Implementation of Value Stream Mapping Methodology in Pulley Industry

Nowadays in a competitive market, various industries are facing various problems because of changing scenario in terms of high-quality demand, reduced the cost of production and increased productivity. This thesis attempts to provide a successful solution for these problems through lean manufacturing techniques. Lean manufacturing is the best technique for the elimination of waste from the organization. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the lean manufacturing tools. In VSM processes in an organization are strictly divided into the two groups: Value Adding Processes (VA) and Non Value Adding Processes (NVA). The goal of VSM is to identify waste in terms of nonvalue-added processes. Current State Map (CSM) is drawn to give details about the current position and find various problem areas. Future State Map (FSM) is drawn to show the implementation action plan. In this thesis, a study has been carried out from Maheshwari Power Drive, G.I.D.C., Naroda, Ahmedabad. Three product line of different pulley like 36 8M 45 timing pulley, 22 8M 25 timing pulley, 32 8M 50 timing pulley are analyzed. In this study, first of all, collecting the details from each product line and create a three current state map and then choose any one as per requirement of the improvement. Then create a future state map for the plan of improvement and then apply the proposal within the industry.

Education and Women: Islamic Perspective

The very first word of the Quran that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad was, in fact, “Read”. Prophet Muhammad once stated that “Seeking knowledge is mandatory for all Muslims.” Islam has a very wide focus and it teaches equality. It teaches that men and women are equal before God. It grants women divinely sanctioned inheritance, property, social and educational rights. The attitude of the Qur'an and the early Muslims bear witness to the fact that woman is, at least, as vital to life as man himself, and that she is not inferior to him nor is she one of the lower species. This paper focuses on education of women in Islam and their equality.

Reliability of a New Multicomponent Agility Test for Assessing Agility in Basketball Players: The Basketball Multicomponent Agility Test (BMAT)

Current agility tests assess one or multiple components of agility, including unidirectional, bidirectional, and multidirectional movements, which may or may not include retropulsion and rapid acceleration and deceleration transitions along with performing basketball-specific activities such as jumping, turning around 180o and 360o, along with picking a ball and throwing it when changing direction. Hence, there is a requirement for a test which is specific to a Basketball game and also possesses the intricate movements associated with the game in a single test. Objectives: To develop a new sport-specific agility test for assessing agility in Basketball players and determine its reliability by establishing the interrater and interrater reliability. Materials and methods: In this explorative study 54 male Basketball players were taken with the age group 20±3 years. Subjects having acute injuries of lower limb injuries, disabled sportsmen, peripheral nerve injuries of upper & lower extremities, history of recurrent ankle sprains/ other injuries of lower limbs were excluded. The subjects had to perform the Basketball Multicomponent Agility Test (BMAT) which is a special test that has been designed specifically for Basketball players after an intricate and thorough analysis of the game through various videos of time-motion analysis. The final test hence includes all the components occurring most commonly in the game. Results: The Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) across the trials for the Interrater reliability was .997 and p= < 0.01 with 95% CI. For the Intrarater reliability the ICC across the trials was .946 at 95% CI, with p= <0.01. Conclusion: The BMAT is a reliable assessment tool for sport specific agility assessment in Basketball players. It can be routinely used by sports scientists, strength and conditioning practitioners, for monitoring the training programs for Basketball players.

Development of Modified Digital Beam Forming Algorithm Using Least Minimum Square Algorithm

The demand for increased capacity in wireless communication networks has motivated recent research activities toward wireless systems that exploit the concept of smart antenna and space selectivity. Efficient utilization of limited radio frequency spectrum is only possible to use smart/adaptive antenna system. The smart antenna radiates not only narrow beam towards desired users exploiting signal processing capability but also places null towards interferers, thus optimizing the signal quality and enhancing capacity. The existing algorithm for adaptive beam-forming (LMS (Least Minimum square) and CMA (Constant modulus algorithm)) is having some issues regarding performance. These issues can be resolved and performance can be improved by doing modification in existing LMS algorithm. In this work, a modified digital beam forming algorithm using LMS algorithm is developed. The aim behind developing this algorithm is to improve steady state response, reduce the phase difference between input and output signal and to reduce the error magnitude between input and output signal. The algorithm is modified by computing and combining the antenna response for interferer signal and data signal to the interferer signal and data signal. This response is calculated for both data signal and interferer signal using the distance between the antennas (π/2) and direction angle of signals. We also analyze the performance of Modified (LMS) algorithm for smart antenna systems which very important for smart antenna design. The performance of proposed method is also compared with existing CMA. The performance parameters for comparison are phase response, magnitude response, and error magnitude. MATLAB R2013 has been used as an implementation platform using wireless communication and antenna tool box.

Impact of Distribution Feeder Reconfiguration for Loss Reduction on Bus Voltages – A Perspective

A huge power is dissipated in distribution systems as power losses. The loss reduction and bus voltage improvement are the critical parameters of effective distribution feeder power flow. There are several techniques followed for power loss reduction and voltage profile improvement in distribution systems. Specifically, Distribution Feeder Reconfiguration (DFR) method is employed for the proposed system. The most important criterion of Distribution Feeder Reconfiguration is loss reduction, voltage profile improvement and relieving of the power lines from overloading. The proposed method is tested on a 3-Feeder distribution network and IEEE 33-Bus system. Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization approach is applied to get the optimal switching scheme for feeder reconfiguration. Simulation results from load flow analysis and GA methodology have shown that the implementation of this method leads to a significant enhancement in voltage profile and reduction in the real power loss. Finally, results of system loss reduction and voltage stability enhancement with a brief overview of approached model are revealed in this paper.
