Japan sets, mining equipment demand

EMFIS.COM - Tokyo 21:04:08 (www.emfis.com) In Japan, the Exchange may now properly gain. The Nikkei climbed 1.5 percent at the moment and moves so that after a long time again in the direction of the mark of 14,000 points. The export values in the face of a weakening yen breathe on. He stands with 103.76 to one U.S. dollar. As in other markets, so lay also in the Japanese stock market, the bank values. Since the losses from Citigroup turned out but not as severe as expected, market participants see a glimmer of hope on the horizon of the financial crisis. And long to courageously. The Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group may increase by 2.3 percent and Mitsubishi UFJ by 2.6 percent.
The focus was now to all firms in the construction and mining equipment. The increasing demand of mining companies in China and Russia, and the related positive outlook had to leave last Friday off at the U.S. stock market, the stock of Caterpillar by 13 percent. In the wake of today the values of Komatsu go up by 6.4 percent, Hitachi Construction Machinery of 5 percent and the Kubota Corp. by almost 9 percent.

VW wants to compete in Southeast Asia

VW VW Amarok could help the Wolfsburg to win the Southeast Asian market.
The pick-up VW Amarok is primarily developed for the South African market has been.
The rolling in the autumn to Europe but also has commercial vehicle sales opportunities in the Southeast Asian market (Asean), as. Bernd Osterloh, head of VW Works Council to the Financial Times Germany said. " "Partly because of poor road conditions, pick-ups in countries like Thailand and Vietnam are extremely popular."

Similar to India or China is also the Southeast Asian market is a growth market. In 2009 in Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, 1.8 million vehicles were sold. The market share of Wolfsburg, however, is currently at only 0.2 percent. Toyota's main competitors - which traditionally is in the pick-up business very much - has a share of 33 percent. One reason for the poor preparation of the VW to the Asean markets are high import duties. Our own work is not yet available, only a partial assembly in Indonesia. "From 200 000 units per year would be worth even one plant in Southeast Asia," Osterloh said in reference to the Amarok. "Vietnam as the location I would prefer." Concrete plans for the construction of a new production there has not yet.

A first step to conquer the Asean markets, has VW done with the participation in the small car specialist Suzuki. The Japanese manufacturer is building a plant in Thailand, could also benefit from the VW.

excavation production

1.2 Excavation Work Categories
In the context of excavation work, safety and shoring are only one
aspect. Excavation work in its entirety is anything involving mechanical
movement of the earth’s surface. Categorically it can be broken
down by sequence of work, as in Fig. 1.1. There are four major categories;
surface work—cut and fill, then construct production work; below
surface work—cut, construct production work, then cover it up; mining
and tunneling—cut then restore; and agricultural—cut, plow, and
plant. A single project usually can originate in any one of these categories
and involve all of them. There are unique safety issues associated
with each category. This book focuses on excavation and safety
issues surrounding below surface work.
Below surface work is the category of excavation work that OSHA
Subpart P was written for. In 1926.650(a) OSHA states the scope and
application. This subpart applies to all open excavations made in the
earth’s surface. Excavations are defined to include trenches.
OSHA 1926.651 applies to general excavation safety; however, 9 of
12 citations apply to work that involves excavated holes or trenches.
Only three citations—Exposure to Vehicular Traffic, Exposure to Falling
Loads, and Warning Systems for Mobile Equipment—apply to general
excavation work. OSHA 1926.652 and all the remaining appendices
apply to worker protection from cave-in. The entire 29 CFR Part 1926
Safety and Health Regulations for Construction apply to all construction
operations; however, OSHA Subpart P is specific to when
excavation work causes there to be a hole in the ground.

Waste-Free Manufacturing Plant

Fast Track to Waste-Free Manufacturing: Straight Talk from a Plant Manager (Manufacturing and Production)
Drawing from more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, John Davis gives you tools and techniques for eliminating anything that cannot be clearly established as value added. WFM is not a theory. It is a proven process, and one the author has successfully implemented. He shares with you from his own experiences in guiding manufacturers through this process. Davis fully details the journey of a factory that moved from mass to waste-free manufacturing in a matter of 24 months. This factory was nationally recognized by wall street analysts as an effective manufacturing model. You get to sit in on their meetings and learn from their triumphs and failures.
