Quality Improvement of Municipal Fahmy

Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: Excellent, University of Alexandria (Faculty of Engineering-Production Department), course: Quality Improvement Tools and Techniques being used in the Analysis of an Environmental Problem, language: English, comment: The main point of view that thesis is focusing on is to turn the solid wastes in Egypt from an expenditure to the municipality budget to a national resource. The amounts of wastes in general in Egypt is huge and if all the world now are using wastes for the country's benefit so why Egypt can not do the same. But when digging deep in the problem it was realized that a cultural problem exists besides the regular complications like financial shortage and weak law enforcement. Thus, the problem to be solved needs an integrated solution that merges cultural enhancement means with managerial means., abstract: Environmental quality is a prime concern to sustain the development of Egypt. Solid wastes generated from human settlements are of the major environmental issues that concern and challenge Egypt today. SWM is a crucial public service issue affecting both environment and health. SWM in Egypt have always been, and will continue to be one of the most pressing challenges facing the Egyptian authorities for the coming decades unless appropriate solutions are derived. The intention of this search is to implement Quality Improvement Techniques in Environmental Engineering Field to analyze the Egyptian Waste Management problem and find applicable solutions according to the current situation givens. The main focus is on municipal solid wastes excluding hazardous wastes from it. SWM problem in Egypt can be summarized as the absence of a regular waste collection service; waste is dumped in open spaces, on access roads which are invaded by animals and waste pickers so, wastes are scattered and serve as breeding grounds for disease vectors and with the leachate from decomposing garbage
