ABSTRACT: Safety practices and performance in a brewery industry in Nigeria was evaluated for a period of eight years between 2000 – 2007 using the principles of statistical expectation and efficiency index. The number of prevented accidents and the corresponding values of lives and property saved were estimated annually for the same period of eight years. The type of input resource, total number of input resources, total number of prevented accidents by class, the unit cost of each of the ...
ABSTRACT Local production of elechodes. in Nigeria has always bpb~y m ajor manufachmrs. The technical partrsers have maintained that there are no suitable substiW!es for the raw materials locally in an attempt to continue b import from *eit. 'h~.~coqn@esOu r effort at .lpwl sourcing required experimentation. Mi could not be carried out without a Wns of applying the coatmg to. the wire. This was effected through a direct exhder. which was fabricated to mat eWodes.pnder manual presswe .bu@ up t...

ABSTRACT In an attempt to facilitate the processing of vegetable material which is a daily nutritional food requirement of man, a vegetable slicing machine has been developed. This paper therefore presents the developmerit of a vegeuble slicing machine which is a mechantcat device that is used for slicing vegetable materials instead of the cnlde cumbersome and unhygienic method of manual slicing of vegetable materials. l*he dwdoped machine consists ofthe hopper, the cutter housing, the cuttin...
Abstract The manufacture of abrasive grains in igeria has been severely impeded by the difficulty of identifying suitable local raw materials and the associated local formulation for abrasives with global quality standards. This paper presents a study on the formulation and manufacture of silicon carbide abrasives using locally sourced raw materials in igeria. Five local raw material substitutes were identified through pilot study and with the initial mix of the identified materials, a system...
Abstract The ‘City Logistics’ activities are contributing to traffic congestion and accumulating to environmental challenges, such situation has prompted the creation of urban consolidation centre (UCC), as a multimodal logistics park facility in the outskirts. The relocation of business from city to the outskirts requires the evaluation and assessment of the key factors in order to make the better decisions. However, no relocation decisions evaluation model has been found, neither its ap...
