Impact of the Lean Thinking on the Rationalization Costs & Achieving Customer Satisfaction: An applied Research at Ur State company Electrical Cables industries
...Show More Authors

The research explored the impact of applying lean thinking With all that carries this term of goals, trends, principles, foundations and concepts, The possibility of applying it in institutions, including Ur public company, an industrial company, And the only one in Iraq specialized in the manufacture of cables, Electrical Wires and the aluminum industry ,Which has been applied to the curriculum of lean thinking , The problem of research is that the institutions, including the company (research sample), adopt and practice traditional administrative, financial and technical methods without relying on modern curricula and ideas, including the subject of our research, In order to achieve the research objectives, the research was divided into four chapters.According to what was discussed in both theoretical and practical aspect of the research, the researcher reached a number of conclusions and recommendations, and the most important conclusions are:

  • An important aspect of lean thinking philosophy is to identify activities that add value from that do not add value and try to get rid of them or reduce them because they do not add value to the customer, and he is unprepared and unable to put an alternative to it. Lean thinking has given importance to the time and was keen to remove the losses in time, both the time of the worker or the waiting time of the customer, And as an important resource in an era of rapid changes in desires and needs and technological changes.
  • The research points to the benefits of lean thinking, which are improvements at the operational, administrative and strategic levels, Each of them has been divided into many benefits that have a positive impact if lean thinking was applied to them It is comprehensive benefits and extend to include all aspects of the internal institution and its relationship with the external aspects including the customer, distributors, suppliers and others who represent an integral mass for the benefit of all.
  • Many of the lean thinking tools have been applied to the research, These tools have helped the institution to apply lean thinking, each tool has its function including workplace regulation and visual control, continuous improvement, avoiding over-inventory and loss of time, The work mechanism of the flow and withdrawal systems, the identification of activities that add value and avoid errors, defects and accidents, the level and diversity of the product mix and the identification of sufficient time, maintenance, holidays identification, reduction of preparation and installation time, manpower empowerment , analysis of the root causes of problems and identification of defects and problems in production processes All these tools transferred the institution from an institution that follows the traditional methods in processing production processes to the concept of achieving the objectives of the institution in short, medium and long term and the most important objectives is the perspective of the client, which institution's seeks to win the satisfaction.The most important recommendations are:
  • The necessity to adopt the five principles of the lean thinking referred to by the research which is:
  1. Determining the value, desires and needs of the customer in order to achieve his satisfaction, And satisfaction is achieved through competitive price of competitive goods in the market, high quality and shorter Preparation time.
  2. By determining the value stream for each product family to identify activities and times that add value from that does not add value and make the delivery period shorter, and continuously improve processes through the sunburn of Kaizen.
  3. Executing the pull, i.e. strengthening the connection and communication between the company and the customer. This is done by strengthening the relations between them through advertising the company's products, and knowing what the customer needs and wants and hear the customer's voice.
  4. The application of the flow, through the identification of the requirements, including strengthening the relationship with the supplier of raw materials and the preparation of working cadres and machines and machinery, and through the speed of information access to the company. The process of creating a realistic flow is reliable and this is based on the application of lean tools, which dealt with the research in some detail, Applying it is the main source that prevents the occurrence of losses and waste in the resources of the company.
  • The necessity to pay attention to the activity of the marketing department, being the guide and promoter of the company's products in the local markets and the need to strengthen relations with ministries and companies requesting the product, including the Ministry of Electricity and companies of the Ministry of Industry and companies of the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the Ministry of Defense and Oil and work to increase the marketing outlets of the company in the rest of the provinces and not limited to the offices of Baghdad and Basra.
  • The necessity to deal with the cases of factories suspended from work by taking adequate measures and conducting studies regarding their operation or disposal, as the company incurs additional costs and burdens that increase the expenses of the company.
  • The necessity to treat the cases of the increasing in spending on the element of direct wages as it burdens the company by increasing a basic element of the costs elements, which increases the cost of the product.

Seed priming of sorghum cultivars by gibberellic and salicylic acids to improve seedling growth under irrigation with saline water
...Show More Authors

An experiment was conducted in pots under field conditions during fall seasons of 2017 and 2018. This study aimed to improve a weak growth of seedlings under salt stress in sorghum. Three factors were studied. 1st factor was three cultivars (Inqath, Rabeh, and Buhoth70). 2nd factor was seed priming (primed and unprimed seed). Seed were primed by soaking for 12 hours in a solution containing 300 + 70 mg L−1 of gibberellic (GA3) and salicylic (SA) acids, respectively. 3rd factor was irrigation with saline water (6, 9 and 12 dS m−1) resulting from dissolving sodium chloride in distilled water in addition to control treatment (distilled water). Randomized complete block design was used with four replications. In both seasons: the results sh

Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of some new Schiff bases derivatives derived from 4-formylphenyl-2-(2,3-dimethylphenylamino) benzoate
...Show More Authors

New derivatives of Schiff bases were synthesized from the aldehyde derivative (Ma2) which was produced by reacting the mefenamic acid (Ma) with thionyl chloride to obtain the acid halide derivative (Ma1). Compound (Ma1) was dissolved in DMF and mixed with p-hydroxybenzaldehyde which was previously dissolved with pyridine to obtain the aldehyde derivative (Ma2). In the final step, derivatives of Schiff bases were synthesized by reacting the aldehyde (Ma2) with a number of different aromatic primary amines in the presence of glacial acetic acid to obtain the new derivatives Ma [3-10]. The new prepared compounds were characterized by melting points and with spectral data FT-IR, 13C-NMR and 1H-MNR (some of them). The vital effectiven

Investigation of evaluated temperature oxidation for IN-738 LC superalloy turbine blade thermally coated by AL2O3 using slurry coating process
...Show More Authors

The study aims to investigate the effect of Al2O3 and Al additions to Nickel-base superalloys as a coating layer on oxidation resistance, and structural behavior of nickel superalloys such as IN 738 LC. Nickel-base superalloys are popular as base materials for hot components in industrial gas turbines such as blades due to their superior mechanical performance and high-temperature oxidation resistance, but the combustion gases' existence generates hot oxidation at high temperatures for long durations of time, resulting in corrosion of turbine blades which lead to massive economic losses. Turbine blades used in Iraqi electrical gas power stations require costly maintenance using traditional processes regularly. These blades are made

Subsurface Flow Phytoremediation Using Barley Plants for Water Recovery from Kerosene-Contaminated Water: Effect of Kerosene Concentration and Removal Kinetics
...Show More Authors

A phytoremediation experiment was carried out with kerosene as a model for total petroleum hydrocarbons. A constructed wetland of barley was exposed to kerosene pollutants at varying concentrations (1, 2, and 3% v/v) in a subsurface flow (SSF) system. After a period of 42 days of exposure, it was found that the average ability to eliminate kerosene ranged from 56.5% to 61.2%, with the highest removal obtained at a kerosene concentration of 1% v/v. The analysis of kerosene at varying initial concentrations allowed the kinetics of kerosene to be fitted with the Grau model, which was closer than that with the zero order, first order, or second order kinetic models. The experimental study showed that the barley plant designed in a subsu

A Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm with System Reduction and Restoration for Rapid and Reliable Power Flow Solution of Power Systems
...Show More Authors

The paper presents a highly accurate power flow solution, reducing the possibility of ending at local minima, by using Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) with system reduction and restoration. The proposed method (RCGA) is modified to reduce the total computing time by reducing the system in size to that of the generator buses, which, for any realistic system, will be smaller in number, and the load buses are eliminated. Then solving the power flow problem for the generator buses only by real-coded GA to calculate the voltage phase angles, whereas the voltage magnitudes are specified resulted in reduced computation time for the solution. Then the system is restored by calculating the voltages of the load buses in terms
