Nutritional Standards for School Lunches and Other School Food

In September 2005 the Government received recommendations fromthe School Meals Review Panel (SMRP) on school lunches and on a number of wider issues concerning food in schools. In response to that report Turning the Tables the newly-established School Food Trust (SFT) was commissioned to advise Ministers on standards for food in school other than lunch.The DfES consulted widely on the recommendations of the SMRP andon a more limited basis on the advice of the SFT. Reports on the responses to each of those consultations are available at: www.dfes.gov.uk/consultations/conresults.cfm?consultationId=1319Having considered responses to those consultations and taken intoaccount the many representations the Department has received on theseissues from a range of stakeholders, the Secretary of State for Education and Skills has arrived at final decisions on the standards. These standards will apply to school lunches and other food provided in all local authority maintained schools in England.

Virtaustehokkuuden parantaminen tuotannossa visuaalisen ohjauksen avulla

Yrityksen kilpailukyvyn turvaaminen muuttuvassa toimintaympäristössä on välttämätöntä. Lean-ajattelun avulla tuotantoyritysten on mahdollista toimia tehokkaammin parantamalla virtausta. Tämän työn tarkoituksena on parantaa kotimaisen elintarviketeollisuusyrityksen tuotannon sisäisten materiaalivirtojen tehokkuutta. Tavoitteena tutkimuksella on löytää nykyisistä materiaalivirroista kehittämiskohteita sekä rakentaa niihin ratkaisuja. Tätä kautta kohdeyritystä autetaan saavuttamaan tehokkaampi ja turvallisempi työympäristö. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin kvalitatiivista tutkimusmenetelmää. Teoriaosiossa tehtiin kirjallisuuskatsaus lean-ajatteluun sekä visuaaliseen ohjaukseen. Teoriasta saatiin menetelmät materiaalivirtojen analysointiin sekä toiminnan kehittämiseen. Empiirisessä osiossa tietoa kerättiin tuotannon henkilöstön haastatteluilla sekä havainnoimalla työntekoa tuotannossa materiaalivirtojen kuvaamiseksi. Kuvausten perusteella paikallistettiin materiaalivirroista hukkia, joiden vähentämiseksi luotiin virtaustehokkuutta parantavia kehitysehdotuksia. Virtaustehokkuuden parantamisessa käytettiin hyödyksi materiaalitarpeesta ilmoittavaa andon-järjestelmää, joka kuuluu visuaalisen ohjauksen menetelmiin. Tämän lisäksi käytettiin kohdeyrityksellä jo käytössä olevaa 5S-menetelmää. Näiden menetelmien tehokas hyödyntäminen edellyttää kuitenkin lean-ajattelun periaatteiden mukaisia muutoksia työskentelytapoihin, materiaalien varastopaikkoihin sekä tuotannossa toimiviin osastoihin.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Effectiveness in Performing Life Cycle Assessment of Building

The scope of this project is to study the effectiveness of building information modelling (BIM) in performing life cycle assessment in a building. For the purposes of the study will be used “Revit” which is a BIM software and Tally which is an LCA tool integrated in Revit. The project is divided in six chapters. The first chapter consists of a theoretical introduction into building information modelling and its connection to life cycle assessment. The second chapter describes the characteristics of building information modelling (BIM). In addition, a comparison has been made with the traditional architectural, engineering and construction business model and the benefits to shift into BIM. In the third chapter it will be a review of the most well-known and available BIM software in the market. In chapter four life cycle assessment (LCA) will be described in general and later on specifically for the purpose of the case study that will be used in the following chapter. Moreover, the tools that are available to perform an LCA will be reviewed. Chapter five will present the case study that consists of a model in a BIM software (Revit) and the LCA performed by Tally, an LCA tool integrated into Revit. In the last chapter will be a discussion of the results that were obtained, the limitation and the possible future improvement in performing life cycle assessment (LCA) in a BIM model.

Relatório de estágio na GESTAMP Aveiro: a melhoria contínua aplicada à gestão de processos logísticos

O presente Relatório de Estágio procura fornecer uma visão global das atividades realizadas ao longo do estágio no Departamento de Logística, na Gestamp Aveiro. O relatório inicia-se com uma apresentação da empresa acolhedora, bem como do departamento de logística. Após esta apresentação é feito um enquadramento teórico que se debruça sobre o conceito de logística e as filosofias de melhoria contínua na eliminação de desperdícios (Kaizen e Lean), seguindo-se a apresentação das tarefas desenvolvidas ao longo dos seis meses de estágio. Considerando que todas as atividades desenvolvidas são resultado de implementações e/ou sugestões de melhoria aplicadas à empresa, este relatório realça a importância do espírito crítico na procura incessante pela melhoria da eficácia e eficiência em todas as áreas empresariais.

Estudio sobre la aplicación de Lean Healthcare en el sector hospitalario en Medellín

A pesar de que parece a veces simple, no es fácil explicar la esencia del término Lean -- Lean ayuda a las organizaciones a optimizar sus costos a través de la eliminación de los desperdicios lo que conlleva a un aumento de productividad que se debe traducir en una mejora en la rentabilidad de la empresa -- Esta mejora en la productividad es un elemento clave al momento de elegir Lean como herramienta de trabajo, debido a que está demostrado que no es una moda pasajera y que verdaderamente su aplicación puede rendir frutos en la manufactura y los servicios -- El presente trabajo pretende partir del termino Lean desde sus generalidades, examinando once herramientas que apoyan su implementación tanto en ambientes de manufactura como de servicios, para llegar a lo que se conoce hoy como Lean Healthcare, examinando la aplicación de esas mismas herramientas en ambientes hospitalarios -- Se realizó una revisión de la literatura que abarca tanto Lean como Lean Healthcare, haciendo énfasis en once herramientas (Hoshin Kanry, fábrica visual, 5´s, VSM, Poka Yoke, Heijunka, Kanban, Andon, Jidoka, Kaizen, Smed) que permiten identificar la aplicación de estas tanto en ambientes industriales como hospitalarios -- El resultado describe que herramientas son las más usadas en el sector hospitalario, en qué áreas se han aplicado los conceptos de Lean Healthcare, que impactos ha tenido la aplicación de estas herramientas y que implicaciones ha tenido para las instituciones la aplicación Lean Healthcare -- Toda esta revisión se enfocó luego en las instituciones de salud de la ciudad de Medellín a las cuales se les aplicó una encuesta para medir el grado de familiaridad que tienen en relación con las técnicas lean mencionadas
