  • Evaluation of performance indicators applied to a material recovery facility fed by mixed packaging waste
    Waste Management, 2017
    Co-Authors: Maria Laura Mastellone, Raffaele Cremiato, Lucio Zaccariello, Roberta Lotito
    Abstract:

    Most of the integrated systems for municipal solid waste management aim to increase the recycling of secondary materials by means of physical processes including sorting, shredding and reprocessing. Several restrictions prevent from reaching a very high material recycling efficiency: the variability of the composition of new-marketed materials used for packaging production and its shape and complexity are critical issues. The packaging goods are in fact made of different materials (aluminium, polymers, paper, etc.), possibly assembled, having different shape (flat, cylindrical, one-dimensional, etc.), density, colours, optical properties and so on. These aspects limit the effectiveness and efficiency of the sorting and reprocessing plants. The scope of this study was to evaluate the performance of a large scale Material Recovery Facility (MRF) by utilizing data collected during a long period of monitoring. The database resulted from the measured data has been organized in four sections: (1) data related to the amount and type of inlet waste; (2) amount and composition of output products and waste; (3) operating data (such as worked hours for shift, planned and unscheduled maintenance time, setting parameters of the equipment, and energy consumption for shift); (4) economic data (value of each product, disposal price for the produced waste, penalty for non-compliance of products and waste, etc.). A part of this database has been utilized to build an Executive Dashboard composed by a set of performance indicators suitable to measure the effectiveness and the efficiency of the MRF operations. The Dashboard revealed itself as a powerful tool to support managers and engineers in their decisions in respect to the market demand or compliance regulation variation as well as in the designing of the lay-out improvements. The results indicated that the 40% of the input waste was recovered as valuable products and that a large part of these (88%) complied with the standards of the recycling companies. The evaluation of the indicators led to the decision to modify the layout to improve the interception of some polymers for which the performance indicators were poor. In particular, two additional optical sorters have to be inserted to increase the yield indicator and to the overall performance of the facility. Definitely, the results of the work allowed to: increase the yield and purity of products’ flows; ensure the compliance of waste flows; increase the workability.

  • Progettazione e Implementazione di un Prototipo di Dashboard Executive: Caso Bolton Food
    'Pisa University Press', 2089
    Co-Authors: Lanzillo Giusy
    Abstract:

    Il lavoro di tesi rispecchia un progetto di consulenza, con durata cinque mesi, all’interno del programma Junior Consulting organizzato da Elis Consulting & Labs a Roma. Il progetto è stato commissionato da Bolton Food, multinazionale che si occupa della produzione e commercializzazione di beni alimentari di largo consumo. Lo scopo del lavoro è stato quello di strutturare e implementare uno strumento che potesse consentire il controllo di gestione durante le riunioni mensili del Global Leadership Team (GLT) della divisione Bolton Food. Per raggiungere quest’obiettivo, da un lato si sono determinati gli indicatori e le relative informazioni che meglio riassumono le performance aziendali, dall’altro si è progettato e implementato un prototipo di Executive Dashboard che ne consentisse la visualizzazione. Per abilitare il cruscotto è stato necessario progettare e strutturare un database di alimentazione che contenesse tutte le informazioni da mostrare nella Dashboard. I benefici che il progetto ha portato a Bolton Food sono legati a una maggior consapevolezza dei risultati aziendali conseguiti e a una condivisione real time delle informazioni

  • Definizione di KPI per una Executive Dashboard: il caso Bolton Food
    'Pisa University Press', 2089
    Co-Authors: Tesconi Andrea
    Abstract:

    Questo lavoro di tesi è il risultato di un’esperienza di stage della durata di cinque mesi inserita all’interno del percorso Junior Consulting in Elis Consulting&Labs. Il candidato ha preso parte ad un progetto di consulenza per Bolton Group finalizzato alla definizione di KPI da inserire all’interno di una Dashboard Executive, allo scopo di analizzare le performance tramite lo strumento di data visualization definito. Il progetto nasce dalla necessità del Global Leadership Team (GLT da adesso) della Business Unit Food di Bolton Group di valutare con indicatori di alto livello i risultati ottenuti in modo da individuare le aree sulle quali intervenire. È stato deciso di progettare e sviluppare un prototipo funzionante di Executive Dashboard con viste per strategia, secondo il modello di pianificazione OGSM utilizzato dalla Business Unit. Propedeutiche sono state le attività di analisi AS – IS della reportistica prodotta, dei sistemi di BI presenti e dei KPI monitorati. Inoltre è stata necessaria un’attività di ricerca, definizione e integrazione dei KPI che popoleranno l’Executive Dashboard
