The advantages and principles of using the concept of Lean-production in industrial enterprises and the place of Lean-management in the overall management system are discussed in the article. Well-known principles of economical production are universal, but each organization is unique, therefore, its principles corresponding to the sphere of activity of a particular enterprise will be formed. The uniqueness of the principles is formed on the basis of creating a map of flows of values. Application of the principles and tools of Lean management at the enterprise will improve the overall management system without breaking the structure of the management model. The advantage of introducing cost effective production will be to obtain a client-centered result. For the effective implementation of the Lean concept, enterprises need to identify, educate their leaders, train them, form a team, motivate staff, and show a personal example of the benefits of using Lean tools.

Green Management System (GMS) is an effort to protect the environment. With the depletion of natural resources, the protection of the environment is not only limited to a small part of its corporate social responsibility, but it must be a model in business organizations. Model GMS-oriented environment, will systematically affect the company in reducing waste, reducing the use of natural resources, reduce pollution and continuously monitoring the purpose of creating business results that were positive for all stakeholders. Modern business travel will continue to come under pressure from the environment and the realization of the company's sustainability strategy, the managers began to review the possibility of implementation of GMS in the management system of the organization; directs the management of the organization, developing technologies to reduce adverse environmental impact and develop the production of green (green production) more rational and cost-effective. Development and implementation of green policies in environmental management become an important part of the transformation of business management functions in optimizing the use of GMS to improve corporate performance and benefits for environmental sustainability. Direct implications for the development and implementation of environmental protection in the modern business organization in accordance with modern green standards and the principles of environmental sustainability and a company associated with the creation of the organization, program and structure, education and training of human resources will enable the transfer and dissemination of knowledge for environmental protection


Attendance taking and maintaining is a tedious job in the academic institutions where the time of class is restricted. The manual attendance i.e., roll call or paper-based signature systems usually consumes more time and error prone and also possibility of recording proxy attendance is more. Attendance is one of the criteria in considering students’ eligibility for attending the external examinations and also for the promotion to the next semester / year, where these kinds of problems may cause severe effect on the academic institutions. As the strength of students in a class is increasing day by day; monitoring, awarding and maintenance of attendance has becoming a challenge for the academic institutions. As a solution, attendance can be recorded using anyone of the existing biometric techniques like fingerprinting, iris recognition, signature, face recognition etc. Face identification is the best method among all the earlier mentioned methods for implementing in the academic institutions as it does not require human intervention and it is a cost-effective technique. A novel student attendance recording and management system using a MATLAB application, LabVIEW, Camera interface and GSM is proposed in this paper. Students’ faces will be captured with the help of a camera connected to a computer and Eigen values of the captured images will be detected with the help of MATLAB executed by LabVIEW Mathscript node. LabVIEW, a graphical programming environment is adopted for acquiring face, processing and authenticating the student once the match is found. Authenticated student attendance will be updated, and a message will be sent with the help of GSM module interface to myRIO. Proposed system replaces the manual attendance system which improves the performance of existing system.

The primary aim of a hospital Clinical Engineering Department (CED) is to ensure a safe and cost-effective operation of the medical devices. In order to achieve this goal, it needs to implement and establish a comprehensive biomedical technology management program, which is a complex and multidimensional task. This work presents a medical devices management software system to assist the CED in healthcare, and it appears, as a result, of an effort to re-engineer and rebuild such an old, successful management system. The findings of this re-engineering attempt are presented. The goal was the incorporation of the new trends in clinical engineering and medical devices management and the exploitation of the new capabilities provided by the modern software tools and platforms. The system is expected to respond to the changing healthcare environment demands, the increased efforts required, and the respective broader role that CEDs have to play.

A study is described that was conducted in response to the premature deterioration of dense friction course/open friction course (DFC/OFC) hot mix surfaces with steel slag aggregates in the greater Toronto area. The deterioration manifested itself in the form of severe raveling and early formation of map cracking. A network-level pavement management system (PMS) was applied to this unique problem. A pavement condition evaluation was conducted, and a steel slag DFC/OFC-specific deterioration model was developed. The application of the PMS has been efficient. It facilitated estimating the rehabilitation needs, prioritizing the rehabilitation strategies, and demonstrating the most cost-effective budget.
