Author(s): PARDEEP GUPTA
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a case study to demonstrate the TPM implementation methodology and to highlight the benefits achieved after TPM in an engineering industry XYZ Ltd. (name changed) situated in Mohali, Punjab. The improvements in key performance indicators (PQCDSM) after implementing the TPM proved that its implementation helped the company significantly to achieve higher productivity, customer satisfaction, morale and profits. The manufacturing cost reduced by 30%, overall equipment efficiency increased from 63% in 2010 to 84% after three years and productivity improved by 67%. The Company has won the TPM Excellence Award, Category-A in 2013 and after that continued implementing second phase of TPM. The findings of the study govern that the strategic TPM implementation can significantly contribute for the realization of operational excellence in almost all types of industry.

Abstract: Green networking is an important concern that currently acquires the attention in research. This paper explains an Energy aware cross layer optimization technique for Delay Tolerant Mobile Ad hoc Networks. Information sharing between Network Layer and Medium Access Control Layer has been utilized as an element to achieve the goal. Appropriate node selection strategy for data forwarding in Network Layer and minimizing idle listening by scanning the vicinity and discovering the knowledge of number of neighboring nodes in MAC Layer are the major factors considered for energy minimization. Energy Sensitive Routing Protocol (ESRP) minimizes ineffective energy utilization and Neighbor Table Responsive Asynchronous (NTRA) Energy Management MAC Protocol minimizes number of wake up slots based on the network status without losing network connectivity. Performance of the suggested cross layer approach is studied using NS-3 Simulator and observed that it outperforms the existing energy efficient
