Extended waiting time for treatment in National hospitals is very common in S ri Lanka. This situation has created several problems to patients, doctors and even to other health workers. The quality of service leaves a lot to be desired and is costly to the economy. This study analyses different queues which create bottlenecks in the Out Patient De...
The objective of this study is to propose a feasible technology transfer and cooperation mechanism in order to overcome the barriers that the country face in developing the renewable energy sector of Sri Lanka. Two cases pertaining to the development of wind power sector in India and China were studied to propose a plausible renewable energy techno...
Literature states that most successful corporations and nations have used scenarios as a tool to lead the energy sector. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to develop scenarios of Sri Lankan energy future to picture the Sri Lankan renewable energy sector by year 2030. This study presents a seven step scenario development model to develop s...
In the Sri Lankan context fuel wood and agricultural residues are the most common form of biomass available for electricity generation. However by 31 st October 2012, only a 0.5MW biomass power plant which uses fuel woods was in operation. Convenient biomass which uses agricultural residues are the only biomass solution that operate effectively in...
As per the International Energy Agency (IEA) 2009 report, rapidly growing energy demand in developing countries is projected to double by 2030. After ending the three decades of civil war, the Sri Lankan economy has also shown a robust growth; hence the country has shown a continuous growth in energy demand. In 1995 Sri Lanka met 95% of the total e...
Though Sri Lanka has the highest potential to self-sufficient with renewable energy as of year 2012 more than 70% of country's electricity requirements were met with imported fossil fuels. Most of the renewable energy technology options have been analysed based on technical grounds. But studies indicate that numbers of social, technological, econom...

Though Sri Lanka's current carbon footprint is much less than the global vale, the country's existing and planned economic developments which in turn raised the demand for power has resulted an increase in GHG emission. The GHGs are emitted mostly by burning of fossil fuels for energy generation including transport. Thus one of the most effective w...
In 1995 Sri Lanka produced 95% of the grid electrical energy needs from conventional hydro power plants. But today Sri Lanka's electricity generation sector is largely dominated by fossil fuel sources. Though the Sri Lanka's current carbon foot print is much less than the global average, rising energy demand has resulted in escalated greenhouse gas...
Manufacturing globalization warrants researches in the two important related areas. First, the evaluation and comparison of performance based on the structure and future requirements of an industry. Second, the evaluation of essential synergistic effects resulted from sharing of resources in different forms of partnerships. This paper presents two...
During recent years more and more companies have embarked on studying the feasibility of globalising their manufacturing activities as a means of gaining access to new markets, minimising production costs and taking advantage of regional investment incentives. The steel industry in the developed countries in the West is at cross roads today. Demand...
