This article dealt with industrial engineering from the perspective of its appropriate incorporation into the organizational structure of a company. Industrial engineering is a relatively new multidisciplinary field of study which combines technical knowledge of engineering disciplines with knowledge of corporate governance. Industrial engineering strives for the most efficient use of the compa...

Natural and man-made hazards may affect industrial production sites by both direct losses (due to physical damage to assets and buildings) and indirect losses (production losses). Indirect losses, e.g. from production downtimes, can exceed direct losses multiple times. Thus, the vulnerability of industrial sectors to indirect losses is an important component of risk and its determination is an ...

We present a fully implemented industrial production system that is reconfigured by a multi-agent system and is controlled by standard industrial control technology. We focus on certain design principles that we found to be crucial in such integrations, and the main challenges we faced when interfacing agents with a real-world production system.

Paecilomyces lilacinus has potential for pests control. We aimed to analyze mycelial growth and spore production in P. lilacinus strains in several agro-industrial residues and commercial media. This study suggests alternative nutrient sources for fungi production and that the biotechnological potential of agro-industrial refuses could be employed in byproducts development.

the increasing use of styrene, for the production of thermoplastics and rubbers, has given a special importance to this vital materialin petrochemical industries. more than 95 per cent of styrene production in the world is by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. present styrene production units are basically designed on the basis of 1940s units. producing countries and related research centres have...

Industrial policy is the most important part of state global economy policy. One of its primary goals is to create advantageous economic-organizing conditions providing economy with stabilization and industrial production development. Long-term and purposeful industry policy research is particularly important for the Russian Federation, where industry always played a significant part in formati...
