    Economic and general analysis of quality defects and their solutions of pet gourmet bottles
    (2016) Naseer, Zaeem; Ahmed, Waheed; Awais, Muhammad
    Despite abundant evidence that there are some issues regarding bursting of bottles due to some major factors like quality defects before and after manufacturing, but unfortunately there is presently no major study that focuses on the theme. The main aim of the current thesis is to examine the product and the main reason of neck & base crack issue in the final product. This can be done by analyzing the reaction of different sections & plant of the factory. While focusing on the period between 2015 and 2016 the thesis traces the evolution of the neck & base crack issue dating back to 2010. The thesis also shows how the conditions will affect the quality of raw material & final product. In parallel, the thesis explores the quality defects on preforms & bottles after getting manufactured. This was strongly indicated from the 2010 that this problem will increased and definitely will target the market value and sales. To highlights the main reason of problem, humidity was concluded as the main reason for this issue. The central argument of the thesis, therefore, is effect of humidity on preforms & bottles and the after products. The thesis contends that by controlling the humidity we can control this issue of neck & base crack because it mostly occurs during the humid season from June to September. Getting data from all warehouses & by noticing all the parameters suggested by original equipment manufacturer the data was collected to investigate the reason behind this serious issue. Also, help from the technical team of the original equipment manufacturer was taken. The site visits were arranged so that they can have a brief and comprehension visit of the plants and to find out the main reasons behind the fault. After all the investigation and more than 1 year of hard work, they were all able to come to a conclusion that this problem was occurred, more or less, due to the factor of humidity. Finally, this thesis observes that the main problems lies in controlling the environment on all the plants like injection molding plant where preforms are manufactured & blow mold where bottles and final products are being manufactured and also the warehouses where the final product is kept. Moreover, this thesis also observe the wrong parameters used in manufacturing. After all the investigation, completion of action plans and remedies taken the company was able to reduce the defect to 95% expectedly. This could be a big achievement.

    Implementation of RFID technology in live stock management
    (University of Management and Technology, 2016) Azeem, Muhammad
    Since past few year Dairy Industry in Pakistan dramatically grown, Major investors are investing in Dairy Farming and in result Many Corporate Dairy Farms developed since 2009 with capacity of minimum 2,000 Animals to 10,000 Animals, Data Belonging to Animals is backbone for any Dairy Farm It’s essential for any Dairy Farm to have up-to-date and correct data specially which can help evaluations of Animals Health, Milk Production, Reproduction, Animals are livestock and their identification has major role to keep them tracking specially 2,000 to 10,000 animals it’s very difficult to recognize animals without their ID. Normally Animals have Visual Ear Tags which shows Identification Number and it helps to track that Animal by viewing Identification number by Human eye, but when there is Large groups of Animals e.g. 5,000 Animals, it’s very difficult to check each Animal by visual Tags, record their Health Issues, Treatments, Calving, Reproduction, Milk, Feeding, Animals Sales, specially 4 Times Milking per day which mean 5,000 X 4 = 20,000 Animals Record per day only to record Milking. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System is one which can solve this problem, RFID tags applies to each Animal’s ear, RFID Tag has unique Identification, by which we can track Animals Lifecycle. The reason of using RFID in Animals is that Animals are moving objects we can’t bound animals to be scan like Barcodes, to overcome this problem RFID is the best solution by using RFID as animal is free to move and when it comes at narrow path where RFID scanner is installed, Scanner interact with tag, electronically activates RFID Tag, hence RFID Tag send back its information carrying Identification number to scanner, scanner then send Identification to Database to extract, update Animals Record. This project is about RFID Implementation and Applications in a Live Stock Dairy Farm, which will present importance of RFID, need of RFID, its Different Applications, Environmental issues which effects read orientation, resolutions of issues, its draw backs. This project will mainly focus on RFID Implementation, different operations issues and applications in Dairy Farming.

    Strategic location planning in Pakistan for Steel Re-Rolling/Forming Mills
    (University of Management and Technology Lahore, 2017) Tauseeq Haider, Syed; Rasheed, Humayun
    Facility location of any manufacturing unit plays a vital role in future profitability and effectiveness of company. To get maximum output location of any industrial unit is placed in the most feasible region. To check the feasibility there are various method and methodology. The first step is to identify that industry. Our industrial segment is manufacturing industry in steel sector. This project analyses some of the location site selection techniques which include Factor rating method, Center of gravity method, Location breakeven analysis among these methods we applied Factor rating method to analyze the feasible location of steel manufacturing facility. The reason behind applying this method is its capability to consider many factors objectively. Limited work has been done so far in this particular area in Pakistan; in order to fill this gap this study was conducted.
