ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol.05-Issue.33-August 2024 Vastu Guidelines on Design of Factories Introduction With increased industrial developmental activities, thanks to globalization and commercialization, many factories are coming up or upgrading at a rapid pace. Along with that comes challenges of maintaining or improving productivity, quality, profitability and guarding against machinery breakdown, site accidents and other disasters. Thus comes the importance of Vastu for industries – Industrial Vastu. Vastu is an architectural concept, incorporating nature with architecture, underscoring the basic concept that five fundamental elements of nature, air, water, space, sky, and fire, should maintain symmetry in a property. Vastu for plot shape and its slope The first crucial factor is the plot shape – squared shape plot is considered best as per Vastu. Another most important factor is plot slope which is best if it is sloping downward to North (N) or Northeast (NE). This is mainly because the Earth’s magnetic field is from NE to SW, thus a slope towards NE gives the best advantage of the magnetic flow. Factory boundary and Office building placement in the south and west than those Boundary walls, as per Vastu, should be higher and in thicker towards the North and East. It is since Sun's path is from East to West via South and SW. In the afternoon when Sun is in the South and SW, there is an increase in UV radiation. Whereas lower and in thinner walls absorbing beneficial infrared rays in the morning and early afternoon. Factory building to be placed in the SW, SE, or South, as these areas are considered most auspicious and believed to bring most profitability. South and West areas in the office are not to be left vacant. in the North and East helps Main Entrance and Office of the Owner It is crucial to place the main entrance on the eastern wall of the compound as this plays a significant role in determining the overall Vastu of the factory.

ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol.05-Issue.33-August 2024 Temple Placement To maintain the good Vastu in the factory, place the temple in the NE zone of the factory, which is considered as the zone of Lord Shiva. It is advisable to place a lamp in front of it which will attract good energy. Also, the area around the temple should not be cluttered. Water Structures Location Water structures including underground water tanks, water pumps, bore wells, etc. are advised to be placed in the North or NE zone of the factory. Overhead tanks are best to be placed in the SW zone of the factory. Septic Tank, as per Vastu, is to be placed in the West of Northwest or South of Southwest, as this ensures the containment of negative water energy. Office of the Owner to be in South, SW, or West direction as it is considered that South can bring fame and authoritative position industry, whereas West is considered the direction of overall profit. in the Position of machinery, heating equipment and electrical controls Machinery (heavy and light machinery), as per Vastu, are best to be placed in the SE or South zone of the factory. Heating equipment such as boilers, transformers, electrical control panels, etc. are good to be placed in the SE zone of the factory as it is considered that this will help to reduce the ill-effects in the factory by minimizing the accident risks and machinery breakdown. Storage house of raw material and finished good it As per Vastu, is advisable to place the raw material storage house in the East of Northeast (ENE) or East or East of Southeast (ESE) direction and the finished good storage in the NW zone of the factory. This ensures the regular flow of the finished good is maintained and thereby ensuring good profits for the company. Also, it is suggested that both the storages are never to be placed in the same zone. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol.05-Issue.33-August 2024 Maslow's Hierarchy Theory PROTEIN FUNCTIONALIZATION PROTEIN FUNCTIONALIZATION Introduction Security and safety Needs theory states Abraham Maslow's hierarchy theory of needs is one of the best-known theories of Motivation. that our actions are Maslow's motivated by certain physiological needs. It is often represented by a pyramid of needs, with the most basic needs at the bottom and more complex needs at the top. The hierarchy states that people are move eager to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs. The needs that are at the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid are the basic needs including the need for food, water, and sleep. Once you are met with these lower-level needs people move on to the next level of needs including safety and security. Maslow believes that these needs play a major role in motivating behavior. There are five different levels of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, starting with the lowest level known as physiological Needs. As now moving toward the second level of Maslow’s hierarchy, now the needs start to become a little more complex, the need for safety and security become primary. a.Health and wellness b.Safety against accidents and injury c.Emotional Security d.Financial security People want control and order in their lives. So, the need for safety and security contributes largely to behaviors at this level. As they want to experience predictability and control in their lives. Finding a good job, obtaining health insurance and health care, contributing some money to a savings account for a better future, and moving into a safer neighborhood are all examples of actions motivated by security and safety needs. Physiological Needs Esteem Needs The physiological needs are vital and very important for our survival. Some examples of Physiological needs are: i.Food ii.Water iii.Breathing iv.Sex v.Sleep Now in the fourth level in Maslow’s hierarchy is the need for appreciation and respect. Once the need at the bottom three levels has been satisfied, esteem needs play a very important role in motivating behavior. READ MORE.... PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol.05-Issue.33-August 2024 Conclusion In conclusion, Abraham Maslow’s theory is very important and has a connection with the function of human resources. The physiological need is the basic needs that everyone has to perform then will proceed to the other needs which are safety needs that everyone feels safe in doing something and that always encourage people to communicate with everyone and supposedly don’t have to feel shy and everyone should have high self-esteem and the last one is self-actualization. then social needs is careful and for oneself Maslow classified esteem needs into two categories: achievement, esteem mastery, independence) and the desire for reputation or respect from others (e.g., status, prestige). (dignity, At this level, it becomes important to gain respect and appreciation for others. People need to sense that they are valued by others and feel that they are making a contribution to the world. Self-actualization needs At the very peak in Maslow’s hierarchy, there are self-actualization needs. Now people are self-aware, concerned, very well know what’s right what’s wrong, less concerned with the opinions of others, and interested in fulfilling their needs. "What a man can be, he must be," Maslow explained, referring to the need people have to achieve their full potential as human beings. This includes the urge to become what you are capable of becoming / what you have the potential to become. It also includes the desire for gaining more knowledge, social- service, creativity, and being aesthetic. The self-actualization needs are never individual grows psychologically, opportunities keep cropping up to continue growing. fully satiable. As an PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

Crown Basmati Rice introduces Diet Rice after expanding its global presence to over 30 countries. The FSSAI has avoided controversy by retracting its decision to ban food businesses from using A1 and A2 categorization for milk and milk products. Previously, the food regulator had criticized the differentiation as 'misleading'. The withdrawal notice states, "We would like to inform you that the advisory dated 21.08.2024 regarding Selling/Marketing of Milk & Milk products such as Ghee, Milk etc. in the name of A1 & A2 has been withdrawn for further consultation and engagement with the stakeholders." Experts suggest that the decision seemed to have been made under influence from interested parties and without consultations with the stakeholders. The ban was based on the argument that it was not consistent with the provisions of the FSS Act, 2006, and that the Food Safety and Standards (Food Product Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011, do not address the same. Crown Rice, a prominent player in the rice industry, has introduced its latest product, Diet Rice, aimed at health-conscious consumers. This premium Basmati variant boasts a low glycemic index (GI), aligning with modern dietary preferences and reflecting the company's focus on offering healthier alternatives. This launch also marks a significant milestone in the company's global expansion, with its products now available in over 30 countries. The unique involving soaking, hydration process undergone by the rice, steaming, and drying at specific temperatures, enhances its nutritional value by increasing vitamin content and maintaining mineral levels. Additionally, the cooling process encourages the development of type 3-resistant starch, which supports gut health as a prebiotic. With double the fiber content of regular white rice and a low glycemic index of 55 or less, Diet Rice maintains the beloved taste of rice while delivering superior nutritional benefits for consumers.
