    Adding a new smart block production line for a brick factory
    (2024-02-25) KareemKalboneh; KhalilHawash; ZaidJrab
    Abstract An established factory is considering implementing a new production line for smart blocks, which adopts a new kind of concrete block that allows easier installation and reduced manpower to handle them. Still, this type of block is considered new and hasnever been seen before in Palestine,which makes it more challenging to introduce a new product to the already established industry.The addition of this production line will allow the factory to diversify its product offerings and potentially increase its profits by challenging the traditional block in price, handling and quality. Data analysis shows that there is a high demand for concrete blocks in the market from a questionnaire done and implemented in the study in the form of facts and conclusions implemented in every detail, and the implementation of this production line is likely to be financially viable. The new line will be efficient, with a high output and low waste. It will also utilize the latest technology to ensure the highest quality concrete blocks are produced, enabling the business to challenge the traditional thoughts of construction projects.In conclusion, establishing a production line for concrete blocks in this established factory is a good business decision. The high demand for concrete blocks, combined with the efficient and technologically advanced nature, makes it a promising opportunity for the factory to increase its profits and broaden its product offerings.

    A Study for Designing a Layout of a Washing Machine Assembly Line in Palestine
    (2024-02-19) Wafaa Fawzi Ziada
    Abstract To complete the fulfillment of the requirements of the first graduation project, a study for designing a layout for a washing machine assembly line in Palestine. That concentrated on defining the product with its main components and subcomponents, the Flow Process Chart was used in defining and clarifying the sequence for each operating system of the washing machine and for the assembly line processes and operations, and a technical study was done for a technical possibility of manufacturing washing machines through field visits to industrial companies. The abstract discusses various principles and methodologies for designing an effective assembly line layout. Attention should be drawn to the mechanism for designing a complete assembly line for homemade washing machines in Palestine, also several important observations were taken into consideration, including the following: The area of the land surface was considered a large, undefined area, due to its lack of availability and existence in reality. Additionally, it explores the implementation of efficient material handling systems, including conveyors, and robotic arms, to streamline the movement of components along the assembly line. the output of the project is layout design, and drawing it using the software, autocade, 3d Max, and Visio. In this project, the distribution of departments on the surface area of the land that was assumed was represented in the following (raw materials warehouse, final warehouse, WIP inventory, production hall, services, and administrative offices). Based on the high demand a batch production should be designed in a continuous line flow assembly line. التخليص لاستكمال متطلبات مشروع التخرج الأول دراسة تصميم مخطط لخط تجميع الغسالات في فلسطين . وقد تم التركيز على تعريف المنتج بمكوناته الرئيسية ومكوناته الفرعية، وتم استخدام مخطط التدفق في تحديد وتوضيح التسلسل لكل نظام تشغيل للغسالة ولعمليات وعمليات خط التجميع، كما تم عمل دراسة فنية ل الإمكانية الفنية لتصنيع الغسالات من خلال الزيارات الميدانية للشركات الصناعية . يناقش الملخص المبادئ والمنهجيات المختلفة لتصميم تخطيط خط التجميع الفعال. ولابد من الانتباه إلى آلية تصميم خط تجميع كامل للغسالات المنزلية في فلسطين، كما تم الاخذ بعين الاعتبار عدة ملاحظات مهمة، منها ما يلي : اعتبار مساحة سطح الأرض مساحة كبيرة غير محددة، وذلك لعدم توافرها ووجودها على أرض الواقع . بالإضافة إلى ذلك، استكشاف تنفيذ أنظمة فعالة لمعالجة المواد و الناقلات، لتبسيط حركة المكونات على طول خط التجميع . مخرجات المشروع هي التصميم التخطيطي، ورسمه باستخدام البرمجيات، autocade ، 3d Max ، و Visio. في هذا المشروع تمثل توزيع الأقسام على مساحة الأرض المفترضة في ما يلي )مخزن المواد الخام، المستودع النهائي، مخزون الأعمال قيد التنفيذ، قاعة الإنتاج، الخدمات، المكاتب الإدارية( . بناءً على الطلب المرتفع الذي تم حسابه، يجب تصميم إنتاج الدفعة في خط تجميع ذو تدفق مستمر .

    Enabling Sustainable Futures and Economic Empowerment through PET Recycling in Nablus
    (2024-02-13) Malak Saadeh; Ghusoon Salah
    Abstract: Plastic waste poses a significant environmental challenge worldwide, resulting in pollution of land, water, and air that adversely affects human health and wildlife. Challenges include inadequate recycling infrastructure and high volumes of single-use plastics. However, recycling emerges as a crucial solution, addressing environmental impact, resource conservation, and the reduction of new plastic demand. Combining efficient recycling systems with awareness campaigns for responsible consumption and eco-friendly alternatives offers a comprehensive strategy to tackle the global plastic crisis. The project's main objective is to establish a sustainable and economically viable system for recycling Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic waste in Nablus city. Furthermore, it aims to raise awareness about reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices. To achieve these objectives, an economic feasibility study has been conducted to explore the potential for a PET plastic recycling factory. This feasibility study explores the viability and potential benefits of establishing a PET recycling plant in Nablus, aiming to address the pressing challenges associated with plastic waste management in the region. The study begins with a comprehensive analysis of the current state of plastic waste management in Nablus, emphasizing the escalating environmental impact and the social implications of inadequate waste disposal. The project proposes the establishment of a PET recycling plant as a strategic intervention, offering a systematic approach to reduce the environmental footprint and promote a circular economy. Key components of the feasibility study include an in-depth market analysis, encompassing the demand for recycled PET products in local and international markets. Additionally, a detailed examination of the technical and technological requirements for the recycling process, alongside the identification of potential site for the plant, forms an integral part of the study. The financial feasibility aspect involves a thorough cost-benefit analysis, taking into account initial investment, operational costs, and revenue projections. The financial analysis, spanning a ten-year period, reveals promising results, demonstrating profitability and positive returns on investment. The study incorporates detailed projections for initial setup costs, operational expenditures, and revenue streams. These financial results underscore the project's potential to not only cover its costs but also generate sustainable profits over the projected timeframe. Furthermore, the socio-economic impact assessment highlights job creation, skills development, and community engagement as additional positive outcomes. In summary, the findings of this feasibility study provide valuable insights into the practicality and sustainability of establishing a PET recycling plant in Nablus. This project aims to contribute not only to the reduction of plastic pollution but also to the creation of a more sustainable and environmentally conscious community, aligning with global efforts towards a circular economy and responsible waste management.
