A New Equipment Effectiveness And Sustainability Performance Model For Palm Oil Mill

The worldwide demands for sustainable palm oil products are in the increasing trend due to rising awareness of the palm oil industry impact on environment.Hence,the urgency to develop a sustainability strategy to overcome these issues is imminent.The objectives of this research are to investigate the current practices and performance of manufacturing sustainability in the Malaysian Palm Oil Mill (POM),identify factors affecting equipment effectiveness in the Malaysian POM,develop a model for equipment effectiveness and sustainability performance, and validate the model using data from the Malaysian POM. The research opted for an exploratory study using the survey instrument on Malaysian POM against the 20 elements of sustainability programs and practices,18 elements of regulatory compliance,32 elements of factors affecting equipment effectiveness,and 36 elements of manufacturing sustainability opportunity from equipment effectiveness.Out of 250 questionnaires randomly sent to 426 registered POM in Malaysia,a total of 55 were completed and returned by the surveyed mills.After screening,51 of those completed with useful information were further analysed,representing 11.97% of the population with a response rate of 20.4%.The research developed a new model for measuring equipment effectiveness and sustainability performance.This model hybrid the concept of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE),equipment reliability and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).In appraising the criticality in terms of sustainability impact of equipment failure occurrence,the model ranks the sustainability performance of the failure mode by using the Sustainability Priority Number (SPN), formulated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach.The performance level of the OEE,reliability and SPN resulting scores translated into a five-point rating system.The model has been tested on a POM as the validation approach to demonstrate the feasibility of the model for equipment effectiveness and sustainability performance analysis.The findings emphasis on the fluctuation in the OEE performance depending on the month,suggest that waiting time,breakdown,and preventive maintenance as the key factors affecting equipment effectiveness.Further,reliability performance of the model exhibits an increasing failure rate indicating that the probability of failure occurrence increases over time for the critical equipment (loading ramp,steriliser, thresher,and boiler).The model determines the performance level of 20 functional failure modes of the critical equipment and the results show that the highest SPN ranking for steriliser,signify as the most critical functional failure mode for sustainability impact in the POM.The model is able to analyse equipment effectiveness and sustainability performance in the POM and provide empirical evidence to support the decision making for POM sustainability.This research can be used as an advantage in POM as well as other organisation from different industries to recognise the opportunities of equipment effectiveness in the efforts to enhance the business profile and corporate reputation,and market growth without disregarding the environmental and social impact

WEBCAM MOTION DETECTION USINGVISUAL BASIC

Watch Eyes Motion Detection System is aproject used to enhance student's interest in multimedia system development, but at the same time the project can be used as motion detection system that will help any person in doing research in motion detection purposes. This system is able to be upgraded to be amonitoring system for security purposes. The project adds the number of motion detection collection programs that available in the market. Motion detection helps a lot in daily activities that involve security and good monitoring system. Studies have shown that motion detection helps in improvement of the security system and especially in doing aresearch about motion. But it is not the main focus in this project because it focuses more on how motion detection works. Watch Eyes is developed using skin tones algqrithm which is use in the system to detect the skin tones that present in the captured image. The main focus of the system is to ensure that the motion can be detected only using the skin tones. Combination of several related algorithms helps in developing the skin tones algorithm. Many researches have been carried out to identify the needs ofthe system to make it works as expected. The development of this system dope in stages, determined by the planning processes which follow the Water-Spiral model. Early analysis of the existing motion detection system falls under the earlier stage which include information gathering. Through the development of such system, it is hoped that it will help to increase student interest in computer vision that involve multimedia development and as well as to individual who interest in doing motion detection research
