Background
Milk is a nutritive beverage obtained from various animals and consumed by
humans. Most milk is obtained from dairy cows, although milk from goats,
water buffalo, and reindeer is also used in various parts of the world. In the
United States, and in many industrialized countries, raw cow's milk is
processed before it is consumed. During processing the fat content of the milk
is adjusted, various vitamins are added, and potentially harmful bacteria are
killed. In addition to being consumed as a beverage, milk is also used to make
butter, cream, yogurt, cheese, and a variety of other products.
Raw Materials
The average composition of cow's milk is 87.2% water, 3.7% milk fat, 3.5%
protein, 4.9% lactose, and 0.7% ash. This composition varies from cow to cow
and breed to breed. For example, Jersey cows have an average of 85.6%
water and 5.15% milk fat. These figures also vary by the season of the year,
the animal feed content, and many other factors.
Vitamin D concentrate may be added to milk in the amount of 400 international
units (IU) per quart. Most low fat and skim milk also has 2,000 IU of Vitamin A
added.
Pasteurizing
6 The milkeither whole milk, skim milk, or standardized milkis piped
into a pasteurizer to kill any bacteria. There are several methods used to
pasteurize milk. The most common is called the high-temperature,
short-time (HTST) process in which the milk is heated as it flows through
Homogen izing
7 Most milk is homogenized to reduce the size of the remaining milk fat
particles. This prevents the milk fat from separating and floating to the
surface as cream. It also ensures that the milk fat will be evenly
distributed through the milk. The hot milk from the pasteurizer is
pressurized to 2,500-3,000 psi (17,200-20,700 kPa) by a multiplecylinder piston pump and is forced through very small passages in an
adjustable valve. The shearing effect of being forced through the tiny
openings breaks down the fat particles into the proper size.
8 The milk is then quickly cooled to 40 F (4.4 C) to avoid harming its
taste.
Packaging
9 The milk is pumped into coated paper cartons or plastic bottles and is
sealed. In the United States most milk destined for retail sale in grocery
stores is packaged in one-gallon (3.8-liter) plastic bottles. The bottles or
cartons are stamped with a "sell by" date to ensure that the retailers do
not allow the milk to stay on their shelves longer than it can be safely
stored.
10 The milk cartons or bottles are placed in protective shipping
containers and kept refrigerated. They are shipped to distribution
Cleaning
11 To ensure sanitary conditions, the inner surfaces of the process
equipment and piping system are cleaned once a day. Almost all the
equipment and piping used in the processing plant and on the farm are
made from stainless steel. Highly automated clean-in-place systems are
incorporated into this equipment that allows solvents to be run through
the system and then flushed clean. This is done at a time between the
normal influx of milk from the farms.
Science
Production
Ziegler and oxo processes
In the Ziegler process, linear alcohols are produced from ethylene
and triethylaluminium followed by oxidation and hydrolysis.[41] An idealized synthesis of 1octanol is shown:
Al(C2H5)3 + 9 C2H4 Al(C8H17)3
By altering the process conditions, acetic anhydride may also be produced on the same
plant using the rhodium catalysts.[32]
Acetaldehyde oxidation[edit]
Prior to the commercialization of the Monsanto process, most acetic acid was produced by
oxidation of acetaldehyde. This remains the second-most-important manufacturing method,
although it is usually not competitive with the carbonylation of methanol. The acetaldehyde
can be produced by hydration of acetylene. This was the dominant technology in the early
1900s.[33]
Light naphtha components are readily oxidized by oxygen or even air to give peroxides,
which decompose to produce acetic acid according to thechemical equation, illustrated with
butane:
2 C4H10 + 5 O2 4 CH3CO2H + 2 H2O
Such oxidations require metal catalyst, such as the
naphthenatel salts of manganese, cobalt, and chromium.
The typical reaction is conducted at temperatures and pressures designed to be as hot
as possible while still keeping the butane a liquid. Typical reaction conditions are 150 C
(302 F) and 55 atm.[34] Side-products may also form, including butanone, ethyl
acetate, formic acid, and propionic acid. These side-products are also commercially
valuable, and the reaction conditions may be altered to produce more of them where
needed. However, the separation of acetic acid from these by-products adds to the cost
of the process.[35]
Under similar conditions and using similar catalysts as are used for butane oxidation,
the oxygen in air to produce acetic acid can oxidizeacetaldehyde.[35]
2 CH3CHO + O2 2 CH3CO2H
Using modern catalysts, this reaction can have an acetic acid yield greater than
95%. The major side-products are ethyl acetate, formic acid, and formaldehyde, all
of which have lower boiling points than acetic acid and are readily separated
by distillation.[35]
Ethylene oxidation[edit]
Acetaldehyde may be prepared from ethylene via the Wacker process, and then
oxidised as above. In more recent times, chemical company Showa Denko, which
opened an ethylene oxidation plant in ita, Japan, in 1997, commercialised a
cheaper single-stage conversion of ethylene to acetic acid.[36] The process is
catalyzed by a palladium metal catalyst supported on a heteropoly acid such
astungstosilicic acid. It is thought to be competitive with methanol carbonylation for
smaller plants (100250 kt/a), depending on the local price of ethylene. The
approach will be based on utilizing a novel selective photocatalytic oxidation
technology for the selective oxidation of ethylene and ethane to acetic acid. Unlike
traditional oxidation catalysts, the selective oxidation process will use UV light to
produce acetic acid at ambient temperatures and pressure.
Oxidative fermentation[edit]
For most of human history, acetic acid bacteria of the genus Acetobacter have made
acetic acid, in the form of vinegar. Given sufficient oxygen, these bacteria can
produce vinegar from a variety of alcoholic foodstuffs. Commonly used feeds
include apple cider, wine, and fermented grain, malt, rice, or potato mashes. The
overall chemical reaction facilitated by these bacteria is:
C2H5OH + O2 CH3COOH + H2O
A dilute alcohol solution inoculated with Acetobacter and kept in a warm, airy
place will become vinegar over the course of a few months. Industrial vinegarmaking methods accelerate this process by improving the supply of oxygen to
the bacteria.[37]
The first batches of vinegar produced by fermentation probably followed errors
in the winemaking process. If must is fermented at too high a temperature,
acetobacter will overwhelm the yeast naturally occurring on the grapes. As the
demand for vinegar for culinary, medical, and sanitary purposes increased,
vintners quickly learned to use other organic materials to produce vinegar in the
hot summer months before the grapes were ripe and ready for processing into
wine. This method was slow, however, and not always successful, as the
vintners did not understand the process.[38]
One of the first modern commercial processes was the "fast method" or
"German method", first practised in Germany in 1823. In this process,
fermentation takes place in a tower packed with wood shavings or charcoal. The
alcohol-containing feed is trickled into the top of the tower, and fresh air supplied
from the bottom by either natural or forcedconvection. The improved air supply
in this process cut the time to prepare vinegar from months to weeks.[39]
Nowadays, most vinegar is made in submerged tank culture, first described in
1949 by Otto Hromatka and Heinrich Ebner.[40] In this method, alcohol is
fermented to vinegar in a continuously stirred tank, and oxygen is supplied by
bubbling air through the solution. Using modern applications of this method,
vinegar of 15% acetic acid can be prepared in only 24 hours in batch process,
even 20% in 60-hour fed-batch process.[38]
Anaerobic fermentation[edit]
Species of anaerobic bacteria, including members of the
genus Clostridium or Acetobacterium can convert sugars to acetic acid directly
without creating ethanol as an intermediate. The overall chemical reaction
conducted by these bacteria may be represented as:
C6H12O6 3 CH3COOH
These acetogenic bacteria produce acetic acid from one-carbon
compounds, including methanol, carbon monoxide, or a mixture of carbon
dioxide and hydrogen:
2 CO2 + 4 H2 CH3COOH + 2 H2O
This ability of Clostridium to metabolize sugars directly, or to produce
acetic acid from less costly inputs, suggests that these bacteria could
produce acetic acid more efficiently than ethanol-oxidizers
like Acetobacter. However, Clostridium bacteria are less acid-tolerant
than Acetobacter. Even the most acid-tolerant Clostridium strains can
produce vinegar in concentrations of only a few per cent, compared
to Acetobacter strains that can produce vinegar in concentrations up to
20%. At present, it remains more cost-effective to produce vinegar
using Acetobacter, rather than using Clostridium and concentrating it. As
Many innovations have been made to the world through the years. In the course of human history, these
changes have played a great role in affecting the life of man in a given time period. One of the most important
periods that ushered in the early beginnings of the modern era is the Industrial Revolution. In this time, the
machinery industry was born. It has paved way to the invention of various devices that have helped man.
Today, this industry still plays a very big role when it comes to business. Machines mean nothing if they are not
calibrated and efficient this is where the Six Sigma Methodology and the Machine Industry marry their goals
for the betterment of the business industry.
A machine is anything that is composed of one or more parts that will work to achieve a certain predetermined
goal. These tools and devices are powered in order to work. The sources of power can vary ranging from
mechanical, electrical, chemical, or thermal means. In order for a thing to be classified as a machine, human
ingenuity must be the reason behind it, and not a natural occurrence. In the simplest terms, machines are
devices that can modify the magnitude or direction of a force. However, this does not apply in the modern
sense with the many things that machines can do today. Machines can be used to form other machines that
usher further new innovations. They start a chain reaction that can fuel the world into the future.
The Six Sigma Methodology is a quality improvement process that helps companies ensure that their machines
are calibrated correctly, efficient, and are doing what they are designed to do through the help of statistics. By
collecting and analyzing data, an individual can determine if a machine is using fuel efficiently, and if it is doing
the job it is intended to do accurately.
Machines are widely used in various fields and industries. They are used in manufacturing of various products.
They are also used in fields of construction, agriculture, and mining. Today, many machines have even been
designed to operate without humans. The field of robotics and automata has paved way to more sophisticated
machines. Robots are now used in industries such as the automotive sector.
The machinery industry is a very dominant force that shaped the world today. With its help, the world is
modernized and is continuing to advance into the future. In order to keep these machines advancing into the
future, statistics-based quality improvement techniques such as the Six Sigma Methodology should be
employed to ensure efficiency and accuracy.

AS THE weak recovery continues, various experts continue to linger on the importance
ofmanufacturing to growth in output and employment. America's economy will work
again, many argue, when its workers are once again engaged in the critical task of
making things. I continue to struggle to understand this focus. Think of the kinds of
tasks that make a product possible: the people who identify a market opportunity and
come up with a concept, the people who produce a workable product design, the people
who design a production method and supply chain, the people who find supplies and
labour at prices and qualities consistent with profitable production, the people who
manage the logistics of bringing inputs together, the people who actually assemble the
inputs, the people who manage the logistics of delivering the goods to markets, the
people who actually sell the goods to customers, and the people who track these
processes and add up the numbers to make sure things are working as planned. Why is
the assembly step obviously the most important to economic activity?
Manufacturing enthusiasts often cite the benefits of manufacturing's high compensation
levels for middle-skilled work, but this is a mistaken idea. In the tradable sector, high
wages are possible only when there are high levels of value creation. That corresponds
to high skill levels or capital intensities, both of which limit the extent to which high-wage
manufacturing jobs will be responsible for mass employment. Low-skill jobs in tradable
sectors will tend to flow to places with very low labour costs. Of course, America can
employ lots of people in non-tradable, middle-skill manufacturing jobs: things like homebuilding, on-site prepared food manufacture, and the production of shortened hair. Yet
employment in construction, restaurant, and personal service jobs doesn't satisfy
manufacturing enthusiasts, despite the ample market appetite for such workers.
A number of internal and external factors play a critical role in the performance and
competitiveness of SMEs. Factors related to business environment, industrial and economic
policies and support institutions are as important as internal factors influencing production
and growth of SMEs. Addressing one or a set of factors in a fragmented and uncoordinated
manner is unlikely to enhance SME competitiveness and trade performance. Therefore, the
integrated technical assistance offered by IUMP consists of remedial actions at three levels
to maximize industrial competitiveness. A holistic IUMP focuses on promoting
competitiveness and diversification of manufacturing sectors along with improving
regulatory frameworks and the business environment, and reinforcing institutional capacities
of technical and business support infrastructure.
Abstract
This study is a survey conducted by means of questionnaires. It analyzes the collected
data using descriptive analysis as well as t and chi squared tests. In this study we have
analyzed the status of small scale industries in Khuzestan and Maharashtra with a
special consideration of the impact of these industries on job generation and regional
development separately. Statistics show that Iran highly invested in the moderate to
large industries such as petroleum and petrochemical, agricultural adapting industries,
mines and non-metal minerals, steel and manufacturing machineries, while little
attention has been paid to small industries within the framework of the industrial
structure. The findings of the research showed that when small scale industries are
developed in Khuzestan, job opportunities will be increased more than Maharashtra.
The activities of small scale industries in terms of product, consumption, trade and
