Implementation of Environmental Oriented Monitoring in the Manufacturing Company

This paper deals with the application of monitoring and targeting (M&T) in the company. The main objective of this work was based on M&T study created in 2008 to assess the effectiveness of measures taken in the production distance ring. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of measures towards electricity consumption decrease that were accepted after the study from 2008 when the process with the highest electricity consumption was identified.

DETERMINATION OF OPTIMAL PRODUCTION VOLUME RESPONDING ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA

Environmental protection, quality requirements for products, eco –design of materials, increasing of production volume and market competition force the manufacturers to adapt to these requirements and also to economic issues. A mathematical method is applied to the solution of this problem. The individual factors of environmental and economic character are expressed by means of different equations having universal validity. The most important factor of the given ones is the so called natural capital, alias natural resources. They are derived from the environment. Each of summarized criterions is represented by its graphical form. An application to the automotive industry closes the paper.

Design of Illumination and Lighting Visualization by Simulation Methods

This article deals with designing internal artificial lighting as part of the working environment, which is subject to certain rules, derived from the nature of lighting. Good lighting exerts an impact on visual comfort, which contributes to overall psychological well-being, and indirectly also to the quality and productivity of performance, to reliability and to visual performance. Currently the development of computer graphics software products exist to enable a comprehensive design and calculation of the parameters of lighting systems, which would reflect light effects that arise in artificial and day lighting. For the purposes of this paper, as to the possibilities utilisation simulations of light—technical parameters are presented simulations of the lighting design of mechanical engineering workshop created in the software DIALux.

Six Sigma Method Applying within Environmental Management

The paper describes the philosophy and methodology of Six Sigma method. Six Sigma is a new methodology using old tools. It is a comprehensive system for achieving, maintaining and maximizing business success based mainly on understanding of the needs and customer expectation. With their introduction, the organizations create the way for a balanced and integrated approach in terms of economic, quality, environmental and security interests.
