Optimizing Manufacturing Efficiency: A Six-Sigma DMAIC Approach to Reduce Operational Gaps

Jérôme Chenal, Baraka Jean-Claude Munyaka

This study applies Six-Sigma DMAIC methodology to enhance the efficiency of a manufacturing production line, specifically targeting the "gaps" between planned and actual working time. Key findings reveal that meetings, scanning, follow-up activities, walki ...

Nutrients influence seasonal metabolic patterns and total productivity of Arctic streams

Luis Gómez Gener

The seasonality of gross primary production (GPP) in streams is driven by multiple physical and chemical factors, yet incident light is often thought to be most important. In Arctic tundra streams, however, light is available in saturating amounts througho ...
