Purpose: Lean manufacturing concept is most important to be used in an automobile industry system for reduction in the waste, which decreases the yield. The techniques used for implementing Lean concept are helpful to find the waste throughout the industry and suggest the techniques to get rid of from that waste. By these techniques without using much cost and labor we can reduce waste producin...

This study evaluated the effects of body weight and lean mass abnormalities on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in obstructive airways disease. Body weight, lean mass (using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), and HRQL (using the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)) were measured in 50 patients. Low lean mass was defined as a lean mass index (lean mass/height2) below the fifth perc...

BACKGROUND Lean mass and resting energy expenditure (REE) decrease with age. However, it is unknown whether age-related changes in regional lean and fat mass are responsible for the age-related decrease in REE. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine how regional lean and fat mass vary with age and whether age is independently related to REE after adjustment for regional fat and lean mass. ...

INTRODUCTION During the last decade the emphasis in animal production has switched from promoting maximum or near maximum growth to altering the efficiency and composition of growth, and the enhancement of lean tissue growth or protein accretion. These changes have been brought about by increasing consumer demand for leaner meat products, and the realization that at the same level of feed or en...

We evaluated the EchoMRI-900 combination rat and mouse quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) body composition method in comparison to traditional whole-body chemical carcass composition analysis (CCA) for measurements of fat and fat-free mass in rodents. Live and postmortem (PM) QMR fat and lean mass measurements were obtained for lean, obese and outbred strains of rats and mice, and compared w...

lean thinking requires certain techniques and tools to support lean processing and to penetrate an organization in which 5s system (sorting, set in order, shining, standardization, sustaining) is to develop value process workflow system. kanban, a card containing a set of manufacturing specifications and requirements used to regulate the supply of components, is one of the most famous and impor...

The hydraulic conductivity (K) represents an important hydrophysical parameter in a porous media. K direct measurements, usually demand a lot of work, are expensive and time consuming. Factors such as the media spatial variability, sample size, measurement method, and changes in the sample throughout the experiment directly affect K evaluations. One alternative to K measurement is computer simu...
