  • Catalyst Manufacturing: MAGGI 2-Minute Noodle Wrapper Project
    Catalyst Manufacturing: MAGGI 2-minute Noodle wrapper project By LUZANNE RAUTENBACH 25106334 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELORS OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING In the FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, BUILT ENVIROMENT AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA October 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main product manufactured at Catalyst Manufacturing is MAGGI 2-minutes noodles. The noodle line consists of 8 lines which are designed to do 40 cuts x 4 lines a minute, yielding 160 noodle cakes per minute. Catalyst Manufacturing is currently experiencing major problems within the production line, resulting in large overhead costs and a vast number of defective products. 2009 year-end statistics indicate an average noodle loss (noodle cake and dough) of 7.94% against an allowed loss of 4%. Rework that could not be absorbed during 2009 amounted to 328 tons at a product value of R 3.8 million. The nature of this project will mainly focus on the application of simulation and management financing techniques applied in the production line at Catalyst Manufacturing. The goal of the project is to allocate weight to each individual problem to establish the financial overheads associated with each area. By means of this data, a variety of cost-efficient solutions can be generated to reduce the overall losses in the system. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary ........................................................................................................ 1 Chapter 1 – Introduction.................................................................................................

  • See Food Innovation with a Whole New Lens
    See food innovation with a whole new lens. Virtual Event and Expo July 13-15, 2020 iftevent.org 1 SHIFT20 Program Overview Food innovation is evolving at a rapid pace, consumer perceptions are evolving, and the IFT community is leading the way. Accelerating the science of food and technology to sustainably feed and nourish the world’s population is the mission of IFT and nowhere is this more evident than when we come together through IFT20s virtual experience to share, imagine, and collectively solve challenges impacting our global food supply. But in order to do this, we need to approach innovation differently, we need to challenge the status quo, and we need to cross disciplines to gain new insights and shift our thinking to bring the world better food. IFT20 is where this shift begins. 2 Featured Speakers April Rinne Monday, July 13 SHIFT20 Virtual Event and Expo will kick off with a thought- provoking keynote address with April Rinne, member of the World Economic Forum, speaker, writer, and authority on the new economy, future of work, and global citizenship. The world is changing, and April has spent her career making sense of these changes from the perspective of a trusted advisor, advocate, thought leader and lifelong global citizen. With more than 20 years and 100 countries of experience at the 50-yard line of emerging innovation, April brings a keen eye towards where the world is heading with no greater purpose than to help build a brighter tomorrow. In this keynote April will explore the critical role that food science, emerging technologies, and the food industry will need to play in addressing food security in the face of our current pandemic times and global climate change.

  • The Biology and Ecology of Cat Fleas and Advancements in Their Pest Management: a Review
    insects Review The Biology and Ecology of Cat Fleas and Advancements in Their Pest Management: A Review Michael K. Rust ID Department of Entomology, University of California Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-951-827-5327 Academic Editors: Changlu Wang and Chow-Yang Lee Received: 7 August 2017; Accepted: 18 October 2017; Published: 27 October 2017 Abstract: The cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché) is the most important ectoparasite of domestic cats and dogs worldwide. It has been two decades since the last comprehensive review concerning the biology and ecology of C. f. felis and its management. Since then there have been major advances in our understanding of the diseases associated with C. f. felis and their implications for humans and their pets. Two rickettsial diseases, flea-borne spotted fever and murine typhus, have been identified in domestic animal populations and cat fleas. Cat fleas are the primary vector of Bartonella henselae (cat scratch fever) with the spread of the bacteria when flea feces are scratched in to bites or wounds. Flea allergic dermatitis (FAD) common in dogs and cats has been successfully treated and tapeworm infestations prevented with a number of new products being used to control fleas. There has been a continuous development of new products with novel chemistries that have focused on increased convenience and the control of fleas and other arthropod ectoparasites. The possibility of feral animals serving as potential reservoirs for flea infestations has taken on additional importance because of the lack of effective environmental controls in recent years. Physiological insecticide resistance in C.
