The department of Industrial& production engineering was started in the year 1984with Lt.Col. B. Papanna as the first professor and HOD.The 4 years BE degree in IPEwas run under BangaloreUniversity. Lt. Col. Papannaheaded the department till1996. In the year 1992, Ban-galore university initiated aBE course in Industrial engi-neering & management on asemester scheme. From1996 to 2002 , the professorand HOD of the departmentof mechanical engineering was also given the portfolioof heading the department of

IEM.In the year 1998, the collegewas affiliated to Visweswarai-ah Technological University(VTU) with some modifica- tions in the syllabus and

scheme.

The department has 13 fac-ulty members, over 200 un-dergraduate students andover 30 graduate students.

Many faculty members are

award-wining teachers.

Students, undergraduateand graduate alike, enjoy the personal attention of

faculty.

The department has pio-neered the on-campusoffering of graduate pro-

grams. Currently, we haveon-campus graduate pro-

grams, ME IE.

Lastly, the strong commit-ment of our faculty to re-search is reflected in theirability to attract funding in

their areas of expertise.

October 9, A talk on CONTINU-OUS IMPROVEMENT in Indus-

tries was held for the 7th and5th semesters and the 3rdSemester M.Tech students,held on 9th October. Theguest speaker was Mr. KASHIVISHWANATH. We were intro-duced to the company ENPHI-

NITI SOLUTIONS by Dr. Kiran.

Mr. Vishwanath mainlystressed on the continuousimprovement in any companyshould follow for its upbring-ing. He gave an insight into

the word KAIZEN. And how the JAPANESE use it and thesources it has been derivedfrom. Kaizen is used currently

by TOYOTA. There are 3 rules:MUDA, MURA, MURI which are

unproductive activities, just in time inventory and over bur-den respectively. Light was

thrown onto

why continuous improvement

is necessary in an industry.

Enphiniti solutions basicallydeals with CAE-computer aid-ed engineering and its appli-cation in the fields of Industri-al and Mechanical Engineer-ing. They train students withprior PRO-E and CATIAknowledge. We were guidedon how to chose our preferredcareer paths. The session wasconcluded with Mr. VasanthaKumar giving the vote of

celebrations.

The students of the depart-ment, from the final year and

the pre-final year put up agrand show for all the teach-ers. It began with an invoca-

tion and proceeded with

September 22, JSS Academyfor Technical education has

come in collaboration with theProduct life cycle manage-ment Competency Centre and

the French ministry of Educa- tion and Research to educatemechanical engineers andindustrial engineers, to helpstudents make better use of cutting edge CAD software for

development.

A professor working with theFrench government came toaddress us: Prof. Nicolas Fer-rand. He was introduced by

the respected principal of

Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering Dr.Netaji Gane-shan. He gave us a small pep

talk as to what could be learntfrom this talk and what its bene-

fits would be.Then the stage was handed over

to Prof. Nicolas, who introducedus to the work that they were do-ing with the French govern-ment. He gave us an insight into

the different software made by

Dassault systems like “CATIA-V5″ “DELMIA-V5″ “SIMULIA-V5″

and “SMARTEAM” These soft-ware are used for differentpurposes during the variousdesign stages.He showed us some examples

too. It was a very good experi-ence for the students and thisrapturing orator was liked by

all.

He even clarified our doubtsand asked him to call us if wehad any further queries. Thestudents were grateful to thedepartment for conducting this

which is expected to growover $879 billion by 2018, isa $410 billion market. Foodand groceries account for 70percent of the retailed itemsfollowed by textile and appar-el at seven percent. The tex-

tiles and apparel segmentrepresents about 40 percentof the organized sector, whichaccount 95 percent of the

retail sector.

The retail industry in Indiafaces supply chain challengeslike inadequate supply chaininfrastructure, complex taxa-

tion laws, high levels of inter-mediaries, product prolifera-

tion and lack of supply chainvisibility. Some of the keyrecommendations of the re-port are improving supplychain infrastructure, imple-mentation of goods and ser-vices tax (GST), reducing in-

termediaries, and adopting green supply chain practices.Green supply chains involveintegrating environmental

thinking into the core operations of a company, starting from material sourcing todelivery to end-of-life recy-

cling.

- Chandrasekhar, VIIth sem

Despite the Indian retail sector being in the high-growthmode, the country is losing $65 billion every year due to

inefficient supply chain systems. The supply chain costsin India are about 12 percent

to 13 percent of the grossdomestic product (GDP) com-pared with 7 percent to 8percent of GDP in developedcountries, according to a re-port titled, „Global competi-

tiveness of retail supply chain-Challenges, Strategies andRecommendations‟ published

by industry body Confedera- tion of Indian Industry (CII)

and Amarthi Consulting.

The report says that India is at47th position on logistics andis behind countries such asJapan, U.S., Germany andChina. The supply chain costsin India deal with the procure-ment, manufacture and distri-bution of products and ser-vices, and drive the success

of the retail sector.

Conserve: Planet Earth.

This is our home, everysingle thing here belongs to us. And by ruining itwe‟re only causing harm to

ourselves. Mother Naturehas created a perfect bal-ance of things in all thecycles. Pollution, cutting down of trees, carbon

emissions etc are leading to the Green house effectAnd this is only the beginning of destruc- tion.The consequences of glob-al warming are unimagina-ble.It all starts from cutting of trees combined with exces-sive carbon dioxide emis-sion. The CO2 that is leftbehind in the atmospherecreates a layer around it-self which prevents heatfrom escaping the planet.The heating of the planetmelts the glaciers and the

ice caps. And we‟ve al-ready almost reached thatstage. Soon we‟ll be sur-

rounded only by water. All

the land will drown.

Recycle: Trees.

And everything that comesfrom trees. Instead of throwing all your paper, getit recycled (give it to theraddiwala) or if you can then do it at home.Did you know: If everybodyin the world recycles just their Sunday Newspaper

then half a million treescan be saved from destruc- tion every week. That‟s

how important recycling is.

Plant a tree:

In the name of develop-

ment, for metro work, forflyover/road constructions thousands and thousandsof trees are cut in UrbanIndia every year. And treesare the only absorbents of CO2. So plant as many aspossible. Every tree plant-ed makes a difference. You plant 1 tree, it absorbs the CO2 produced by yourcar, so this way neutraliza- tion can be achieved.

Not only that, trees give usshade, trees provide foodfor animals and even hu-man beings. They provideyou with shade, cools the temperature around andplant a nice mango treeoutside your house and ina few years you‟ll be cher-

ishing sweet mangoes!As far as possible, try toSTOP the cutting down of trees.Trees NEED to be recycled.They‟re the only way we

can save our planet.

Also STOP using plasticbags, use cloth bags in-stead. Even though theplastic bags claim they arebio degradable, they do

not decompose fully…

In a drive towards raising awareness about environ-

mental issues, two teens,Sourabh Siyal and TusharAgarwal, have developed awashing machine madeout of junk material. Themachine, named „Eco

wash‟, runs on mechanical

and kinetic energy, without

the use of electricity.

“The main washtub is built

with junk materials likediscarded plastic bottlesand a pulley is attached to

the plastic bottle to run themachine. The pulley moveswith the help of kineticenergy and helps to washclothes,” explains Agarwal,

who wants to be a scien-

tific innovator.

“Our idea is to do away

with electricity and comeup with an alternative. Thewashing machine can beuseful in big textile industries. We‟re planning to

give our idea to one of In-dia‟s leading garment

manufacturing units,” says

Siyal, who too wants topursue research work in

the field of science.

In another such showcaseof innovation four students

of from a school in Banga-lore, under the guidance of their Physics teacher de-veloped an „Earthquake

predictor‟. “The earth-

quake predictor is nothing but a borewell. The bore-well is attached to a buzz-er. The buzzer makes

sound if the undergroundwater level increases,which means that themovement of lava in the

underground is moving ata faster rate, an indication

of the likelihood of anearthquake. The fastmovement of lava willforce the water level toincrease, which in turn willmake the buzzer give outsignals,” said Subramani-

an K, one of the students.

Six Sigma is a business

management strategy orig-inally developed byMotorola, USA in 1981.Asof 2010, it enjoys wide-spread application in manysectors of industry, alt-hough its application is not

Six Sigma seeks to im-prove the quality of pro-cess outputs by identifying

methods, and creates a spe-cial infrastructure of peoplewithin the organization("Black Belts", "Green Belts",etc.) who are experts in the-se methods. Each Six Sigmaproject carried out within anorganization follows a de-fined sequence of steps andhas quantified financial tar-gets (cost reduction or profit
