· But offshore drilling and production did not really develop to be widely viable until after 1947 when the first offshore well was drilled at a location completely out of site of land. Since then, offshore production, particularly in the US Gulf of Mexico, has resulted in the discovery and delivery of a significant contribution to the total US
A production system based on the philosophy of achieving the complete elimination of all waste in pursuit of the most efficient methods. Toyota Motor Corporation's vehicle production system is a way of making things that is sometimes referred to as a "lean manufacturing system," or a "Just-in-Time (JIT) system," and has come to be well known and studied worldwide.

· Production of solid recovered fuel via MBT or MHT gives WDAs the option to sell on their recyclate without committing to develop a dedicated energy from waste scheme. Incineration is the most established waste technology in the UK, treating over 4,000,000 tonnes per year.
· Here are the 12 most important metrics to measure in manufacturing that are essential for a successful business. Manufacturing cycle time. Cycle time is the total time from the beginning to end of a process. In manufacturing, it measures the time taken for a product to pass through all machines, processes and cycles to become a finished product.
JIT Just-in-Time manufacturing. `Just-in-time' is a management philosophy and not a technique. It originally referred to the production of goods to meet customer demand exactly, in time, quality and quantity, whether the `customer' is the final purchaser of the product or another process further along the production line.

Size 115 mm x 102 mm x 136 mm, mounting holes centre to centre 87 mm to 84 mm
Lean is a systematic approach to reduce or eliminate activities that don't add value to the process. It emphasizes removing wasteful steps in a process and taking the only value-added steps. The Lean method ensures high quality and customer satisfaction. It helps in. reducing process cycle time, improving product or service delivery time,
Caustic soda is a traditional cleaning liquid for daily use at the juice packing plant. It is commonly used as a water solution of 0.6-2% concentration. The solution dissolves and removes coatings of organic matter. Caustic soda is also referred to as lye or its chemical name sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

· An approximation is that about 70 per cent of solid waste expenditure is through the public sector, largely local government, while 30 per cent is private sector expenditure (StatsSA 2007). Figure 13.2 provides an estimate employment creation of 113,505 by the total waste sector.

· ADVERTISEMENTS Read this article to learn about types, sources, effects and methods of solid waste management! Solid waste management is a polite term for garbage management. As long as liumans have been living in settled communities, solid waste, or garbage, has been an issue, and modern societies generate far more solid waste than early humans []
· OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a “best practices” metric that identifies the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive. An OEE score of represents perfect production manufacturing only good parts, as fast as possible, with no downtime. OEE is useful as both a benchmark and a baseline As a benchmark it

· Scheduling deals with both time allocations as well resource allocation for production of required quantity. Operations’ planning is done as part of short term planning. High level objective of operation’s planning is to decide the best way of allocation of labor and equipment as to find balance between time and use of limited resources
· This is the velocity or speed of production and is calculated by determining how many items are produced and dividing it by the length of time it took to produce them. It can, of course, be computed from Little’s Law as TH = WIP/CT. CT = cycle time (average time in the system). This is the time it takes to complete the production cycle or the
· Traditionally, lean business processes were centered in the manufacturing sector as a means of controlling cost. This ensures that the production process or it's costs don't have an impact on the forecasted bottom line. But there’s nothing that limits the growing SaaS industry, or any other industry, from taking a lean business approach to developing hyper-effective processes and profitable

· Many people confuse Takt Time, Cycle Time and Lead Time, but you don't have to be one of them! In a nutshell, Takt Time is the time between starting to work on one unit and starting the next. Cycle Time is the average time it takes to finish one unit. Lead Time is the total time it takes from receiving an order to delivering an item.
· General lean principles and tools. Continuous reduction of losses or “lean waste” Lean production focuses on reducing “Muda”, which is interpreted as “losses”, “waste”, “waste of time” (rather than material waste) (Hillenbrand, 2002) or “non-value-adding activities” (Zokaei et al., 2013). A key issue in lean philosophy is involving all staff in continuous improvement, where a number of tools and
· Incineration and other high temperature waste treatment systems are sometimes described as “thermal treatment”. Incinerators convert waste materials into heat, gas, steam and ash. Incineration is carried out both on a small scale by individuals and on a large scale by industry. It is used to dispose of solid, liquid and gaseous waste.
· In Burkina Faso, the World Bank has supported the solid waste sector with over $67 million in loans since 2005, supporting waste sector planning and construction of two landfills.

The JIT concept was so deeply rooted in the assembly line systems of Toyota that they knew exactly how many vehicles of different colours, types and accessories would be assembled in a single day.
· Solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases spread by rodents and insects .
