Item Strategic location planning in Pakistan for steel Re-rolling/forming mills(UMT, Lahore, 2017) Syed Tauseeq Haider and Humayun RasheedFacility 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.Item Fabrication of continuous mode biomass gasifier reactor for thermal application(UMT, Lahore, 2017) ALEEZA FATIMA, MUHAMMAD AZEEM ASHRAF and OMER MUNIRAs we were doing our final year project, our main objective is to convert agricultural-waste into a useful resource. We selected a preliminary design of continuous mode. We designed that model of gasifier on Solid Works designing software. Then we fabricate a Continuous mode Biomass Gasifier Reactor with improved thermal performance and low cost, by using local material and technology. It provide clean Fuel for thermal applications and economical energy solution for industrial and domestic purposes. The gas produced in gasifier could be used to generate electricity and also for continuous supply of gas for commercial purposes. Due to load shedding of natural gas industries have to suffer a big loss. We have used rice husk as biomass and made a special reactor fabricated from local machines and local materials in order to decrease the cost of gasifier. We have achieved high thermal efficiency from our reactor using gasification process which requires limited amount of air that has been provided by a DC fan. During experimentation phase we were facing difficulty in the process of gasification so we figure out the cause which is directly associated with the supply of air so we fabricate a tunnel for supply of sufficient air. By-product is a bio-char which can be used as a fertilizer because of enrichment of essential minerals like potassium and nitrogen and also be used for water filtration process.Item Energy audit and economic analysis of mechanical production unit(UMT, Lahore, 2017) Saqib AhsanIn this project, we have conducted an Energy Audit & Economic Analysis of Mechanical Production Unit that consents us to study the energy being utilized in Hussain Tech Pvt. Limited (Al-Ghani Industrial Estate Lahore). We have premeditated every single device and appliance being used there and the frequencies of utilization of devices that consume electricity and incur a cost. By using a variety of techniques, including Surveys, Data Collection and Monitoring Appliances we analyze the usage of energy and find the optimal energy requirement throughout the organization. That finally leads us to effectively suggest some Ideas and Solution for cost reduction after brainstorming and research session. The basic purpose of this project is to develop a potential of cost savings of energy as cost incurred in administration, production and other activities included in the process. The importance and need for this project are clear as it results in saving energy which eventually results in higher profits in future and good repute of the company.Item Product development for remote gas level monitoring of gas cylinders and products’ business potential(UMT, Lahore, 2017) Muhammad Anas Sharif, Syed Safdar Ali Shah and Junaid SoomroThis is an entrepreneurial project for providing of LPG Gas filling in food stalls, restaurants, and houses which are located in the remote areas of Lahore and also in societies where there is no gas connection. Keeping in view the shortage of gas in Lahore we have come up with this LPG providing business model. The distinctive feature of this business model is a special device that will be fixed on the top of cylinder and will detect the amount of LPG gas remaining in the cylinder, before the LPG reaches to the ending line, we will receive the message through GSM. Ours representative will drive the vehicle to that particular place and re-fill the cylinder. The bill for LPG filling will be charged from customers on monthly basis. There will be onetime setup cost of device and cylinder.Item Improving the bottom line and customer satisfaction in educational institute by DMAIC process(UMT, Lahore, 2017) HAFIZ MUHAMMAD SAAD SHAHID, SYED ZEESHAN BUKHARI and MUHAMMAD TAUQEER AHMADSix Sigma is a critical thinking approach which analyses the performances and processes before actualizing the upgrades. Then accomplish some improvements in the level of execution. (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) DMAIC technique of six sigma is utilized as a framework of this project through which bottom-line of this educational institute improves by improving the satisfaction level of students and the potential clients. From the define stage to improve stage, we gather the information from various sources by legitimate planning. Assess the information deeply, direct studies and investigate the outcomes to gauge the current fulfillment level of their clients statistically and graphically. Identify the reasons of the loop holes in the system by brainstorming session and by establish cause and effect diagram. Take some remedial actions on it and make standards, define ROR and introduce some unique features regarding quality management which are not present in their targeted market area. The improvements made significant changes in the satisfaction level of the students and parents of this educational institute names as IQRA Group of Institutes. The comparison has shown by drawing the bar charts of the collective data from the institute. Once positive changes develop in the system then it should be control and eliminate or minimize the actions or activities from the system which may leads toward dissatisfaction in future. Furthermore, we suggest some more possible improvements that would be done to attain more good results because DMAIC strategy is never ended process.Item Graphene-supercapacitor(UMT, Lahore, 2017) Haseeb Niazi, Azhar Shabbir and Sharib JameelThe evolution of human interactions and work activities is quite revolutionized in about last 2 decades. The world has turned digital in almost every aspect of life. With it, came many challenges and errands to accomplish. The most essential component of this digital world, is quite modestly behind the walls of concealment. Batteries that enable us to turn as many devices as we want; into portable ones and make us feel quite handy about so many tasks a day. That is also the area in which the major lagging of revolution is found, as the best battery (Lithium Ion) of the age is subjected to catch fire or even catch fire under high temperature conditions and possess limited performance properties. Here comes the most feasible startup idea of innovating energy storage. The best bet turned out to be recently commercialized material, graphene. The super-capacitor made of graphene shows some overwhelming performance characteristics.
