AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE USAGE OF LEAN CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES IN NIGERIA by Olatunji J OLADIRAN

“…The findings reveal that fail-safe quality and safety, daily huddle meetings, increased visualisation, and the 5S process are poorly used, while the other eight techniques, namely Last Planner® System (LPS®), first-run studies, just-in-time (JIT), total production maintenance, concurrent design, kaizen, design for buildability, and supply chain management, are not used at all. Nevertheless, application of the aforementioned first four techniques has contributed to improved workflow on sites, maintenance of good site organisation, and increased job satisfaction among employees. …”

The effect of plasticizers on rheological, physical and mechanical properties of low cement high alumina gunning refractories by Mohammad Mobasheri, Ali Mohammad Hadian, Yasaman Mohammadi, Behzad Azimi, Mehrnoosh Kamali

“…Abstract In this research, the effect of different plasticizers with different amounts on the properties of monolithic alumina-based refractories has been investigated. All samples were fired at 1100 °C and 1550 °C. In order to evaluate the desired properties, first the rheological properties of the samples were examined, and then for further investigations, loss on ignition (LOI), percentage of permanent linear changes (PLC), apparent porosity (AP), bulk density (BD) and cold crushing strength (CCS) tests were used. …”
