  • Continuous Improvement Project: Filter Manufacturing Department at BAT in Heidelberg
    BPJ 410 – Final Report Continuous Improvement Project: Filter Manufacturing Department at BAT in Heidelberg Benito Decina s28345186 Executive Summary Production industries are subject to the ebb and flow of demand and supply fluctuations, with an increase in a product’s demand driving up the supplier’s production. At BAT’s factory in Heidelberg, the Filter Manufacturing Department is currently operating at nothing more than 75% efficiency, and is the bottleneck in BAT’s production process. If BAT plans to keep up with the increase in consumer demand, improvement is needed. To achieve a more acceptable production efficiency of about 85 to 95%, blockages hindering filter supply need to be minimised, changeover times reduced, and waste production needs to be kept to a minimal. The only way to achieve this objective would be to analyse the current layout, identify its flaws and areas of improvement, and then implement a new layout that would improve the department’s performance and complement future objectives. With the aid of simulation models, information is retrieved to determine the extent of improvements the proposed layout will be able to provide. The freed up floor space created by the proposed layout design will also be looked at to determine its best possible use. The information gathered from the simulations as well as the available floor space will provide a clear indication of the viability of the proposed layout. i Table of Contents 1.

  • Smoking and Quitting Behaviour in Lockdown South Africa
    SMOKING AND QUITTING BEHAVIOUR IN LOCKDOWN SOUTH AFRICA: RESULTS FROM A SECOND SURVEY Professor Corné van Walbeek Samantha Filby Kirsten van der Zee 21 July 2020 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is based on the results of an online survey, conducted between 4 June and 19 June 2020. The study was conducted by the Research Unit on the Economics of Excisable Products (REEP), an independent research unit based at the University of Cape Town. It was funded by the African Capacity Building Foundation, which in turn is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This report follows on from our first report entitled “Lighting up the illicit cigarette market: Smokers’ responses to the cigarette sales ban in South Africa”, which was published on 15 May 2020. That report was based on an online survey conducted between 29 April and 11 May 2020. When the second survey was conducted, the ban on the sales of cigarettes had been extended, even as the country had moved from lockdown Level 4 to Level 3. The questionnaire was distributed on Twitter, Change.org (a petition site) and Moya (a data-free platform). The survey yielded 23 631 usable responses. In contrast to the first study, we did not weigh the data, because the sampling methodology (i.e. online survey) made it impossible to reach the poorer segments of society. We thus do not claim that the data is nationally representative; we report on the characteristics of the sample, not the South African smoking population. In the report we often report the findings by race and gender, because smoking behaviour in South Africa has very pronounced race-gender differences.

  • Controlling the Tobacco Barons in South Africa Why the Framework Convention Is Necessary
    Controlling the Tobacco Barons in South Africa Why the Framework Convention is necessary By Peter Mann, Chief Executive, Meropa Communications World Health Organisation Change Agents for the “Don’t be Duped” campaign ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meropa Communications is the leading public relations consultancy in South Africa with some 50 staff and an equal number of blue-chip clients – ranging from the Merrill Lynch’s of the world to British Airways. I say this not to be boastful but to indicate the seriousness of the issue with which we are dealing and to illustrate our company’s commitment to this cause. We will no longer take tobacco money. It is with some embarrassment that I acknowledge that, at the behest of our then UK parent, we once did. It was an extraordinary experience. Because the UK company represented them around the world we were required to be part of the service and placed on a handsome retainer. Yet, they seldom asked us to do any work. Only once was I asked to arrange a meeting with an editor. I am pleased to say the level of hostility I encountered was such that the meeting never took place. Why will we no longer take tobacco money and why have we approached the WHO to become an active participant in the Don’t be Duped campaign? We sat as an agency and watched the tobacco barons trying to undermine the South African Government’s laudable anti-smoking regulations. We sat and watched what appeared to be deliberate campaigns aimed at various disadvantaged South African market segments – namely, blacks, women and youth.

  • The Exploitation of German Aeronautical Science in Postwar Britain
    Andrew Nahum il believe the Americans have not yet taken them all!': the exploitation of German aeronautical science in postwar Britain Introduction The exploitation of Germany's scientific research and its scientists by the USA, and particularly the transfer ofWernher von Braun and the other rocket experts from the V2 programme, has received considerable attention, both at a scholarly and a popular level. There have also been broader studies of the well-known American programmes 'Overcast' and 'Paperclip', which brought many German scientists to the USA. Of these studies the most comprehensive and analytical must be that by the American historian John Gimbel which puts 'Paperclip' into the context of the whole intelligence­ gathering operation mounted in Germany at the end of the war and its translation into a kind of undeclared programme to extract 'intellectual reparations'. 1 By contrast, the substantial British efforts after the war to utilise German science and technology have received surprisingly little study, although Tom Bower has characterised UK efforts as amateurish and piecemeal.2 Similarly, Bill Gunston, a writer well regarded by the aircraft industry and the former Technical Editor of Flight magazine has asserted, quite misleadingly, that in postwar Britain designers struggled to create advanced aircraft without proper equipment because 'all the transonic windtunnels found in Germany were pinched by our allies'.3 Even a 1996 work on technology transfer out of Germany after 1945 largely neglects Britain.
