  • Wangari Maathai
    WANGARI MAATHAI Throughout Africa (as in much of the world) women hold primary responsibility for tilling the fields, deciding what to plant, nurturing the crops, and harvesting the food. They are the first to become aware of environmental damage that harms agricultural production: If the well goes dry, they are the ones concerned about finding new sources of water and who must walk long distances to fetch it. As mothers, they notice when the food they feed their family is tainted with pollutants or impurities: they can see it in the tears of their children and hear it in their babies’ cries. Wangari Maathai, Kenya’s foremost environmentalist and women’s rights advocate, founded the Green Belt Movement on Earth Day 1977, encouraging farmers (70 percent of whom are women) to plant “greenbelts” to stop soil erosion, provide shade, and create a source of lumber and firewood. She distributed seedlings to rural women and set up an incentive system for each seedling that survived. To date, the movement has planted more than fifteen million trees, produced income for eighty thousand people in Kenya alone, and has expanded its efforts to more than thirty African countries, the United States, and Haiti. Maathai won the Africa Prize for her work in preventing hunger, and was heralded by the Kenyan government—controlled press as an exemplary citizen. A few years later, when Maathai denounced President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi’s proposal to erect a sixty-two-story skyscraper in the middle of Nairobi’s largest park (graced by a four-story statue of Moi himself), officials warned her to curtail her criticism.

It has since grown into a popular movement in Kenya expanding its goals of environmental rehabilitation to include broader socio-political issues in the Kenyan context. To date the GBM has been the subject of studies, which have analysed various phases of its development.

  • A Concise Literature Review on Comparison Between Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma with Their Separate and Combined Applications to a Few Specific Industrial Sectors
    Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial & Mechanical Engineering and Operations Management Dhaka, Bangladesh, December 26-27, 2020 A Concise Literature Review on Comparison between Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma with Their Separate and Combined Applications to a Few Specific Industrial Sectors Nafiz Afsan, Md. Abdul Aziz and A.R.M. Harunur Rashid Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE) Islamic University of Technology (IUT) Boardbazar, Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Lean Manufacturing heavily focuses on reducing waste in order to maximize production. Six Sigma is largely identical to Lean Manufacturing fundamentals, but its main focus is to produce high quality output in consistent manner. Though both methodologies aim at improving manufacturing processes and creating efficiencies, they have their unique set of characteristics that might be best suited when implemented separately. But in the long run, companies have identified the combined implementation of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma as the way forward, as it helps to take the advantage of the strengths of both the strategies while providing a comprehensive, effective and suitable solution to various issues related to the improvement of processes and products. This paper focuses on a comparative exploration of lean manufacturing and six-sigma in terms of their different types of applications to various industries. From our study, it has been observed that, Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies are actively being implemented in conjunction and thus have coined themselves together as the Lean Six Sigma strategy. Keywords Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, TQM.

  • Green Belt and Road Strategy
    Green Belt and Road Strategy UN Environment Programme 1. Background In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced China’s intention to develop The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (known as the Belt and Road Initiative) to expand the ancient trade routes in geographic and thematic scope. Through the Initiative, China will enhance economic development and inter-regional connectivity focusing on - policy, infrastructure, trade, finance and people – across six economic corridors: a China- Mongolia-Russia corridor, a New Eurasian Land Bridge linking China’s coastal cities to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, a China-Central Asia-West Asia corridor, a China-Indochina Peninsula corridor, a China-Pakistan corridor, and a Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar corridor. The Initiative will involve trillions of dollars of investments, largely in transportation, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure, industrial capacity, and technical capacity building. Some of this investment will come from two new financing mechanisms, the Silk Road Fund and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). The US$40 billion Silk Road Fund will invest in infrastructure, resource extraction and industrial and financial cooperation. The Fund’s shareholders include China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the China Investment Corp, the Export-Import Bank of China and the China Development Bank. The Fund welcomes participation from domestic and overseas investors, such as the China-Africa Development Fund and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is to complement and cooperate with existing multilateral development banks to address infrastructure needs in Asia. The Bank focuses on the development of infrastructure, energy, transportation, telecommunications, rural infrastructure, agricultural development, water supply and sanitation, environmental protection, urban development and logistics.

Department, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology Islampur (Sangli), Shivaji University, Kolhapur (India) Abstract: Poka-yoke is a concept in total quality management which is related to restricting errors at source itself. It deals with "fail-safing" or "mistake-proofing". A poka-yoke is any idea generation or mechanism development in a total productive management process that helps operator to avoid (yokeru) mistakes (poka). The concept was generated, and developed by Shigeo Shingo for the Toyota Production System. Keywords— Mistake-proofing, Total quality management, Total productive management. I INTRODUCTION In today’s competitive world any organisation has to manufacture high quality, defect free products at optimum cost. The new culture of total quality management, total productive management in the manufacturing as well as service sector gave birth to new ways to improve quality of products. By using various tools of TQM like KAIZEN, 6 sigma, JIT, JIDCO, POKA YOKE, FMS etc. organisation is intended to develop quality culture.[2,6] The paper is intended to focus basic concept of poka yoke, types of poka yoke system, ways to achieve simple poka yoke mechanism. It also covers practical study work done by various researchers .
