit inputs in a given cell to a specific type of value (e.g. whole numbers only). You can also restrict inputs to only predetermined values (e.g. a drop-down menu with a specific list).
2. CONDITIONAL FORMATTING: Conditional Formatting allows you to create a custom look for certain cells (or the entire model) based on user inputs.
3. DATA TABLE: The Data table feature is a feature in Excel t ...

Introduction to lean six sigma. Principles of Lean Six Sigma presented through case studies illustrating how top companies use this approach to improve processes and gain competitive advantage. This is chapter one from a new book that will be available soon. Contact us at info@evidek.com for more information.
The document provides an overview of the electronics industry, including its various subsegments and key trends. It notes that electronics manufacturers are facing increasing customer demands, global supply chains, and pressure to reduce costs and time to market. They are responding by better understanding customer needs, collaborating with partners, and evaluating outsourcing options to drive efficiencies. The microelectronics segment in particular is driven by Moore's Law and faces challenges around integrated product development and supply chain management.
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Unfortunately, electronic discards are one of the fastest growing segments of our nation's waste stream. Electronic wastes, "e-waste", "e-scrap", or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded electrical or electronic devices. Technically, electronic "waste" is the component which is dumped or disposed or discarded rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations.
A range of techniques is currently applied for retrieving components and materials from WEEE. The essential features of these systems generally conform to a scheme of: sorting/disassembly; size reduction; separation.

1. Individual Project:
The final project will be due on November 22th, before the Thanksgiving break on Blackboard.
You have to choose one among the following types of CMBS securities:
• Sequential Pay with three tranches
• Sequential Pay with three tranches with a Z-bond
• Floater / Inverse Floater
• PAC + Support Tranche
• TAC + Support Tranche
After that, build an excel model that will compute cash flows towards each tranche. The model will feature the following:
a) Customizable inputs for the following:
• Initial principal in each tranche (summing to total principal on the underlying mortgages)
• Maturity of the underlying loans in months
• Interest rate of the underlying loans
• Interest rate to investors in each tranche
• Servicing fee paid by the investors (same for each tranche)
• Prepayment assumption (PSA or constant CPR)
• Current market rate
b) User will input all the criteria in a) and be able to see the following update automatically:
• Amortization table for the underlying pool (initial principle, scheduled payments, prepayments, scheduled principal, interest)
• Servicing fee of each tranche
• Cash flow of each tranche
• Investor valuation for the security
c) An additional tab should include the following, fully annotated graphs (title + labeled axis)
• Initial principal of each tranche over time
• Total payments to each tranche
The grades will be awarded based on the following criteria:
· Accuracy: the spreadsheet should compute accurate cash flows for any inputs of the parameters above. The spreadsheets must necessarily be dynamic.
· User-Friendliness: it should be obvious where one should enter the parameters above and where to look for cash flows towards each tranche. Clearly state what type of security you chose.
Note: This is an individual project and intended for you to learn how to build a spreadsheet yourself from scratch. The use of a pre-made template or collaboration of any kind is strictly prohibited. It would be treated as plagiarism and duly measures would be taken against that.
Excel Functions That Might be Useful:
I. ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, AND DIVISION LOGIC
II. SUM() AND AVERAGE() FUNCTIONS
III. TRUE AND FALSE LOGIC
IV. IF() FUNCTION
V. AND() & OR() FUNCTIONS
VI. MAX() AND MIN() FUNCTIONS
VII. COUNTIF() AND COUNTA() FUNCTIONS
VIII. IRR() AND NPV() FUNCTIONS
Additional Excel Features:
1. DATA VALIDATION: Data Validation restricts the type of data or the values that users enter into a cell. So for instance, with Data Validation you can limit inputs in a given cell to a specific type of value (e.g. whole numbers only). You can also restrict inputs to only predetermined values (e.g. a drop-down menu with a specific list).
2. CONDITIONAL FORMATTING: Conditional Formatting allows you to create a custom look for certain cells (or the entire model) based on user inputs.

12. 8.0 WHAT IS LEAN?
Lean is a philosophy and a set of management techniques focused on continuous
“eliminating waste” so that every process, task or work action is made “value adding” (the
real output customer pays for!!) as viewed from customer perspective. Lean “waste
elimination” targets the “Eight Wastes” namely:
• Overproduction – Making more than what is needed by customer / market demand
• Over-processing- Doing more to a
product/service (but not perceived
as value by customer or business)
• Waiting – For material, information,
people, equipment, procedures,
approvals and more
• Transportation – Movement of
products / items during or after
production
• Defects – Errors, mistakes, non-
complying products, services,
documents, transactions
• Rework and Scrap – Products, transactions or outputs not meeting specifications and
have to be fixed, redone, rectified, marked down or scrapped / unusable
• Motion – Mainly people, document movement, searching etc.
• Inventory – Buffer stocks or resources (Raw, Work in process, Finished Goods, Bench
staff etc.,)
• Unused Creativity – People knowledge and skills that are not utilized by the company
Wastes make the organization slow, inefficient and uncompetitive. Lean methods help to
remove / reduce waste and contributes to driving “business agility” (velocity) through
smooth work flow across the organization resulting in rapid fulfilment of customer needs in
an optimum manner.(ExampleCG)
Lean tools and techniques are designed to eliminate waste, and every organization is
subject to generating waste.
LASSIB Society | Industry Research on Lean and Six Sigma Implementation in Electrical & Electronics Industry
Page | 12
13. Waste in the supply chain
Waste in the technical specifications
Waste in the staff support functions
Waste in the office processing
Waste in the manufacturing processes
Waste equates to dollars lost, opportunities lost, and loss of human motivation. Each of
these three criteria can have a positive and / or negative impact on the organization's
bottom line. And the bottom line can be the difference between profit and loss to an
organization, or the difference between just barely making a marginal profit and becoming a
“cash cow” enterprise.
Waste equates to dollars lost
Every organization has an intrinsic proclivity to generate waste in the way they run their
business. Waste is the difference between the way things are now and the way things could
be if everything were perfect-no errors, troubles, problems or complexities.
The Lean Enterprise process can be simplified by first, “find the waste;” secondly, to “get rid
of the waste;” and thirdly, “prevent its return-forever." The Lean process looks everywhere
for waste and reviews every activity to evaluate whether it adds value from the external
customer’s viewpoint.
Waste equates to opportunities lost
Implementing lean tools and techniques will enable your organization, no matter how large
or small, to meet your customers’ demand for a quality product or service, at the time they
need it, and for a price that is competitive.
A lean system also creates a business and manufacturing process that is agile and efficient,
and that will help your company manage its total costs and provide a fair ROI.
Waste equates to loss of human motivation
For cost management to be successful, everyone in your organization must contribute to
the effort. They must feel a part of the improvement process, and be empowered to commit
time and intellectual resources to the effort.
And because lean systems are customer focused and driven, a lean enterprise’s products
and services are created and delivered in the right amounts, to the right location, at the
right time, and in the right condition.
Did you know that in American offices, an average of 6 weeks per year or 13% of a workday
are wasted simply by searching for items? Taking a workday of 7 hours per day and 232
working days a year, would result in wastage of 211 hours per person per year. Ultimately,
assuming an average hourly rate of $60 per hour per person would result in a total of
$12,600peryear in wasted time per person!

14. These figures are immense and show that many companies can not only increase their
productivity by optimizing their business processes but often also have a high potential of
improving performance in their sites and offices.
Most people excuse their messy sites and offices by saying they don’t have time to clean.
But dealing with the consequences of a chaotic workspace takes far more time than simply
cleaning. If a clean office increases your productivity by only 20%, that can convert into
approximately $40,000 to $50,000 in value over the next 10 years. A clean site and office
also pays off in reduced stress and anguish, not to forget about improved safety.
9.0 CONCLUSION
Lean has been at the forefront of the quality movement in recent years. On the way to get
more and more importance, Lean has conquered many areas by improving the
performance of several processes. Lean thinking gives the potential to refine current
approaches to Electrical & Electronics Industry improvement. In addition to elimination of
waste, it offers benefits by delivering reduced variation. However, in order for this
approach to be successful, it needs strong linkages to strategy, a clear collaborative
framework and a combination of tools for addressing the twin goals of waste and variation
reduction.
The benefits for a company by application of Lean can be manifold. These benefits, for
example, can be increase in customer satisfaction, increase in revenues, reduction in cycle
times and higher flexibility to capitalize on present-day market demands.
