The coils shop of AHU experienced several issues which impact negatively on its performance and increase the non-added values. For instance, it suffers from significant amount of scrap, low machines utilization, extra manpower, long machine set up time, and the absence of process safety system. In this report, the required data were collected by three ways; observation, recording and conducting the interviews with the related people. These data were analyzed by a wide range of tools, which are used to apply lean manufacturing such as, value stream mapping, 5S, work standardized, manual handling assessment chart, snook table, one-dimensional cutting optimizer, and mistake proofing. As a result, a significant reduction in the overall cost of coils shops production processes were obtained. For instance, the average machines set up time was reduced by 18 %, number of set up per shift was reduced by 20.8 %, the number of operators was reduced by 26.3 %, the quality of the product was increased and the safety of the processes was enhanced. It is worthy to note the amount of the scrap was dropped by approximately 71 %.","PeriodicalId":322509,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Applications","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132654519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data on demand were collected from King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center, for the four regions in Saudi Arabia namely, western, central, eastern, and southern regions. The data pattern for the regions were studied and all showed monthly seasonality with slight variations. After that three forecasting methods were applied starting with the time series decomposition method with a multiplicative model, The Box-Jenkins methodology (ARIMA) and Winter’s triple smoothing method to find the forecast of electricity demand for each region. Then, those forecasts were combined to obtain the total demand of electricity for Saudi Arabia. The forecast for the 96 months from Jan. 2018 until Dec. 2025 were obtained which showed that the demand will continue to grow for all regions with a peak at the summer season. An analysis of electricity demand factors was also studied using fishbone and regression analysis to identify the most important factors affecting electricity demand in Saudi Arabia, which were found to be: populations, number of subscribers, number of factories, CO2 emissions, and air temperature. Comparison of the forecasting errors measurements indicates that, in general , the time series decomposition method is the best model, however, a combined model was also generated to optimize accuracy, which shows that peak demand in August 2025 will be 63.30115 GW.","PeriodicalId":322509,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Applications","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127603089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second is the Control panel that consists of Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), a comparator and an Arduino UNO. This paper presents the design and Fabrication of the automatic solar tracking device. The model is based on the principle that when sunlight falls on LDR installed on the panel, the input is given to the Aurdino and then it gives a command to the servomotor to align its position where the intensity is maximum so that maximum efficiency is achieved.","PeriodicalId":322509,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Applications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115943067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to discuss the impact of BIs on the performance of entrepreneurs and the national economy through forecasting the contribution of SMEs and private sectors in the Saudi Gross domestic product (GDP) in 2030 based on the data of General Authority of Statistics in Saudi Arabia from 2016 to 2019. Vision 2030 includes the specific targets that the government will establish more effective BIs to increase the contribution of SMEs in the total GDP from 20% to become 35 percent and increase the contribution of private sectors from 40% to 65%. It argues that although the forecasting contribution of SMEs and the private sector in the total Saudi GDP can surpass the targets of Vision 2030 by 39% and 67% respectively, the contribution of BIs in these goals is insignificant according to studies published in Saudi Arabia but it suggests that BIs may have a positive impact on the national economy in terms of increasing the number of jobs and GDP.","PeriodicalId":322509,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Applications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132491702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
