Implementation Of Lean Process Management Through Enhanced Problem Solving Capabilities.
All Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) organizations in Aerospace,
Automotive and Electronics industries had to upgrade their functions. These
organizations including suppliers and solutions providers are duty bound to improve
their functions through strategic initiatives. One such initiative is Lean Process
Management. Lean Process Management has proven to aid organizations in
developing manufacturing and administrative management solutions and make the
organization a leaner at the same time a 'fitter' one, achieving World Class standards
in terms of production, quality, marketing, etc, etc.
The issue or problem is, although a number of authors, experts, researchers have
discussed the lean process management as part organization centric issues, they
failed to provide an effective lean process management system. Besides the need to
formulate an effective lean process as suggested by some authors, another important reason suggested is the employee's development aspect regarding how to unlock the
infinite potential of their workforce. This employee's development is basically the
problem solving capabilities of the employees while implementing the Lean through
clear cutting protocols or processes of Lean Process Management
Spin dynamics and frequency dependence of magnetic damping study in soft ferromagnetic FeTaC film with a stripe domain structure
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and low magnetic damping are the key
factors for the free layer magnetization switching by spin transfer torque
technique in magnetic tunnel junction devices. The magnetization precessional
dynamics in soft ferromagnetic FeTaC thin film with a stripe domain structure
was explored in broad band frequency range by employing micro-strip
ferromagnetic resonance technique. The polar angular variation of resonance
field and linewidth at different frequencies have been analyzed numerically
using Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation by taking into account the total free
energy density of the film. The numerically estimated parameters Land\'{e}
-factor, PMA constant, and effective magnetization are found to be 2.1,
2 erg/cm and 7145 Oe, respectively. The frequency
dependence of Gilbert damping parameter () is evaluated by considering
both intrinsic and extrinsic effects into the total linewidth analysis. The
value of is found to be 0.006 at 10 GHz and it increases with
decreasing precessional frequency.Comment: 5 Pages, 6 Figures, Regular Submissio
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Iron Chelates in Managing Iron Deficiency Chlorosis in Grain Sorghum
Grain sorghum production in alkaline or calcareous soils is frequently affected by iron (Fe) chlorosis. Soil conditions such as high pH, high free calcium carbonate (lime), and low organic matter favor development of iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC), which can delay crop maturity and reduce yields. Two field experiments were conducted in the summer of 2014 to determine the effectiveness of Fe chelate application in alleviating IDC in grain sorghum. Treatments in the first study were four Fe chelate application rates (0, 3, 6, and 9 lb/a) applied either in-furrow with the seed at the time of planting or 2 weeks after planting. A split treatment of 3 lb/a applied at planting and another 3 lb/a applied 2 weeks after planting was included. The second study was a split-plot design with two Fe chelate products as main plots and sorghum hybrids (Golden Acres 5613 and Sorghum Partners hybrid NK5418) as the subplot factor. Results showed IDC scores among the treatments were significant only in the early stages of growth. Severity of IDC tends to decrease throughout the growing season, confirming the ability of sorghum hybrids to grow out of IDC under favorable environmental conditions. Iron chelate application did improve sorghum yield, with the highest yield occurring when Fe chelate was split-applied at 6 lb/a. The two grain sorghum hybrids evaluated differed in their response to IDC and grain yield. GA5613 showed greater tolerance to IDC than NK5418. Application of Fe chelate to GA5613 had no effect on grain yield; however, Fe chelate application significantly improved grain yields in NK5418. Our preliminary findings suggest the first 30 days of growth may be the critical period to control IDC in grain sorghum
Composition dependent properties of mechanically alloyed amorphous Fe-Zr-B powders
We report the preparation of Fe-Zr-B amorphous alloys by mechanical alloying in a planetary ball mill for 100 hours. Structural investigation of the as-milled powders has been carried out using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope techniques. The crystallization behavior of the amorphous powders has been studied using a differential scanning calorimeter. Magnetic properties of the powders have been investigated using a vibrating sample magnetometer. It has been observed that both thermal and magnetic properties of the as-milled alloy powders vary up to a critical boron concentration of 7.5 at.%. The coercivity of the amorphous powders was compared to that of melt spun ribbons. The high coercivity of the as milled alloy powder has been attributed to the effective anisotropy of the as-milled powders
