Boeing’s deliberately defective fleet of flying sky-wreckage

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me TOMORROW (May 2) in WINNIPEG, then Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), Tartu, Estonia, and beyond!

Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured far from the company's Seattle facility, in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.

Hundreds of parts from that Material Review Segregation Area (MRSA) were secretly pulled from that cage and installed on aircraft that are currently plying the world's skies. Among them, sections 47/48 of a 787 – the last four rows of the plane, along with its galley and rear toilets. As Moe Tkacik writes in her excellent piece on Boeing's lethally corrupt culture of financialization and whistleblower intimidation, this is a big ass chunk of an airplane, and there's no way it could go missing from the MRSA cage without a lot of people knowing about it:

https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2024-04-30-whistleblower-laws-protect-lawbreakers/

More: MRSA parts are prominently emblazoned with red marks denoting them as defective and unsafe. For a plane to escape Boeing's production line and find its way to a civilian airport near you with these defective parts installed, many people will have to see and ignore this literal red flag.

The MRSA cage was a special concern of John "Swampy" Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower who is alleged to have killed himself in March. Tkacik's earlier profile of Swampy paints a picture of a fearless, stubborn engineer who refused to go along to get along, refused to allow himself to become inured to Boeing's growing culture of profits over safety:

https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2024-03-28-suicide-mission-boeing/

Boeing is America's last aviation company and its single largest exporter. After the company was allowed to merge with its rival McDonnell-Douglas in 1997, the combined company came under MDD's notoriously financially oriented management culture. MDD CEO Harry Stonecipher became Boeing's CEO in the early 2000s. Stonecipher was a protege of Jack Welch, the man who destroyed General Electric with cuts to quality and workforce and aggressive union-busting, a classic Mafia-style "bust-out" that devoured the company's seed corn and left it a barren wasteland:

https://qz.com/1776080/how-the-mcdonnell-douglas-boeing-merger-led-to-the-737-max-crisis

Post-merger, Boeing became increasingly infected with MDD's culture. The company chased cheap, less-skilled labor to other countries and to America's great onshore-offshore sacrifice zone, the "right-to-work" American south, where bosses can fire uppity workers who balked at criminal orders, without the hassle of a union grievance.

Stonecipher was succeeded by Jim "Prince Jim" McNerney, ex-3M CEO, another Jack Welch protege (Welch spawned a botnet of sociopath looters who seized control of the country's largest, most successful firms, and drove them into the ground). McNerney had a cute name for the company's senior engineers: "phenomenally talented assholes." He created a program to help his managers force these skilled workers – everyone a Boeing who knew how to build a plane – out of the company.

McNerney's big idea was to get rid of "phenomenally talented assholes" and outsource the Dreamliner's design to Boeing's suppliers, who were utterly dependent on the company and could easily be pushed around (McNerney didn't care that most of these companies lacked engineering departments). This resulted in a $80b cost overrun, and a last-minute scramble to save the 787 by shipping a "cleanup crew" from Seattle to South Carolina, in the hopes that those "phenomenally talented assholes" could save McNerney's ass.

Swampy was part of the cleanup crew. He was terrified by what he saw there. Boeing had convinced the FAA to let them company perform its own inspections, replacing independent government inspectors with Boeing employees. The company would mark its own homework, and it swore that it wouldn't cheat.

Boeing cheated. Swampy dutifully reported the legion of safety violations he witnessed and was banished to babysit the MRSA, an assignment his managers viewed as a punishment that would isolate Swampy from the criminality he refused to stop reporting. Instead, Swampy audited the MRSA, and discovered that at least 420 defective aviation components had gone missing from the cage, presumably to be installed in planes that were behind schedule. Swampy then audited the keys to the MRSA and learned that hundreds of keys were "floating around" the Charleston facility. Virtually anyone could liberate a defective part and install it into an airplane without any paper trail.

Swampy's bosses had a plan for dealing with this. They ordered Swampy to "pencil whip" the investigations of 420 missing defective components and close the cases without actually figuring out what happened to them. Swampy refused.

Instead, Swampy took his concerns to a departmental meeting where 12 managers were present and announced that "if we can’t find them, any that we can’t find, we need to report it to the FAA." The only response came from a supervisor, who said, "We’re not going to report anything to the FAA."

The thing is, Swampy wasn't just protecting the lives of the passengers in those defective aircraft – he was also protecting Boeing employees. Under Sec 38 of the US Criminal Code, it's a 15-year felony to make any "materially false writing, entry, certification, document, record, data plate, label, or electronic communication concerning any aircraft or space vehicle part."

(When Swampy told a meeting that he took this seriously because "the paperwork is just as important as the aircraft" the room erupted in laughter.)

Swampy sent his own inspectors to the factory floor, and they discovered "dozens of red-painted defective parts installed on planes."

Swampy blew the whistle. How did the 787 – and the rest of Boeing's defective flying turkeys – escape the hangar and find their way into commercial airlines' fleets? Tkacik blames a 2000 whistleblower law called AIR21 that:

creates such byzantine procedures, locates adjudication power in such an outgunned federal agency, and gives whistleblowers such a narrow chance of success that it effectively immunizes airplane manufacturers, of which there is one in the United States, from suffering any legal repercussions from the testimony of their own workers.

By his own estimation, Swampy was ordered to commit two felonies per week for six years. Tkacik explains that this kind of operation relies on a culture of ignorance �� managers must not document their orders, and workers must not be made aware of the law. Whistleblowers like Swampy, who spoke the unspeakable, were sidelined (an assessment by one of Swampy's managers called him "one of the best" and finished that "leadership would give hugs and high fives all around at his departure").

Multiple whistleblowers were singled out for retaliation and forced departure. William Hobek, a quality manager who refused to "pencil whip" the missing, massive 47-48 assembly that had wandered away from the MRSA cage, was given a "weak" performance review and fired despite an HR manager admitting that it was bogus.

Another quality manager, Cynthia Kitchens, filed an ethics complaint against manager Elton Wright who responded to her persistent reporting of defects on the line by shoving her against a wall and shouting that Boeing was "a good ol’ boys’ club and you need to get on board." Kitchens was fired in 2016. She had cancer at the time.

John Woods, yet another quality engineer, was fired after he refused to sign off on a corner-cutting process to repair a fuselage – the FAA later backed up his judgment.

Then there's Sam Salehpour, the 787 quality engineer whose tearful Congressional testimony described more corner-cutting on fuselage repairs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP0xhIe1LFE

Salehpour's boss followed the Boeing playbook to the letter: Salehpour was constantly harangued and bullied, and he was isolated from colleagues who might concur with his assessment. When Salehpour announced that he would give Congressional testimony, his car was sabotaged under mysterious circumstances.

It's a playbook. Salehpour's experience isn't unusual at Boeing. Two other engineers, working on the 787 Organization Designation Authorization, held up production by insisting that the company fix the planes' onboard navigation computers. Their boss gave them a terrible performance review, admitting that top management was furious at the delays and had ordered him to punish the engineers. The engineers' union grievance failed, with Boeing concluding that this conduct – which they admitted to – didn't rise to the level of retaliation.

As Tkacik points out, these engineers and managers that Boeing targeted for intimidation and retaliation are the very same staff who are supposed to be performing inspections of behalf of the FAA. In other words, Boeing has spent years attacking its own regulator, with total impunity.

But it's not just the FAA who've failed to take action – it's also the DOJ, who have consistently declined to bring prosecutions in most cases, and who settled the rare case they did bring with "deferred prosecution agreements." This pattern was true under Trump's DOJ and continued under Biden's tenure. Biden's prosecutors have been so lackluster that a federal judge "publicly rebuked the DOJ for failing to take seriously the reputational damage its conduct throughout the Boeing case was inflicting on the agency."

Meanwhile, there's the AIR21 rule, a "whistleblower" rule that actually protects Boeing from whistleblowers. Under AIR21, an aviation whistleblower who is retaliated against by their employer must first try to resolve their problem internally. If that fails, the whistleblower has only one course of action: file an OSHA complaint within 90 days (if HR takes more than 90 days to resolve your internal complaint, you can no have no further recourse). If you manage to raise a complaint with OSHA, it is heard by a secret tribunal that has no subpoena power and routinely takes five years to rule on cases, and rules against whistleblowers 97% of the time.

Boeing whistleblowers who missed the 90-day cutoff have filled the South Carolina courts with last-ditch attempts to hold the company to account. When they lose these cases – as is routine, given Boeing's enormous legal muscle and AIR21's legal handcuffs – they are often ordered to pay Boeing's legal costs.

Tkacik cites Swampy's lawyer, Rob Turkewitz, who says Swampy was the only one of Boeing's whistleblowers who was "savvy, meticulous, and fast-moving enough to bring an AIR 21 case capable of jumping through all the hoops" to file an AIR21 case, which then took seven years. Turkewitz calls Boeing South Carolina "a criminal enterprise."

That's a conclusion that's hard to argue with. Take Boeing's excuse for not producing the documentation of its slapdash reinstallation of the Alaska Air door plug that fell off its plane in flight: the company says it's not criminally liable for failing to provide the paperwork, because it never documented the repair. Not documenting the repair is also a crime.

You might have heard that there's some accountability coming to the Boeing boardroom, with the ouster of CEO David Calhoun. Calhoun's likely successor is Patrick Shanahan, whom Tkacik describes as "the architect of the ethos that governed the 787 program" and whom her source called "a classic schoolyard bully."

If Shanahan's name rings a bell, it might be because he was almost Trump's Secretary of Defense, but that was derailed by the news that he had "emphatically defended" his 17 year old son after the boy nearly beat his mother to death with a baseball bat. Shanahan is presently CEO of Spirit Aerospace, who made the door-plug that fell out of the Alaska Airlines 737 Max.

Boeing is a company where senior managers only fail up and where whistleblowers are terrorized in and out of the workplace. One of Tkacik's sources noticed his car shimmying. The source, an ex-787 worker who'd been fired after raising safety complaints, had tried to bring an AIR21 complaint, but withdrew it out of fear of being bankrupted if he was ordered to pay Boeing's legal costs. When the whistleblower pulled over, he discovered that two of the lug-nuts had been removed from one of his wheels.

The whistleblower texted Tkcacik to say (not for the first time): "If anything happens, I'm not suicidal."

Boeing is a primary aerospace contractor to the US government. It's clear that its management – and investors – consider it too big to jail. It's also clear that they know it's too big to fail – after all, the company did a $43b stock buyback, then got billions in a publicly funded buyback.

Boeing is, effectively, a government agency that is run for the benefit of its investors. It performs its own safety inspections. It investigates its own criminal violations of safety rules. It loots its own coffers and then refills them at public expense.

Meanwhile, the company has filled our skies with at least 420 airplanes with defective, red-painted parts that were locked up in the MRSA cage, then snuck out and fitted to an airplane that you or someone you love could fly on the next time you take your family on vacation or fly somewhere for work.

I'm a big fan of building commie blocks to ameliorate the US housing crisis -- and putting them in the public parks that were stolen from other communities to give colonisers some trees to look at -- but what policies should be enacted to get suburbanites into beautiful and efficient bedspace apartments with kitchens and washrooms shared by a floor?

As a good social democrat, I'm contractually obligated to prefer Red Vienna to your proper commie block. Short of a complete class revolution that completely upends the social hierarchy, a significant part of ensuring that social housing pulls off being "a living tapestry of a mixed community" is building it to middle-class standards (including aesthetic standards) so that people with the money to find alternatives don't all leave. Art Deco is a hell of a lot chic-er than the boring minimalist crap that luxury developers are getting away with these days.

Also, don't build them in parks: green space is not only important for environmental sustainability but also the health and mental health of working-class and poor communities who can't afford houses in the suburbs, and we should be encouraging in-fill development instead. (Build them on golf courses instead, because they are classist, invasive, artificial monocultures that do nothing for the environment.)

In terms of how to make suburbia more in synch with dense, sustainable social housing, there are a number of necessary changes:

Commuter rail: suburbs predate the car by a fair few decades, and originally sprung up along the routes of commuter rail lines. Well, it turns out that transit-oriented development and dense transit corridors go hand-in-hand: if you can build higher-density units near transit lines, people will use mass transit to commute, and if there are well-planned areas of higher density around major urban areas, the increased number of commuters can support more regular transit services.

Planning/zoning/ligitation revolution: as I mentioned in my student housing post, one of the major reasons why it's so hard to build affordable housing projects is that local NIMBY groups use every legal tool in the book to bury them. So there needs to be pretty comprehensive reforms of zoning regulations (banning single-family zoning, reducing set-backs and eliminating mandatory parking, getting rid of "unrelated persons" limitations, getting rid of building heights limits, etc.), standardization of the permitting and development approval process, streamlining of the public comment/hearing process and environmental review process for model projects, and extreme limits on litigation for model projects.

Financing reform: as I sort of imply in my Red Vienna section above, a big part of making social housing/public housing successful and avoiding replicating or increasing class and racial segregation is adhering to middle-class minimum standards. This has important knock-on implications:

you need to eliminate requirements for absolute lowest possible land costs (which restrict social housing to economically and socially isolated areas).

you need to raise allowable construction costs, so that you can achieve those aesthetic standards and avoid corner-cutting like smaller rooms and lower ceilings, single-thickness walls/floors/ceilings, no doors on cabinets or closets, cheap cladding and wiring and pipes and other building materials, low-quality insulation and HVAC, etc. Not only do middle-class folks notice this stuff and go elsewhere, but it's all penny-wise and pound-foolish, because cheap construction runs down faster which increases maintenance costs, and sometimes it just straight-up kills people.

you need to adequately finance maintenance, services, and amenities. This is crucial to keeping tenants with deeper pockets, but it's also another one of those things where penny-pinching is counter-productive in the long-run. The more you save on maintenance costs, the faster the buildings run down and the more expensive repairs you have to make. The more you save on services like superintendants and doormen, the more your tenants end up having to spend on handymen and the more you have to spend on police and repair costs. And so forth.

And there is a real potential here for all kinds of positive feedback loops: spending money on achieving higher standards of construction and operation means that you can hang onto and attract higher-income tenants, which means you can have sliding scale rents that cross-subsidize tenants and pay for higher construction and operating costs, and the poor and working class tenants who couldn't have paid for those higher costs and amenities on their own enjoy a "positive externality" for once.

Super strategies to govern and maintain Gender Equality in schools.

To effectively maintain gender equality in school, powerful strategies include: actively challenging gender stereotypes in curriculum and activities, using inclusive language, encouraging mixed-gender group work, providing diverse role models in educational materials, implementing teacher training on gender sensitivity, and actively addressing any instances of gender bias or harassment within the school environment.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀:

1.Curriculum review and integration:

▪️Incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences of women and men across all subjects, not just in dedicated "gender studies" classes.

▪️Analyze textbooks and teaching materials for gender bias and actively replace outdated stereotypes with inclusive representations.

Highlight achievements of women in STEM fields and other traditionally male-dominated areas.

2.Classroom practices:

▪️Promote mixed-gender group work on projects and activities to encourage collaboration.

▪️Avoid gender-segregated seating arrangements or activities.

▪️Use inclusive language and address students equally regardless of gender.

▪️Actively call out and address gender-based jokes or comments in the classroom.

3.Teacher training and awareness:

▪️Provide regular professional development for teachers on gender sensitivity and how to incorporate gender equality into their teaching practices.

▪️Encourage teachers to be mindful of their own unconscious biases and actively challenge gender stereotypes in their interactions with students.

4.Leadership and school culture:

▪️Foster a school climate where students feel safe to report instances of gender-based harassment or discrimination.

▪️Encourage female leadership roles in student government and extracurricular activities.

▪️Implement clear policies addressing gender-based violence and provide support systems for affected students.

5.Student engagement:

▪️Encourage open discussions about gender equality issues and empower students to become advocates for change.

▪️Incorporate student-led initiatives to promote gender equity within the school community.

▪️Provide opportunities for students to learn about gender equality issues through guest speakers, field trips, and awareness campaigns.

6.Important considerations:

▪️Data collection and analysis: Regularly collect and analyze data on gender disparities in student participation, academic performance, and disciplinary actions to identify areas needing improvement.

7.Community engagement:

▪️Partner with parents, local organizations, and community leaders to promote gender equality outside of school hours.

8.Addressing systemic barriers:

▪️Recognize and address potential barriers to gender equality within the school system, such as unequal access to resources or different expectations for girls and boys.

By actively implementing these strategies, schools can create a more equitable learning environment that empowers all students to reach their full potential regardless of gender.

“How to Ace a Statutory Audit: Expert Tips for CAs”

How to Ace a Statutory Audit: Expert Tips for CAs

Statutory audits are a critical aspect of ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. For Chartered Accountants (CAs), excelling in statutory audits not only enhances credibility but also builds trust with clients. This blog provides actionable tips to help CAs ace statutory audits while maintaining efficiency and accuracy.

What is a Statutory Audit?

A statutory audit is a legally mandated examination of a company’s financial records to ensure accuracy, compliance with regulatory frameworks, and fairness of financial statements. It is critical for maintaining transparency and trust among stakeholders.

Expert Tips to Ace a Statutory Audit

1. Understand the Client’s Industry

Every industry has unique compliance requirements and risks. Understanding the client's business operations, industry standards, and financial reporting norms is crucial.

Pro Tip:Before starting the audit, review industry-specific regulations and financial trends. For example, manufacturing companies may have inventory-intensive audits, while service industries may require a focus on revenue recognition.

2. Master the Audit Plan

A well-structured audit plan is the backbone of a successful statutory audit. It should detail timelines, areas of focus, and key deliverables.

Steps to Create an Effective Audit Plan:

Define the scope and objectives.

Allocate resources based on team expertise.

Include risk assessment procedures to identify high-risk areas.

3. Stay Updated on Standards

Keeping abreast of the latest accounting standards (like IFRS or GAAP) and auditing standards (like ISA or SA) is non-negotiable.

Quick Tip: Bookmark regulatory websites and subscribe to updates to stay informed. Regularly attending webinars and workshops on audit standards also helps. You can also take a statutory audit course to enhance your basic knowledge.

4. Leverage Technology

Audit tools like CaseWare, ACL, or IDEA can streamline processes, reduce manual errors, and enhance efficiency.

Example: Using data analytics tools helps identify anomalies or trends in financial data, making risk assessment more accurate and faster.

5. Communicate Effectively

Frequent communication with clients and your audit team ensures alignment and minimizes misunderstandings.

Checklist for Effective Communication:

Discuss expectations and timelines with the client.

Hold regular progress meetings.

Provide preliminary findings to avoid last-minute surprises.

6. Focus on Internal Controls

Assessing the effectiveness of internal controls is a critical aspect of a statutory audit. Weak controls often lead to financial misstatements.

Actionable Insight: Develop checklists to evaluate control processes such as approval workflows, segregation of duties, and compliance protocols.

7. Address Common Challenges

Statutory audits often come with their share of challenges, such as tight deadlines, missing documentation, or resistance from the client.

How to Overcome Challenges:

Tight Deadlines: Use project management tools to track progress.

Missing Documentation: Prepare a list of required documents in advance and follow up proactively.

Client Resistance: Build rapport and explain the audit's importance for their business credibility.

8. Review and Document Everything

Documentation is key to audit quality. Ensure every step, observation, and conclusion is recorded for reference and regulatory compliance.

Pro Tip: Use cloud-based documentation tools to maintain a centralized and secure audit trail.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Starting the audit without an engagement letter.

Overlooking related-party transactions.

Ignoring materiality thresholds during sampling.

Why Acing Statutory Audits is Crucial

Statutory audits build trust, ensure compliance, and add value to your client’s business. For CAs, mastering these audits enhances professional reputation and opens up new opportunities.

Current Rules Governing Rubbish Removal in Perth

Western Australia has established various regulations to encourage environmentally responsible rubbish removal and minimise the reliance on landfills. Below are the most notable policies currently in place:

Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2007 (WARR Act)

This legislation outlines a framework aimed at reducing waste production and improving recycling across diverse sectors, including businesses.

Companies are required to adopt strategies such as material reuse and optimised recycling to align with local sustainability objectives.

Waste Strategy 2030

The state government’s comprehensive waste management initiative seeks to achieve a 75% recovery rate for all waste materials by 2030.

Particular emphasis is placed on reducing waste from industrial and commercial sources, which contribute significantly to landfill volumes.

Businesses are encouraged to implement advanced recycling and waste sorting systems to meet these ambitious targets.

Container Deposit Scheme (WA Return Recycle Renew)

This scheme incentivises the recycling of beverage containers commonly found in both domestic and commercial waste streams.

Businesses handling these containers must participate in authorised collection schemes to ensure proper recycling or reuse.

Single-Use Plastics Ban

Certain single-use plastic items, including straws, cutlery, and bags, have been phased out in Western Australia.

Businesses are required to switch to reusable or biodegradable alternatives, impacting procurement and daily operations.

These regulations demonstrate a clear governmental push towards creating a circular economy where waste is minimised and resources are continuously reused.

Future Changes to Waste Management Rules

Businesses in Perth will soon need to adjust to upcoming regulations designed to further advance sustainable waste practices:

Mandatory Food and Garden Waste Separation (FOGO)

By 2025, businesses will be required to separate food and garden waste for composting or recovery, diverting these materials from landfills.

Industries such as hospitality and landscaping will need to introduce new systems for waste segregation.

Increased Landfill Levies

The state plans to significantly raise landfill levies, making disposal at landfill sites more expensive.

This move is intended to encourage businesses to invest in better recycling and waste reduction measures.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Programs

Producers will be made accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, from production to disposal.

Businesses may be required to implement processes that ensure their products and packaging are recyclable or disposed of responsibly.

These changes aim to promote sustainable waste management practices, making compliance both a financial and legal priority.

How Regulations Affect Perth Businesses

The tightening of waste management regulations brings both challenges and opportunities for businesses:

Increased Costs

Higher landfill levies and new compliance measures may lead to higher waste management expenses.

Operational Changes

Businesses will need to adopt processes for waste segregation, such as implementing FOGO bins and enhancing recycling efforts.

Training staff and updating waste-handling systems will be necessary to comply with the new rules.

Compliance Risks

Failing to meet regulatory standards could result in fines, penalties, or damage to a business’s reputation.

Industries that generate large amounts of waste may face more frequent audits and inspections.

Opportunities in Sustainability

Companies that embrace sustainable waste practices can improve their brand image, appeal to eco-conscious customers, and potentially reduce costs over the long term.

Steps to Ensure Compliance and Sustainability

Businesses can prepare for these changes by taking proactive steps to align with Perth’s waste management policies:

Conduct Waste Assessments

Regularly review your waste streams to identify areas for improvement, such as opportunities to recycle or reduce waste.

Work with Professional Rubbish Removal Services

Partnering with rubbish removal companies familiar with local regulations ensures proper disposal and compliance.

These experts can also provide advice on recycling and waste segregation best practices.

Adopt Sustainable Materials

Switch to biodegradable or reusable materials to reduce waste output and comply with single-use plastic bans.

Train Employees

Educate your team on effective waste management practices, such as sorting and recycling, to streamline compliance efforts.

Stay Updated

Monitor regulatory developments by subscribing to updates from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and local councils.

Utilise Smart Waste Management Solutions

Consider implementing smart bins or waste tracking systems to optimise recycling, minimise waste, and simplify compliance reporting.

Conclusion

Waste management regulations in Perth are evolving, with significant implications for businesses. While adapting to these changes may seem challenging, they also present opportunities for companies to enhance sustainability, meet customer expectations, and reduce environmental impact.

By staying informed about regulatory requirements, conducting regular waste audits, and collaborating with professional rubbish removal Perth services, businesses can maintain compliance and contribute to Perth’s waste reduction goals.

Take the first step towards sustainable waste management today by engaging a trusted rubbish removal service in Perth.

Title:

The Feasibility of Advanced Drainage Filter, With Waste Segregation Machine, Automated Sorting System

I.Introduction

In recent years, urbanization and industrial development in Iloilo City have led to a significant rise in waste generation, and waste water particularly in drainage systems, causing blockages, wasted energy resource, environmental pollution, and public health hazards. Drainage are elements in inlets or catch basins, drainage pipes, back flow prevented valves. However systems pollute water bodies by transporting untreated runoff with chemicals and debris, reduce groundwater recharge, cause erosion, and overflow during heavy rains, leading to floods. They frequently clog with waste, are costly to maintain, and disrupt natural habitats.To address this, an innovative solution is proposed: an advanced drainage filter integrated with an automated waste segregation machine.

II.Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine if the advanced drainage filter with waste segregation machine, automated sorting system as a drainage cleaner, to test by observing the filters and the segregation machine, to determine the qualities of the advanced drainage filter with waste segregation machine, automated sorting system.

III.Literature Review

According to Parvez Hayat (2023), urban solid waste is a significant issue in developing countries, with rural areas generating less waste. There are four types of waste in urban areas: household waste, biomedical/hospital waste, e-waste, and construction & demolition waste. Developing countries have not prepared an inventory of urban solid waste, and technology can help identify hotspots and track waste movement. The government should develop a standardized policy for disposing of household, e-waste, and medical waste, and establish a central ministry on solid waste management. This will help address the challenges of urban solid waste management in India.

A similar study conducted by Janusz Niemczynowicz (1994), A very basic problem of open material flows resulting in accumulation of pollution is not adequately addressed in present societies. Develope countries with expensive water-related infranstructure still contribute to local and global pollution. Developing countries to a great extent lack water treatment facilities and environmentally sound water management. Large scale end-of-pipe waste water treatment is one of the spectacular examples of technologies that must change in order to provide a sustainable solution.

According to Rowe, R.K and Van Gulck, J.F (2004) This paper discusses the long-term performance of filter and drainage materials in leachate collection systems and agriculutural drains. It reveals that clogging rate is influenced by factors like leachate strength, grain size, and granular drainage material. It also discusses estimating clog development and service life. However, it concludes that no predictive method exists for assessing clog formation or drain service life.

Additional study done by Sukkharak Saechia, Chalor Watronnachai, Taweesin treeyos 2023, 8th International STEM Education Conference (iSTEM-Ed), 11-4 2023, The research focuses on developing and evaluating an automatic solid waste collection prototype using solar energy to reduce river debris. The prototype filters solid waste from drainage pipes and transfers it to containers. Two types of control systems, automatic and manual, are proposed, each designed to use renewable energy stored in batteries. The experimental results show both systems function effectively, with manula controls operating anytime and automatic control maintaining heat while using line application for 100% accuracy.

Lastly, According to Serhii Klimov, Oleg Pinchuk, Serhii Kunytskiy, Anastasiia Klimova Journal of Water and Land Development, 90-95, 2019, it is crucial to limit alterations in areas adjacent to human economic activities. One effective method for achieving this is through the use of drainage-screened modules, which act as anti-filtration screens to redistribute the influence of nearby drainage systems. This approach helps to regulate the impact of drainage on human activities (like tailing dumps and populated areas) while minimizing the lowering of groundwater levels in surrounding territories. Implementing these modules in tailing farms enhances the stability of dikes and ensures the efficient removal of intercepted groundwater. The design allows water filtered through the dike structure to be collected by a drain, while excess filtration flow is blocked by the anti-filtration screen, thereby improving the overall filtration stability.

IV.Materials and Methods

The study will be conducted at Lopez St, Jaro, Iloilo City specifically at the Colegio de San Jose. And we will conduct our research study after the approval of the research proposal.

Materials Quantity Uses

Gauze screen 1pc Used to strain liquids and filter out small particles in drainages.

Stainless steel 3pc Use to supports the nets.

Mesh filter screen 2pc Filter dusts and small rocks.

Hepa screen 1pc iFlter out microscopic particles, such as dust, allergens, and pollutants, from the air.

Solar panels 5pcs Convert sunlight into electricity

Carbon Activated Filter

1pc Use to make water clear from contaminated water.

Grate inlet (garbage collector)

1pc Control the amount of sediment by trapping at the filters.

Ultra violet rays 2pc Killing bacteria in the filtered water.

V. Procedure

Using a stainless steel mesh filter gauze screen is integral to water filtration and treatment systems. This multi-step process begins with the mesh screen, which strains large particles and debris from raw water, followed by a carbon-activated filter that removes dissolved contaminants, enhancing taste and odor. A grate inlet filter acts as a garbage collector, capturing larger solids to protect downstream systems. Finally, ultraviolet (UV) treatment disinfects the water by inactivating pathogens. This systematic approach ensures high-quality, safe drinking water, with ongoing research aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of these filtration methods.

The contaminated water accompanied by material wastes will infiltrate into the domain of the filtration system. Ahead of the pipes locates a detector connected to a metallic separator with a length of 24 inches in width and a stainless metal barrier with a height of 3 inches to prevent the uncleaned solvent from entering the zone for garbage. As the object reaches the censor, the separator begins to lift at a speed of 0.08 milliseconds allowing the domestic refuse to enter and close after garbage collection. As the water streams further ahead, the first filtration for the polluted solvent will be the mesh screen. The screen will block the debris allowing the water to be 25% out of 100 filtered. The residue strained by the stainless-steel gauze screen will be pushed to the side with the use of a a machine that pushes the debris to the edge every 10 minutes. Once the first process concludes, the water will continue to flow and enter another sector of the filtration process. The next procedure activates the UV(Ultra-violet): To cleanse the solvent by eliminating the harmful microorganisms resulting in the water being reusable once more as non-potable water.

VI. Research Design

The experimental research was selected as the methodology to provide responses to the inquiries associated to the analysis. The research aims to innovate the drainage to an advanced drainage filter with waste segregation machine built with automated sorting system, to innovate the water filtration process without the consumption of electricity and be as eco-friendly as possible.

IVD Raw Materials: Ensuring Quality Control From Procurement to Production

Raw Material Procurement and Quality Testing The procurement of quality raw materials is the first and crucial step in the production of in vitro diagnostic devices. Various materials like reagents, antigens, antibodies, polymers and minerals are required as raw inputs. To ensure only materials meeting stringent specifications are procured, suppliers undergo a rigorous qualification and audit process.

Critical parameters like purity, potency, IVD Raw Materials ��composition and contamination levels are evaluated. Certificates of analysis are reviewed to check if the raw material meets pre-defined acceptance criteria. Periodic re-qualification of suppliers is done to verify they maintain consistent quality over time.

Random sampling and testing is conducted on incoming raw material shipments. Tests include identity verification, quantitative analysis, bioburden screening, endotoxin checks and validation of sterile filtration for heat sensitive components. Any deviations from specifications warrant an investigation and corrective actions before material acceptance. Comprehensive documentation and traceability is maintained for all incoming raw lots.

IVD Raw Materials Storage and Stability Monitoring After acceptance, raw materials are stored as per labeled storage requirements - some may need refrigeration or freezing, while others can be kept at ambient conditions. Designated quarantine and warehouse areas ensure proper segregation.

Environmental conditions of storage areas are continually monitored and recorded to confirm maintenance of set limits. Periodic reviews check for any excursions, equipment breakdowns or process deviations that could impact material stability.

Regular stability monitoring programs assess critical quality attributes of stored raw materials over time. Tests help prove labeled shelf-life or re-test periods and validate that materials maintain suitability for production throughout their intended lifespan. Out-of-specification results prompt corrective measures including rejection or re-processing.

Raw Material Change Control Minor modifications to approved supplier sites, transportation routes or raw material specifications require review and approval to address any potential quality impacts.

Significant changes warrant additional verification activities like method validation, real time and accelerated stability studies on materials manufactured using the changed process. Comparability assessments prove no adverse changes to performance, safety or effectiveness.

Only after successful change validation are revised materials released for commercial production. Rigorous change control safeguards maintain consistent quality of inputs vital for finished product quality and reliability.

Raw Material Quality in the Manufacturing Process Raw material quality directly influences finished product quality. Manufacturing processes are validated to demonstrate robustness even for slight input variability. In-process checks monitor critical parameters.

Materials are properly identified at all stages and batch records capture complete traceability. Environmental controls of manufacturing areas are maintained within pre-set action limits. Cross contamination prevention strategies are in place.

Process simulators and real time release testing help detect early if any raw material deviation may lead to failure to meet pre-defined acceptance criteria for the produced medical devices. Out of specification results trigger investigations.

IVD Raw Materials Related Nonconformities Despite preventive controls, raw material or supplier nonconformities sometimes arise necessitating containment actions. Impacted lots are immediately quarantined and prevented from further use.

Root cause analysis determines corrective measures and extent of trace forward and backward impact on finished devices. Possible device recalls are evaluated if patient safety could be compromised. Lessons learned help strengthen procurement and control strategies.

An effective raw material management system supported by science-based quality oversight enables consistent production of safe and effective IVD products. Continuous improvement further enhances the reliability of this critical first link in the diagnostic device value chain.

How is Halal Certification obtained in Nigeria?

Halal Certification in Nigeria

Halal certification in Nigeria, with a vibrant Muslim population estimated at over 50%, presents a significant market for Halal-certified products. For businesses operating in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and other sectors, obtaining Halal certification can unlock a wealth of opportunities. But what exactly does it take to secure this valuable stamp of approval? This blog delves into the requirements for Halal certification in Nigeria, equipping businesses with the knowledge they need to embark on this crucial journey.

Getting to know Halal certification in Nigeria beyond permissible ingredients

Halal certification in Nigeria, an Arabic term translating to “lawful” or “permitted,” encompasses a broad spectrum of Islamic guidelines governing food, consumption, and production practices. While the absence of pork and alcohol is well-known, Halal certification in Nigeria goes far deeper. It ensures adherence to ethical animal slaughter methods, prohibits certain additives and contaminants and emphasizes cleanliness throughout the production process.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Halal Certification in Nigeria

The process of acquiring Halal certification in Nigeria typically involves several key steps:

Choosing a Reputable Certification Body: Multiple Halal certification bodies operate in Nigeria. Selecting a body accredited by the Department of Islamic Guidance and Values (DIGVA) or a reputable international body. Factors to consider include the body’s experience, expertise, and recognition within the target market.Application Submission: The chosen certification body will provide a detailed application form. This form typically requests comprehensive information about the business, including its products, ingredients, suppliers, and production processes. Pre-Assessment Audit: The certification body may conduct a pre-assessment audit once the application is submitted. This audit involves a preliminary review of the business’s documentation and production facilities to identify potential areas of non-compliance. Detailed Documentation and Ingredient Scrutiny: A critical aspect of the process involves meticulously documenting every ingredient, source, and permissibility according to Halal certification in Nigeria. Any questionable ingredients will require clarification from the certification body or a qualified scholar. Facility Inspection and In-Depth Review: The Halal certification in Nigeria body will thoroughly inspect the business’s production facilities. This inspection focuses on hygiene practices, equipment usage, storage procedures, and the segregation of Halal and non-Halal materials. Addressing Non-Compliance Issues: The audit may identify areas where the business’s practices do not align with Halal requirements. The certification body will provide a detailed report outlining any corrective actions necessary. The company will be required to implement these changes before proceeding further. Training and Awareness: Certification bodies often recommend training programs for relevant personnel within the business. These programs educate employees on Halal principles and ensure they understand the importance of maintaining Halal compliance throughout production. Final Assessment and Certification: A final assessment may be conducted once all corrective actions have been implemented and the certification body is satisfied. If successful, the business will be awarded the Halal certification in Nigeria.

While the core principles remain consistent, Halal certification in Nigeria requirements may vary slightly depending on the industry:

Food and Beverage: Stringent guidelines exist for animal slaughter, meat handling, and additives. Processes like stunning animals before slaughter and avoiding alcohol-based ingredients are crucial. Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: The focus is on ensuring ingredients are free from animal-derived components deemed non-Halal, like porcine gelatin, and that the production process does not involve contact with non-Halal materials.Logistics and Storage: Proper segregation methods and storage practices are essential to prevent cross-contamination with non-Halal products.

Halal certification in Nigeria is a short-term achievement. Businesses must maintain ongoing compliance through regular audits and adhere to the guidelines set forth by the certification body. This requires a commitment from all levels of the organization, from management to production personnel.

Benefits of Halal Certification in Nigeria

For businesses in Nigeria, Halal certification in Nigeria offers a multitude of advantages:

Market Expansion: Access a vast and lucrative domestic Muslim market with a growing demand for Halal products.Enhanced Brand Image: The Halal certification mark signifies trust, ethical production, and religious adherence. This can significantly improve a brand’s reputation among Muslim consumers and potentially attract non-Muslim customers who value ethical practices. Export Opportunities: Gain access to the global Halal market, valued in trillions of dollars, opening doors for international trade.Competitive Advantage: Stand out from competitors in a crowded marketplace .
