The present paper is concerned with theoretical and experimental study and development of effective suction gas heat exchanger for hermetically sealed compressor. A single tube counter flow heat exchanger had been used, where water itself had been taken as a coolant. Energy consumption parameters as well as COP values have been obtained analytically for both the cases. Energy consumption parameter is 12% less as an average for a heat exchanger attached system compared to the system with out heat exchanger in a time span of 90 minutes. COP values obtained with heat exchanger are firmly better than that of the values with out Heat exchanger. COP values observed to be 7% higher for a heat exchanger coupled system compared to the system with out heat exchanger in the same time span of 90 minutes. In the present scenario where systems optimization is a necessity the present work would be useful in developing a energy efficient system with few modifications. This work would be useful to tackle the heat transfer related issues present in many gas compressors used in pumping and process industries.Keywords

In this paper, a methodology is proposed for evaluating the efficiency and performance of the suppliers through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. DEA is a multifactor productivity technique to measure the relative efficiency of the decision making units. Super Efficiency and Cross Efficiency methods are employed in this work to determine the efficiencies and the performance scores of the suppliers respectively. A numerical illustration is presented to demonstrate the proposed methodology. Twenty three suppliers are considered in the study. Each supplier has six inputs and five outputs. On the basis of super efficiency and cross efficiency scores, the suppliers are classified into different clusters. The suppliers' performance-efficiency score grid is developed, which helps the management to take effective decision in the selection of the suppliers of a company.Keywords

Industries are under intense pressure to find ways for producing goods at lower cost, lead time and at the same time with higher quality, reliability, performance and with other requirements, so as to survive/sustain their competitive position in their respective markets. As cost of components, sub-assemblies and raw materials constitute the main cost of the product, utmost focus is being laid to this major cost contributing factor. Due to consideration of many contradictory criteria, supplier selection is considered as a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) is one of the methods used for solving the MCDM problems. In this paper supplier selection ethodology through FGP is presented and the supplier selection criteria are formulated keeping the requirements of industries such as automobiles, ship building, aircraft making, heavy engineering, etc., in consideration.Keywords

In recent years, performance measurement and metrics of organizations have received much attention from researchers and practitioners. The role of these measures and metrics in the success of an organization cannot be overstated because they affect strategic, tactical and operational planning and control. Performance measurement and metrics have an important role to play in setting objectives, evaluating performance and determining future courses of actions. Performance measurement and metrics pertaining to leagile supply chains have not received adequate attention from researchers or practitioners. In the area of supply chain management, application of MCDM methods is limited to supplier selection and transportation carrier selection.
In this paper, fifteen organizations involved in production of apparels in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are considered for evaluation of supply chain strategies in leagile perspective using DEMATEL-AHP methodology. AHP frame work is developed with level 0 as goal of analyzing the leagile performance of the supply chains. Performance measures are considered in level 1. Level 2 contains enablers of the performance measures of leagile supply chains. Level 3 contains fifteen supply chain organizations. Weights of the performance enablers are determined through FPIR and FNIR approach without interdependence. DEMATEL is employed to determine the relative weights of the performance enablers from interdependence. DEMATEL is employed to determine the relative weights of the performance enablers from interdependence. Global weights of performance enablers are determined by successively multiplying the weights of performance measures with the weights respective enablers. Evaluation of supply chains in leagile perspective is done by finding out leagile index obtained by weighted sum of payoff of the enablers.
