Assessment of Hot Environment in Foundry Industry using Modified Heat Stress Index
Abstract: Indian foundry industry being one of the highest contributors where workers are exposed to varied health hazards attributed to fumes, dusts, gases, heat, noise, vibration and radiation. In step with the connection between atmosphere temperature and human thermal balance, living environments higher than 35°C or operating environments higher than 32°C were considered as hot environments. In hot-dry work place, workers exposed to extreme heat can experience occupation illness and injuries …

Use of Data Envelopment Analysis to Measure the Technical Efficiencies of Banks in India
Abstract: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been applied in many studies in the banking industry. It is a nonparametric method in Operations Research and Economics for measuring the relative efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Companies use many different inputs (such as assets, employees, shareholders’ equities, etc.) to generate outputs (such as profits, revenues, market values, etc.). This paper is an attempt to implement …
