Web-based material requisition system in the supply chain of construction bus...IJECEIAES
In the construction project delivery process, the supply chain of construction businesses can only be efficient and effective based on the prompt availability of building materials. Whereas, the process of requisition for the materials on the construction site, if not handled appropriately, can adversely affect construction performance. Therefore, the study was aimed at developing a web-based material requisition system (W-BMRS) that will make the supply chain on construction sites seamless and more effective. A use case and an activity block diagram provided an understanding of the users and functionalities of the material requisition platform. In addition, using a different user interface and a database system including a programming language to connect them, the study developed a web-based material requisition system for construction firms using the model view controller (MVC) model. The MVC model comprised of using MySQL, HTML, and PHP. The W-BMRS was tested by sending materials requisition through the supply chain of a construction firm. The results were presented via screenshots of the web-based platform. In conclusion, any construction firm can register on the platform and make use of the web-based materials requisition system to maximize productivity and optimize the use of ICT in their materials’ supply chain process.

Assesing the various problems facing in arranging appropirate labour and qual...eSAT Journals
Abstract
A big major, continental concern in construction industry is arranging the labour and quality materials accordingly. The organizations which don’t recognize the upcoming problems due to mismanagement of labour and material works have justifiably been forced out of the mainstream of construction activity. A good project management is needed to drastically reduce the problems facing in labour and material works, which intern increases the chances of success. This paper concentrates on assessing the various problems facing in arranging appropriate labour and quality materials for high rise building works. The objective of the project is to study and analyze the various factors that affect labour and material works and to provide an effective flowchart with remedial measures which helps to reduce the problems arising from labour and quality material works in the construction industry. A set of questionnaires about labour and quality material works has been prepared, categorized into 7 sections and then distributed it to various companies and then analyzed. The analyzed and ranked data has been used to prepare remedial measures and a flowchart for adoption in construction industry.

The building construction industry faces challenges, such as increasing project complexity and scope requirements, but shorter deadlines. Additionally, economic uncertainty and rising business competition with a subsequent decrease in profit margins for the industry demands the development of new approaches to construction management. However, the building construction sector relies on practices based on intuition and experience, overlooking the dynamics of its production system. Furthermore, researchers maintain that the construction industry has no history of the application of mathematical approaches to model and manage production. Much work has been carried out on how manufacturing practices apply to construction projects, mostly lean principles. Nevertheless, there has been little research to understand the fundamental mechanisms of production in construction. This study develops an in-depth literature review to examine the existing knowledge about production models and their characteristics in order to establish a foundation for dynamic production systems management in construction. As a result, a theoretical framework is proposed, which will be instrumental in the future development of mathematical production models aimed at predicting the performance and behaviour of dynamic project-based systems in construction.
“Prediction of industrial solid waste with anfis model and its comparison wit...Manoj Kumar Tiwari
This paper is an attempt to estimate the quantity of Industrial solid waste (ISW) that can be generated in the Durg-Bhilai Twin city (DBTC), C.G, India from 2010 to 2026. The prediction of Industrial solid waste generation plays an important role in solid waste management. Yet achieving the anticipated prediction accuracy with regard to the generation trends facing many fast growing regions is quite challenging. In addition to the population growth and migration, underlying economic development, household size, employment changes, and the impact of waste recycling would influences the solid waste generation interactively. The development of a reliable model for predicting the aggregate impact of economic trends, population changes, and recycling impact on solid waste generation would be a useful advance in the practice of solid waste management [7]. The four input variables considered in the ANFIS model to predict ISW in the study area are Population of Durg-Bhilai Twin City (DBTC), ISW generated at DBTC, Percentage of urban population of the nation and GDP per capita of the nation. ANFIS is used in function approximation, time series prediction, and control [1] [2] [4]. In the absence of the adequate past data on waste generation rates, it is extremely difficult to decide upon the methodology to make any kind of prediction for the future. Hardly any primary survey studies have been made in the study area, which indicates the actual waste quantum generated. As a result, except for data points from 1961 to 2001 population based on census , Industrial solid waste generated at DBTC from 1961 to 2001 and 2009 based on the data collected from the DBTC. The estimates of waste quantum for period from 2010 to 2026,shows that if the growth of industrialization and growth of percentage increase in per capita waste generation, are considered as per the nation projections, the ISW in the study area can be expected by ANFIS model using MAT Lab Version 7.8.0.347 as around 88,980 MT per year in DBTC by 2026. Due to the important role of Waste Generation (WG) prediction in ISWMS, a proper model was developed using ANN and ANFIS models [24][26] [30]. In this study, first WG in DBTC was predicted using ANN and ANFIS models; also uncertainty analysis was used to determine the uncertainty of two hybrid models.

Barriers to Implement Lean Principles in the Indian Construction IndustryAM Publications
Lean construction emerged from attempts of transferring and applying the Japanese Lean production
philosophy to the construction industry. Lean construction is a confluence of ideas including continuous
improvement, flattened organization structure, efficient usage of resources, elimination of waste, and cooperative
supply chain. Based on the success of Lean Production in manufacturing and the development of Lean Construction
in countries such as Brazil, Denmark and the USA, the application of Lean Construction is currently debated in India.
The aim of the study is identification of barriers to successful implementation of lean construction in the Indian
construction sector. The data was collected by questionnaire survey of project managers of building construction
organizations and senior consultants of architectural and project management firms. The data collected was then
analyzed to rank the main barriers and lean principles are suggested to overcome these barriers
Case study has been carried out on maintenance of safety .Various research papers are studied .Maintenance of the plants are important factor in mechanical engineering .

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.
