Development of a flexible process layout for a Nigerian beverage industry

Vol. 3, No. 1

37--47

Product design is changing everyday as a result of changing in taste of the customers. Production layout must be flexible to cater for these changes. Production layout is flexible if it can accommodate change in flow of workers, material and machines in compliance with the new product demand. In this study, flexible process layout was developed for a Nigerian beverage industry to take care of future change in product design. In the industry, flexibility was considered in redesigning of old production layout in the areas of industrial facility, and operational planning. It was discovered that old layout was deficient in the area of flexibility by 90% of the set standards of the criteria for plant layout. The findings have indicated that the flexibility in plant layout is cardinal in combarting the challenge of changing industrial environment.

Modelling fatalities of road accidents in Nigeria

Preponderance of road accidents is one of the major causes of death in Nigeria, but the fatality of these accidents is unknown. In this study, data on casualties of the road accidents in Nigeria are collated, statistically analysed and modelled for predicting fatality of the accidents. The strategies of minimising rise in fatality of road accidents were proposed. The results obtained showed that the fatalities of the road accidents have polynomial relationships with the population of the road users, or time. The highest annual accident fatality probability of 0.17 was obtained over the total population of the road users. The result from combined modelling of traffic population and time showed that the accident fatalities will rise in future unless roads and drivers are well cultured. The findings would be useful for demographers, safety and health workers in their planning.
