This study proposed a method of obtaining the type and quantity of equipment in factories by inquiring environmental impact assessment reports, which greatly improves the efficiency of gathering factory information. Thereafter, by combining on-site measurement and numerical modelling, the noise maps of an automobile industrial area were constructed. The exposed population under different noise levels were evaluated using the noise maps. The results indicated that noise pollution at nighttime in the study area was more severe than that during daytime, with 523 people (1.08%) and 1,357 people (2.81%) exposed to excessive noise levels during daytime and nighttime, respectively. In addition, this study also constructed a low-frequency industrial noise map. The methods and results of the present study can provide novel technical path for construction and analysis of large-scale industrial noise map.

Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, literature has often featured themes glorifying industry under the guidance of national policies. However, a group of post-1970s and -80s writers in China express a unique perspective on factory scenes in their works, deviating significantly from mainstream Realism. This article focuses on Lunei’s 路內 “The Following Trilogy” (Young Babylon, On the Trail of Her Travels, and Lost in Daicheng 戴城) to observe how the writer, as a witness at the edge of an era, depicts the aesthetic ambiance shaped by factory narratives, thereby reflecting social reality. Compared to other writers, two features set Lunei’s works apart. First, through the intertextuality of sounds, smells, relics, and factories, a poetic “ruin-spirit” space is constructed. The novels are also characterized by the presence of disabled individuals and societal “cancer cells,” symbolizing the confusion and disillusionment of the turn of the century, which are subtly embedded in the narrative. How does Lunei construct the aesthetics of the ruins in the space of the factory? How does he reflect and inquire into the changes of the times in his decadent writing? How does he combine the conscious personal history with the unconscious writing of the times, so as to show his social concern and shape the generation’s redemption of the past, perception of the present, and warning for the future? These are several questions explored in this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article dives into the tradition of beer brewing from the middle of the 19th century in the historical region of Háromszék, the area known today as Covasna county, Romania. From the smallest brewhouses located in villages which only fulfilled the local needs to the large factories in the towns of Sepsiszentgyörgy (Sf. Gheorghe) and Kézdivásárhely (Tg. Secuiesc) supplying even the surrounding regions, the study also sheds light on the familial relations between brewery owners, their products as well as on what remains today of the once remarkable breweries.

A workshop, as a crowded place, is quite easy to cause serious casualties and economic losses once there is a fire. In this paper, Pathfinder software was used to simulate fire emergency evacuation in a workshop of a large factory with building structural symmetry. According to the simulation results, several obstacles to the evacuation were discovered and further analyzed. The results showed that the main factors affecting the evacuation were the width of exits, the distribution of occupants and the effective evacuation width of stairs. Among them, only changing the width of exits had little influence on shortening evacuation time. While changing the effective evacuation width of stairs could greatly relieve the evacuation pressure, every increase of 0.5 m in the width of the staircase could shorten the evacuation time by 30.0 s. Meanwhile, the larger the number of people in high-rise buildings, the longer the evacuation time was. Therefore, the means of restricting people from entering the high-rise buildings in batches could be used to prevent personnel from being evacuated in time when a fire incident occurs.

Factories are transforming not only mechanically and technologically but also architecturally due to emerging developments in the industry and fabrication: This new process, called the Second Machine Age or Industry 4.0, a new model is designed in production by providing the human-machine partnership over a virtual network. It is aimed that the machines used in production and the people participating in different stages of production can work in different spaces. In time, jobs that require human power will be replaced by robots, and a new order is being considered where there will be no people in production spaces, and they can work in the virtual environment. Production for human beings is mostly from material production to digital production; labour will turn into digital labour. For this reason, it is thought that production spaces will turn into smart factories with only machines and production robots and no workers. And now the question is: what is a smart factory? The revolutions in the industry history started with the invention of the steam engine; then, new technological revolutions were experienced with the use of electricity in production, the development of automation systems and internet-based systems. While technology and production tools are constantly changing, these developments also affect production spaces. Factories are also transforming to keep up with these rapid and continuous physical and fictional innovations. This study focuses on the architectural evolution of factories by following the technological revolutions of the industry. It examines the main criteria in the process of change and transformation of factories and spatial reflections of the revolutions. It establishes a relationship between production technology and the needs of the production spaces and seeks references from past samples. The study aims to review the historical background for generating a projection to new production spaces and to be a new discussion for future factories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent advances in natural language processing enable more intelligent ways to support knowledge sharing in factories. In manufacturing, operating production lines has become increasingly knowledge-intensive, putting strain on a factory's capacity to train and support new operators. This paper introduces a Large Language Model (LLM)-based system designed to retrieve information from the extensive knowledge contained in factory documentation and knowledge shared by expert operators. The system aims to efficiently answer queries from operators and facilitate the sharing of new knowledge. We conducted a user study at a factory to assess its potential impact and adoption, eliciting several perceived benefits, namely, enabling quicker information retrieval and more efficient resolution of issues. However, the study also highlighted a preference for learning from a human expert when such an option is available. Furthermore, we benchmarked several commercial and open-sourced LLMs for this system. The current state-of-the-art model, GPT-4, consistently outperformed its counterparts, with open-source models trailing closely, presenting an attractive option given their data privacy and customization benefits. In summary, this work offers preliminary insights and a system design for factories considering using LLM tools for knowledge management.

We are living within a transformation that has been variously labelled as industrial revolution 4.0, platform economy, digital capitalism. Nevertheless, this change is still mainly conceptualized through the vocabulary of factory system. In this article we aim to contribute to the development of an emerging framework on the 'new capitalism' without any nostalgia for the past by exploring some of its potential interpretative categories (pipeline, algorithmic subjectivities, mobile struggles), based in particular on its spatial configurations and on the production of living labour' subjectivities. Indeed, we are witnessing not simply a wave of technological innovation but a more general transformation of the forms of capitalist valorisation which rely on the role played by spaces and social cooperation. These changes do not affect only spatialities but also the subjective forms of living labour, including his/her practices of organization and struggle.

Workers who are working in dusty environments might be associated with respiratory health problems. In Ethiopia, factories processing wood, textile, coffee, flour, cement and other materials are associated with dust emission. Furthermore, despite the adoption of the International Labor Organization (ILO) convention, the available constitution and labor proclamation, there are a lot of gaps in terms of occupational health and safety measures in Ethiopia. The current review aims to examine the existing evidence, current challenges and future direction regarding dust exposure and respiratory health in selected Ethiopian factories. Searches of peer-reviewed articles with full-length papers were made in online databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar with a key words “Dust exposure”, “Respiratory health”, “Respiratory symptom”, “Ethiopia” and “Factory workers” from January 2000 to March 2023. The review found that excessive dust exposure is associated with a high prevalence of respiratory health problems. Lack of personal protective equipment and absence of safety and health training were the main occupational health deficits identified in most factories. Actions that focus on these deficiencies are commendable. Interventions focused on safety and health trainings, and the provision of adequate personal protective equipment of the required quality is recommended. In addition, administrative solutions and longitudinal studies on dust exposure and respiratory health are suggested.

The article considers the possibility and limits of reconstructing the memorial landscape of the Ural town-factory based on the materials of student folklore practical studies in the late Soviet era. The author reveals the stable motifs of the legends connected with the history of the founding of the industrial settlement of Kaslee, as well as with the specifics of the ethnic interaction between Russian settlers and the local population. The article also defines the “places of memory” in folklore materials. The study shows how the scientific and methodological attitudes of folklorists and the methods of interaction between collectors and informants are reflected in the collection of field archival materials from a particular area. The memorial landscape reconstructed according to folklore data tells both about the past of Kaslee and the present, as the perspective of such a description of the past is determined by the present. Archival folklore materials are an example of a combination of practices of communicative and cultural memories. In this aspect, the place of “songs about the city” is also determined in the article. The authors believe that “empty cells” – lacunae of archival memory, about which the informants did not tell and/or the collectors did not ask, are significant elements of this memorative landscape. The stories related to the accident at the Mayak chemical plant in 1957 and the environmental agenda in general become such subjects of silence. The article will be useful to folklorists and anyone interested in the problems of memory in folklore materials, as an attempt to apply the methods of folklore and anthropology to the practice of memory studies.

This work seeks to reconstruct and analyze the theoretical-ideological references that encouraged the experience of the Peronist Armed Forces and Base Peronism (FAP - PB), two of the most important organizations of the alternative current of revolutionary Peronism during the 70's. The FAP-PB assumed an organizational form, a power strategy, a conception of the revolution and a position in Peronism that differentiated them from the rest of the hegemonic organizations of the new left. We believe that this experience can be put into dialogue with the theoretical-conceptual development of three theoretical references of the Marxist tradition: Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci's council stage and the experience of Italian operaism in the 60's and 70's. Our objective is to provide a theoretical and political framework, which allows us to critically rethink the experience of basism in Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on adopting cybersecurity procedures in Chilean manufacturing companies in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s data-driven demands, which have exposed vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. This analysis is based on data from the Fifth Longitudinal Survey of Companies - ELE 5 - conducted by the National Institute of Statistics. Using the TOE adoption model, we employ binary and ordered Logit and Probit models with data from 574 companies and 17 explanatory variables. The objective is to gain insight into the factors influencing the adoption of cybersecurity processes, complementing the existing literature, which often focuses on developing specific technologies or conducting comprehensive analyses of digital transformation. The study highlights the significance of company size in explaining the adoption of cybersecurity procedures and reveals the relevance of explanatory variables as the depth of adoption increases. The findings underscore the need for public policies that facilitate the implementation of existing regulations, such as ISO 27.001, particularly for small companies. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of fostering a “culture of cybersecurity” across different sectors of society.

This article delves into the organization, execution, and significance of industrial practice at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute during the late 1920's and early 1930's, utilizing archival materials and scholarly literature. The article highlights the transition from summer industrial practice, which had inherent organizational issues, to continuous industrial practice, involving a regular alternation of theoretical and industrial training throughout students' tenure at the institute. This approach allocated a significant portion (up to 40--50%) of study time to industrial training directly related to student' specialties, with faculty commissions overseeing its organization. The article acknowledges that some students initially resisted this practice, often citing various reasons for their unwillingness, leading to the institute's efforts to address these challenges. Despite persistent issues, branch institutes stemming from KPI, such as Kyiv Machine-Building, Kyiv Energy, and Kyiv Institute of Chemical Technology, actively participated in the production process. They contributed to the development of industrial training methodologies, program creation, planning, and the selection of experienced instructors. Moreover, the early 1930s saw notable advancements in production training at institutes like Kharkov mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, Dnepropetrovsk mining, and Nikolaev shipbuilding. The article provides insights into the educational landscape, everyday life, and industrial practice at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute during this era, shedding light on vocational training, factories, and student experiences.

This article aims to describe the city of Chișinău as a true center of artistic metal processing. Here there were jewelry making workshops, the Jewelry Factory, the Jewelry Workshops of Plastic Fund, most of the notorious jewelers worked here. Chișinău, rightly, was and remains the core of the development of metal art in the current space of the Republic of Moldova. From a chronological point of view, four stages of development of the city from the perspective of the metal art were outlined: 1812–1917; 1918–1940; 1945–1991 and the period after the proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Moldova. Both fine artists and those who practiced metal art viewed the Chișinău city not only as a socio-economic and cultural center, but also as a source of inspiration to pay a well-deserved tribute to the city (A. Marco, enameled plaque Măzărache Church in Chișinău; V. Vasilkov, set of articles for the Civil Status Office, Central Sector, Chișinău, Gh. Cojușnean, the pendant The City in the Evening and the small sculpture Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin in Chișinău).

Este artículo expone y reflexiona de forma crítica sobre el proyecto de investigación artística Ocio en la fábrica, que gira alrededor de la relación entre ocio y trabajo a partir de tres espacios de ocio del polígono Pla d'en Boet de Mataró (un bar, un gimnasio y un local de camas elásticas) en los que tres actrices son contratadas para llevar a cabo las actividades habituales en ellos. Remunerar a las actrices para realizar actividades de ocio se convierte en un acto simbólico de imbricar ocio y trabajo dentro de espacios industriales reconvertidos en espacios de ocio. Este artículo complementa los resultados videográficos y documentales del proceso de trabajo con una explicación detallada de su proceso, de las tomas de decisión y de las reflexiones conceptuales que lo hicieron posible. This article exposes and critically reflects on the artistic research project Ocio en la Fábria (Leisure in the factory), which revolves around the relationship between leisure and work based on three leisure spaces in the Pla d’en Boet industrial estate in Mataró —a bar, a gym and a local trampolines— in which three actresses are hired to carry out the usual activities in them. Paying actresses to carry out these leisure activities becomes a symbolic act of interweaving leisure and work within industrial spaces previously converted into leisure spaces. This paper complements the videographic and documentary results of the work process with a detailed explanation of its process, the decision-making and the conceptual reflections that made it possible.

Directional measurements of over 2600 links in four distinct factories at 28 GHz are used to formulate the path gain and azimuth gain models to allow reliable 90% coverage estimates. A simple theoretical model of path gain, dependent on ceiling and clutter heights, is found to represent path gain across the four factories with 4.4 dB root-mean-square error (RMSE), contrasted with 6.9 dB slope-intercept fit and 8.5–14.9 dB RMSE for 3GPP factory models. The model also did well against 3.5 GHz path loss data collected over 18 MHz bandwidth in one of the factories, with an RMSE of 3.3 dB. In nonline-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, scattering reduces available antenna azimuth gain from nominal value by up to 7.3 dB in 90% of links. Line-of-sight (LOS) blockage by a 1.7 m × 1 m obstacle in factory aisle leads to 7 dB signal reduction, attributed to availability of other paths. It is found that an access point (AP) using 25 dBm transmit power per polarization, with 23 dBi nominal gain and omnidirectional terminals, supporting $2\times $ 2 MIMO in a 400 MHz bandwidth, can provide 130 Mb/s for 90% of factory locations within 50 m.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the operation of the Arms and Machines Factory "Arma" in Lviv. It was one of the first armaments companies in the Second Republic. The company made great contributions to the work of rebuilding Poland after the end of World War I, and from then on, by fulfilling the orders of the Polish Army, had an impact on the security and defense of the country. The study is based on archival materials collected in Poland and Ukraine, published sources, the press and scientific studies.

Background: Occupational noise exposure is one of the environmental factors that pose safety and health risks among workers in factories. This systematic review focuses on the activities that cause noise hazards toward workers’ heart rate, other physiological conditions, and strategies to prevent noise exposure in the manufacturing industry. Methods: Through a comprehensive literature review, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and the Cochrane method were used. The appraisal of quality was conducted by using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) to fulfil the selected keywords. Results: Occupational noise exposure not only affects the workers’ most common issues, such as heart rate, but also other physiological factors, such as blood pressure. The outcome showed that different level of continuous noise exposure with high intensity decibels affects the heart rate of the workers. Source, path, receiver was recommended strategies for basic noise prevention in engineering control. Conclusion: Therefore, noise give significant effects towards human workers in related industry. Study related to noise effects towards heart rate performance led to future prevention and innovation.

The paper investigates the factory in the context of a multinational corporation. The historical-structural background for capturing the changes in the factory is both post-socialism and the conditions of neoliberalism. Drawing on conceptualizations from critical sociology, critical approaches to neoliberalism, and new working-class studies, the author focuses on how the structural transformation of socioeconomic conditions translates into the work in the factory and what implications this has for how workers and managers experience work and their own identities. Based on ethnographic research at the Baťa shoe factory, I identify a culture of precarious responsibility, which I characterize through four dimensions: management's disengagement from responsibility, workers' assumption of responsibility, the imposition of economization.

This paper explores the representations of factories in video games, in relation to dystopian fictional worlds. The representation of the factory, its role in video game storytelling, its connection with game design elements, are connected to the ways in which this building is a concrete embodiment of a dystopic system of power. The research is introduced by a brief survey of factories in video games. Then, this paper presents three progressive models, linked to three concrete examples: Beyond Good & Evil (Ubisoft, 2003), Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (The Chinese Room, 2013) and NieR: Automata (Platinum Games, 2017). Finally, the contribution ends with a fourth category, linked to explicitly political video games.

Alfonso Brunet was a civil engineer born in San Sebastian into a family of industrialists, merchants and bankers, who built and started up the first hydraulically powered esparto-making factory in Cieza in 1867. We study his life history, that of his family and the history of this factory, which is still preserved in Cieza and which we claim as industrial heritage of our city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Additionally, a guidebook was created to evaluate the suitability and appropriateness of the health literacy of the workers to prevent depression.Methods: This study applied a mixed method from May 2019 to May 2020. Two-stage sampling was used to recruit samples. A total of 416 workers were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. Moreover, 20 stakeholders enrolled in two focus group discussions (FGDs) using a semi-structured interview questionnaire to explore situations and develop a guidebook. Descriptive statistical, multivariable logistic regression, and content analysis were applied to analyze the data. Both quantitative and qualitative data were used in the development of the guidebook, which were further tested and evaluated by interviewing the 20 stakeholders.Results: Depression was found in 17.1% of the workers. Job position (adjusted odds ratio [ORadj] = 7.14), hours of online media use (ORadj = 1.87), moody/anxious (ORadj = 5.35), avoiding people (ORadj = 9.12), and self-behavior modification to prevent depression (ORadj = 2.41) were associated with significant depression. The FGDs revealed that stakeholders had blurred perceptions of stress and depression. The sample of industrial factory workers was subjected to workload time constraints but had low level of screening for depression. Online media was used only for working in industries. The guidebook was very interesting and useful for stakeholders and contained definitions and symptoms of depression, self-screening and self-care strategies, consultation and hotline contacts, and health literacy improvement guidelines for factory and health personnel to prevent depression.Conclusion: This study confirmed that online media and health literacy were imperative factors to address depression among workers in industrial factories. The guidebook was developed based on health literacy and help prevent depression among workers in industrial settings.Keywords: health literacy, labor, intervention, factory, industry

This study aims to analyze the pollution level caused by the activity of the Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP) factory in Grogol District, Kediri Regency. This research is the mixed of the survey and qualitative case study, the research location is in Bakalan village, Grogol District, Kediri Regency. Interview, scale, observation, and documentation were done for data collection. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and qualitative data analysis were employed for data analysis. The results showed a significant effect of the activity of AMP Factory on air quality. The main source of air pollutant concentration on AMP machines is in the dryer and bitumen heating tanks. The concentration of pollutants emitted from AMP machine consists of gas flow of 0.51 m3/sec, total dust concentration of 9640 mg/Nm3, suspected particle of 220 mg/Nm3, concentrations of SO2 of 540 mg/Nm3, gas emission level of 15.3 m3/tonne, dust emission level of 0.145 kg/tonne, estimated particle emission level of 0.0033 kg/tonne, and SO2 emission level of 0.0083 kg/tonne. Thus, testing the air pollutant concentration in areas within a

Knowing energy performance level of an energy consumer is essential for substantiating the decisions for development, operation and maintenance. Energy performance level is highlighted through consecrated indicators which are obtained by means of energy balance. The present paper is a synthesis of electric energy balance that was done within a mixed fodder factory (MFF). In the first part a short presentation of the consumer (MFF) is presented and also analysis methodology. After that we refer to specificities regarding the energy balance model (EB) applied and to characterization elements of typical processes for MFF. An important part of the paper is dedicated to present the obtained results and the energy performance level. In the last part of the paper we present the conclusion of energy audit (EA) and the recommendations to improve the energy performance level.

This article deals with the history of the concept manufaktura that came about in the Czech historiography after 1948. Based on an examination of period economic, dictionary and historical writing samples from 17th–20th century, the article shows which intellectual traditions this term is based upon and which ones it developed. At a general level, it deals with the construction of the terms that historians use and the synonyms that are (not) to be found in the sources. This article attempts to show that the concept of manufactory was not only the result of ideological hegemony in the social sciences and humanities, which was enforced in Eastern Europe after the Second World War. Nor can it be dismissed with references to “ideological ballast” with “extensive factographic heuristics” behind it, as the Marxist historiography is sometimes interpreted. Rather than by adopting the binary view which distinguishes between a “Marxist veneer” and “factography” within the history of historiography, this study shows that a concept of manufactory builds upon a number of texts (and contexts) that came about long before the Communist coup d’etat.

With the proclamation of the Republic in 1923, Turkey began to experience modernization. Sivas as an Anatolian city has its own regional modernization practice in parallel with the nation-state modernization. Between the period of 1930-1950, Sivas was developed by factories and after the 1950s, public buildings with campuses were added to the modern city. As a consequence, city morphology expanded to the south and west and the traditional-modern dilemma became evident in the urban area.

The construction of an electron–positron collider ‘Higgs factory’ has been stalled for a decade, not because of feasibility but because of the cost of conventional radio-frequency (RF) acceleration. Plasma-wakefield acceleration promises to alleviate this problem via significant cost reduction based on its orders-of-magnitude higher accelerating gradients. However, plasma-based acceleration of positrons is much more difficult than for electrons. We propose a collider scheme that avoids positron acceleration in plasma, using a mixture of beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration to high energy for the electrons and conventional RF acceleration to low energy for the positrons. We emphasise the benefits of asymmetric energies, asymmetric bunch charges and asymmetric transverse emittances. The implications for luminosity and experimentation at such an asymmetric facility are explored and found to be comparable to conventional facilities; the cost is found to be much lower. Some of the areas in which R&D is necessary to make HALHF a reality are highlighted, including estimates for the improvement required in key technologies. These range from a factor of 10 to a factor of 1000.

The main purpose of this study is to optimize the parameters of the technological process of manufacturing parts by embossing in Industry 4.0. A multifunctional queuing system in relation to production was used for the research. We took the example of a production line at the plant, which demonstrates the functionality of the technological process of production and processing of parts by embossing. We achieved the strategic goals of the research due to a complex combination of detailed studies of the parameters of the technological process by modeling. The method is implemented in the FlexSim simulation system with a real set of data. In the process of production of details, it is possible to use the equipment of various quality. Its analysis shows that the effectiveness of even the most modern technological line depends to a greater extent on the performance of its weakest element, unit or part. In particular, in the production of stamping parts the weakest element is a stamp. Research, modeling and calculation of its surfaces, in particular by the method of finite elements make it possible to identify problem areas of the stamp and strengthen them by calculating with using this method. A simulation model of a part of the production process is created and the stages of production are analyzed. We take into account that the implementation of such processes is accompanied by the formation of queues of parts or products that come from the manufacturer for further processing on the conveyor.

If we compare the social organization of factories in Japan and in the United States, then there is a discrepancy which can immediately be noted and continues to dominate and represents a large part of all the differences between the two systems. At any level of Japanese factory organization, at the time of the company for the rest of his remaining career. The company will not dismiss him even if only temporarily, except in the usual broad circumstances. He will not leave the company to work in another industry. He is a member of the company in such a way as to resemble membership in a family; fraternal organizations and members of personal and intimate groups in the United States. This lifelong commitment is well-proven because there are rarely exceptions, and the permanent relationship between workers and companies that imposes duties and responsibilities on both workers and employers differs from the employment practices and employee-company relations that exist in the United States. The difference between the two systems is of course not absolute, only a matter of level. The reluctance of workers to leave the company on the one hand and the reluctance of the company to lay off workers on the other, are constant factors in American relations; Japanese companies will lay off workers, and workers sometimes also leave work. However, the differences are quite large, and the consequences and implications will appear repeatedly throughout the description of this great Japanese factory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At present it appears that the greatest need in Japanese factories is for methods of production which generally have an opposite effect to American methods. The American mode of production was planned to further minimize the labor component and to immersize and rationalize organizations; while the Japanese need is a production system that can make the most of the manpower in a personalized relationship system. Such a system can be thought of and such changes can be developed, but the necessary changes cannot be developed in the American setting. It can only be developed in one factory system such as in Japan. Rather than Japanese experts making brief visits by airplanes to American factories or giving short-term advice by American consultants in Japan, it seemed more advantageous for Japanese factories to have advisors, trained health workers, regardless of nationality, are bound to work long periods of time in one factory. They can study the plant organization and its methods and then assist in developing productivity problem solutions. So, rather than regular consultants or technical advisors, it is better if advisors are part of the system. Then, knowing very well the local practices, needs and work within the system, they can help procure the equipment and methods that are compatible with the production system currently being operated in the large factories.
