Optimizing Quality on the Salad Packaging Line on the Example of Company X
No full textLõputöös uuriti, kuidas ja millisel põhjusel tekib majoneesipõhjaliste salatite pakendamisliinil praak ning leida vaatluse tulemusel üles võimalikud kitsaskohad ja seejärel teha ettevõttele X parendusettepanekuid.
Ettevõttes X läbi viidud 14 päevase vaatlusperioodi tulemusena selgus, et pakendatavate salatikarpide kogumahust tekib praaki 2,67%. Analüüsi tulemusena selgus, et külma köögi majoneesipõhjaliste salatite pakendamisliinil tekib arvuliselt ning protsentuaalselt suurimas koguses mitte realiseeritavaid salatikarpe pakendamisliini täitmisahela doseerimiskolu puhastusmeetodina kasutusel oleva üleminekusalatite ja alamõõduliste lõppsalatite pakendamise tõttu.
Uuritud ja vaadeldud pakendamisprotsess pakendamisliinil oli produktiivne, ettevõtte ootused kvaliteedile on kõrged ning antud pakendamisliin suudab need ka täita, kuna pakendatud salatikarpe, mis olid praagid pakendamisliinil tekkinud vea tõttu, oli 14 päevase uurimisperioodi jooksul pigem vähe.
Lõputöö uurimisküsimusele, „Kuidas vähendada salati pakendamisliinil olemasolevat praagi teket?“, pakkus töö autor välja lahenduse, mida antud edukas toiduainetööstus võiks tulevikus kaaluda, et viia praagi ja vigade tekkepõhjused miinimumini. Pakutava lahendusena on toodud välja salatite säilivusaja pikendamine, mis võimaldaks salatikarpe pakendada ettevõtte planeeringu järgi. Seejärel ladustada salatid kohapeal või kasutada ühe meetodina ladustamist ning ka turustada kauplustes.
Analüüsist võib järeldada, et pakutavad idee tasandil muudatused võiksid tuua ettevõttele pikemas perspektiivis majanduslikku kasumlikkust ning pakutavad ideed on reaalselt rakendatavad salati pakendamisliini parendamiseks kvaliteedi osas.The aim of the bachelor’s thesis „Optimizing Quality on the Salad Packaging Line on the Example of Company X” is to determine the bottlenecks of the new packaging line and their improvement opportunities. In 2020, the company acquired a new packaging line, Grunwald Rotary 12 000, to package mayonnaise-based salads. Previously the company used the packaging line Speedy. The data observed and analyzed were the types of waste generated on the packaging line, which were: transitional salads, label errors, film errors, lid errors, undersized salads.
Method used for the thesis is action research. The action research started with the author observing and analyzing the new packaging line, then analyzing the measurement results and afterwards identifying and analyzing the bottlenecks. Finally, the author provided recommendations on how to improve the identified bottlenecks.
The bachelor’s thesis is composed of three chapters, where the first chapter is the theoretical part, the second chapter is the description of the method of the thesis and the third chapter is the empirical part of the thesis. Both the first and the third chapter are subdivided into specific chapters to look more into the various topics covered in the thesis. The theoretical part is introductory and describes food processing and preservation, the history of packaging lines, the overview of packaging materials used for food packaging and their requirements. The theoretical part also includes the application of nanotechnology in food packaging and its advantages and possible risks in the food industry, along with explanation of the packaging line functions and optimization possibilities. The empirical part of the thesis looks briefly into the company, what are the characteristics of the company, how did the packaging room and packaging line looks like and how was the packaging of mayonnaise-based salads done. The empirical part also offers an overview of the observation, measurement results, bottlenecks and suggestions for improvement.
On the basis of the results of this research, it can be concluded that the change of the packaging line has been useful, as the percentage and quantity of the waste has notably decreased compared to the previous packaging line. Transitional salads and undersized salads create the most waste in the new packaging line. In order to reduce transitional salads, the author suggests extending the shelf life of salads by adding acetic acid to the salads, changing the packaging to a more systematic process, where certain types of salads are packed on a specific selected day of the week based on the demand. This would also reduce the number of intermediate washes
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
