Influence of technologies like BIM, SAP and other tools for enhancement of quality and productivity of the organization based on lean manufacturing techniques

Armed with technologies from Building Information Modeling (BIM) to IoT, contractors are well trained to translate the construction information into operational insights. Using Lean Manufacturing Techniques there are innumerable opportunities to streamline the business process in construction. SAP provides smart technology-enabled workforce across contractors and employees. SAP eliminates the downtime waiting for materials and reduces cost. This paper discusses the role of BIM and SAP tools which ultimately optimize for the continuous innovation on quality and productivity of the organization. These tools provide an excellent platform for professionals to work in the highly integrated environment at any stage of complete building delivery process. BIM is linked to ERP which provides visual component through the entire process and helps to minimize errors. These innovation tools integrate business transaction and analytics to digital core making everything simpler, faster and smarter.

Nutririch millet (Finger millet) and Legume (Macrotyloma uniflorum) in developing Ready-To-Eat (RTE) food

The proposed article is envisaged in developing RTE foods by effective use of underutilized Nutri-cereals (millets) and legumes which focuses on the functional, rheological and nutritional aspects of millets and legumes used in formulating RTE foods. Further, it also highlights the significance of their consumption and in formulating extruded food. In this study, an attempt has been made to develop nutririch RTE food by incorporating legume with millets. Millet (Finger millet) was blended along with corn and wheat in the proportion of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50 and 100:0. Legume (Macrotyloma uniflorum) flour was added at the rate of 10, 20, 30 and 40 percent. Among these levels of trails 25:75 (finger millet: corn-wheat) with 10 percent legume was awarded highest acceptability score of 8.30 compared to all other samples resulting with significantly highest protein percent (12.25%) compared to control (11.05%). The rheological properties such as hardness, crispiness, gumminess, and chewiness were observed to be 718.10N, 28 numbers of peaks, 138 and 23.62 respectively. Similarly, functional properties namely Expansion ratio of 3.31, Water absorption index of 6.14 g/100g, Water solubility index of 3.52 g/100g, the water holding capacity of 142.55 g/100g and Oil holding the capacity of 68.18 g/100g respectively was observed for millet and legume-based RTE food.

Employee engagement: Factors affecting organizational excellence

The study walks around the basic concept of employee engagement in order to find how it assists in getting the maximum out of the employees as the main goal of any organization is high productivity. It also focuses on how employee engagement can be used effectively emphasizing on its foundation, namely employee commitment, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study further emphasizes mainly on employee engagement by investigating the four chief drivers, namely interpersonal relations/communication, work-life stability, leadership, goal setting theory. The study highlights how these drivers impact employee engagement significantly. Despite heightened interest shown by academicians and practitioners in the construct of employee engagement, there is a paucity of literature on these four drivers and their impact on employee engagement. Therefore, this paper attempts to show interdependence between the drivers of performance and the parameters of employee engagement. Originality/Value: The study will help in understanding how the performance of employees in any organization is a significant aspect and companies are striving to get an edge over each other by focussing on their employees’ mental and physical well-being. Once the employees of an organization are enthusiastic and passionate about their work, they tend to relate their emotional faculty with that of organization’s physical being and may go extra miles for the success of the organization. Employee engagement is, then seen as an interaction between two variables, i.e. employee and the employer and hence, comes out to be one of the most important drivers in impacting the performance within the organization.

Comparison and analysis of various low power SRAM cells

With the advancement of CMOS technology, an outsized variety of transistors used thanks to that scaling happens. Currently on a daily basis memory plays a crucial role within the entire chip and provides the most power to the SOC system. during this paper, 6-T HVP, 7-T HVP, 8-T HVP and 9-T HVP is projected that improve the soundness of SRAM cell, reduce power in read-write operation and reduce escape power in standby mode. 2 techniques accustomed reduce power and escape power. In 1st technique offer voltage of one.1V is taken to look at the power within the overall circuit. In second technique offer voltage of one.1V is taken and voltage given to inputs is about to zero and thence power and escape the power of projected circuits are reduced. The Designed SRAM cells are compared to Existing SRAM cells in term of power, escape power, SNM, RSNM, PULL UP ratio (PR), CELL quantitative relation (CR), Temperature and Voltage. The simulation meted out in Tanner EDA tool with 32nm technology at 1V and CADENCE VIRTUOSO tool with 45nm technology at 1.1V power offer severally.
