EU-Turkey plan for handling refugees is fraught with legal and procedural challenges. CEPS Commentary, 10 March 2016

EU-Turkey relations in the scope of the ongoing refugee crisis were at the heart of the European Council meeting of 7 March 2016. Among the set of initiatives proposed, the following two have attracted the most attention: First, for every Syrian readmitted by Turkey from the Greek islands, another Syrian from Turkey would be resettled in an EU member state.

Riorganizzazione della manutenzione in ottica TPM: il caso Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Italy

Il presente lavoro di tesi nasce dall'attività di stage svolto presso la Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Italy S.p.A. di Bologna, azienda specializzata nella produzione di carrelli elevatori. Lo scopo prefissato di questo elaborato è quello di fornire una visione globale della Total Productive Maintenance, andando successivamente ad illustrare gli strumenti e le metodologie impiegate in un contesto reale e quindi i risultati ottenibili nel medio-lungo termine. La prima parte dell’elaborato va ad illustrare lo scenario moderno nel quale le imprese sono chiamate a confrontarsi e a competere per raggiungere i propri obiettivi. Nella seconda parte viene trattato il tema della “manutenzione dei sistemi produttivi” con particolare attenzione agli approcci risolutivi e alle politiche intraprese nel corso degli ultimi anni per poi analizzare il principale strumento di gestione della manutenzione utilizzato in scala mondiale, ovvero la Total Production Maintenance. L’ultima parte, dopo un capitolo riservato alla presentazione dell’azienda, si concentra sulle attività svolte presso l’azienda, sugli strumenti e tecniche utilizzate, per poi analizzare i risultati ottenuti ed ottenibili grazie al percorso intrapreso.
