This paper attempts to focus on effects of the lean tools when applied in small enterprises particularly in manufacturing sector. In this competitive world, muda is to be reduced and the result therefrom is for better productivity and simultaneous cost-curtailment in production sphere of manufacturing. In this paper two tools of lean i.e., kaizen and why-why analysis have been applied over small manufacturing enterprise and its impact on the cost-effectiveness at the shop-floor of various component production has been analyzed to ascertain the lean concept which can be applied in the small enterprises for its betterment&making it competitive in the global market.Keywords

The Small scale manufacturing enterprises are facing critical problems while selling their products. As the SSE is not having huge financial backup and so they depend very much on the revenue earned after selling their product. The product sales can only increase if the manufactured product is meeting the desired level of standard of the customers' requirement. But actually it is not doing so. In this paper, we have tried to analyse the problems in the context of external obstacles to Quality by taking survey with the help of questionnaire for the SSE. If the external obstacles are addressed properly by the SSE, then they can remove the obstacles to quality to a large extent by changing them accordingly as per market demand.References

External casts comparable with Polyplacophora (Mollusca), collected from the sand/silt-mud alternation facies (turbidite) of upper Talchir sediments of Dudhi Nala, West Bokaro basin, Hazaribagh district, Bihar are described and illustrated here for the first time. These sediments were reported to be unfossiliferous. Polyplacophoran morphology of the fossils indicate a marine link of the West Bokaro basin during the upper Talchir times. Dudhi Nala area is presently considered to be yet another locality proximal to the eastern limit of the Lower Permian marine incursion in the Indian peninsula along the Raniganj-Daltonganj-Manendragarh-Umaria belt.Keywords

Current crescents genetically linked to exposed heads of the passively filled mud-lined tunneled crustacean burrows on the sandy substrate are being reported from the upper shelf sediments of glacio-marine Talchir Formation (Permo-Carboniferous), Raniganj Basin, Eastern India. Such burrow-linked current crescents may be used as a tool for the identification of sedimentary environment and its energy condition.Keywords

The small-scale enterprises are facing a stiff competition from the changing global environment. The obstacles for productivity in an enterprise are from both internal and external in nature. Internal obstacles are manageable by the in-house effort from SSE but external obstacles are influenced by various outreach parameters. The present paper tried to focus on effect of external obstacles on productivity through a case-study analysis and a methodology for productivity for its improvement. This paper emphasized to address the most significant external obstacles for productivity improvement under the changing global environment.

The small scale enterprises (SSE) involved in manufacturing are facing critical problems for marketing their products consistently. As the SSE is not having huge financial backup, they are helpless when unable to get repetitive order. Causes relating to this problem arc mostly either due to quality or productivity of the SSE. The product sales can only be continuous if the manufactured product is meeting the desired level of standard and quantity of the customer’s requirement. In this paper, effort has been made to analyse the problems in the context of Productivity-Quality relationship by applying lean tools in a small manufacturing unit. A mathematical model has been developed based on ranks of productivity and quality, which has been validated, by statistical test and requisite graphical presentation drawn for it as well. This shows if the quality of the product is increased, number of complaints is less and the productivity will increase automatically. This has been proved in this case study analysis under the assumption that whatever being produced is sold, there is a huge demand for the SSE products as well.

This paper attempts to focus on the utilization of fly ash. Fly ash, a by-product from the combustion of coal in thermal power plants, is generated to the tune about 160-180 million tone in India per annum. Disposal of this huge quantity of ash is a challenging task and the generated ash is creating a lot of environmental problems. One of the best options for the effective disposal of fly ash is its utilization in building materials as bricks, blocks and cement. The problem with fly ash lies in the fact that its disposal requires large quantities of land, water and energy. For their weightlessness it can become air born easily and cause deleterious health hazards by polluting air, soil and water.

Present work is the first report of Early Permian xiphosurid trackways from India. Surface trackways and undertracks, preserved within ice-marginal storm-affected, shoreface sediments of the Talchir Formation, Jayanti coalbasin closely resemble Kouphichnium Nopsca 1923. Trackways reveal distinct heteropody with foliate pusher impressions, paired series of semi-circular, oval, V- or Y-shaped chilate (walking) leg impressions. Varied ventral impressions also include telson drag marks and telson dents; spine drag marks, book-gills impression, genal gouges as well as symmetric, paired lateral genal furrows, partial cubichnial impressions of prosoma and spinose opisthosoma. A tentative early Permian age (Asselian/Sakmarian) and marginal marine facies association points towards a paleolimuloidae affinity for the trace makers, which is in conformity with their inferred widths of exoskeleton, sub-rounded prosoma and subtriangular spinose opisthosoma with predictable movable spines. Flexed pusher impressions and co-dominant pincer impressions as well as, other ventral impressions in abundance, confirm crawling as their dominant mode of locomotion. Inferred presence of juvenile crawlers in the community suggests a probable shoreline or marginal marine ecospace.Keywords

The importance of Ethics in a Business can never be exaggerated as it works as a lubricant in the organisational machinery ensuring smooth and long uninterrupted running. The importance of Ethics escalates in Financial Industry, including Insurance, due to its very nature of business, featured with products having complexity, intangibility, deferred maturity and information asymmetry. This calls for the need to have a conceptual understanding in detail of the insurance selling by the agents. This paper investigates the different aspects of ethics in insurance selling in India, with a specific focus on the sale of insurance by agents, as they are the main constituents out of different channels though which insurance selling in India takes place and it is majorly on their shoulder to hold on activities and showcasing pre-sell & post-sell behaviour that will ultimately leave an impression of ethical treatment to the customers by the Insurer organisation represented by the concerned Insurance agents. The paper is conceptually designed to cover all aspects of ethics related to selling of insurance products by agents. It was found that the inherent nature of an insurance product is such that sometimes the concept unethical sales get established replacing an otherwise ethical sale. This happens because the goodness of an insurance product may be influenced by factors beyond the control of the agent or the insurer itself. The long-term nature of the product calls for the risk element due to changes in the political, economic and societal changes.Keywords

The stellar performance of the Indian economy has ushered in new opportunities for the country. There has also been a substantial reduction in poverty in recent years. All these achievements however have not been able to bring about the much-needed development of the children in the country. The child development indicators, i.e., the state of undernutrition and malnutrition remain worrisome for the country. The declining poverty rates and the disassociation between child developments seems a little surprising. The objective of this paper is to see if there is any link between the anthropometric indicators as measured by stunting rates and poverty ratios or the reason why declining child development indicators are to be found elsewhere. The paper uses the OLS regression on the available data from NFHS and NSSO. The result does point towards the suggestive association between poverty reduction and child development, but it also hints towards other variables playing a major role in the process. The policy application for such a study can be huge considering the debate that exists in the mainstream today.Keywords

Higher accuracy and precision are highly demandable in modern industry through computer-aided manufacturing technology. The paper deals with the parametric analysis for helix angle(°), radial depth of cut (mm), axial depth of cut (mm) and cutting speed(m/min) as well as the second-order mathematical modelling for Surface Roughness (SR) as surface texture (Ra ), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) and machining rate as a form of Material Removal Rate (MRR) have been carried out. Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) is performed during helical profile cutting on cast iron based on modelling. Multi-response, as well as single objective optimization, has been done for finding the best process parameters setting for maximum MRR and minimum TWR and SR using desirability function analysis during profile cutting by advanced CNC milling. It is found that surface finish accuracy is increased with better surface quality and lower tool wear found with maximized MRR using AlTiN (aluminium titanium nitride) coated Tungsten carbide Tool (WC).Keywords
