There are also few units of leather shoe manufacturers in northern and hilly provinces. Most cottage industries work IWithout any machinery but only hand tools. There are many small-scale units, that employ basic technologies. Certain small-scale units have installed 'machines, which bring quality in shoe manufacturing and also increase the, production. Making shoes manually requires a lot of skill and time. The demand both in Laos and on international front has increased along with increased importance of punctuality of export commitments has led to a requirement, ipartial mechanization of these units. This change has long come in western kountrtes and the production process has also Significantly developed. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/6216 Production Of Handmade Bricks Bricks are the most essential ingredients of building construction. Though building material technology has undergone a sea change but little has been! lachieved as an alternative to the traditional brick. With increasing population and: .the corresponding increase in housing construction, the demand for bricks is ever ,increasing. Brick production can be done right from small scale to large scale !through automatic furnace. The scale of production and technology used would .decide the capital investment. While a handmade furnace would require an 'mvestment of Kip 24 mn, a fully automatic brick furnace would require an investment of Kip 1 bn. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/6215 Manufacturing Unit of Hollow & Dense Cement Concrete Blocks IWith the increase in cost of traditional construction material, research and development of alternative forms of construction material, which is economically viable and of same quality and durability as traditional material, is being carried out. In the series, hollow and dense cement concrete blocks known as hollow, blocks, have been developed as an alternative to bricks. The hollow blocks are, made of cement; stone chips, stone dust and sand are not only cheaper than i iconventlonal bricks but have other specialties as well. These blocks have more tensile strength, the walls constructed from these blocks act as thermal .msutators because of their hollowness, which also make them heat and cold resistant. These blocks find wide applicability and construction cost is largely Ireduced. About Kip 4000 is saved per sq ft of construction cost, using hollow 'blocks as compared to traditional bricks. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/6214 Manufacture Of Roofing Tiles Following M.C.R Technique Housing is man's basic need. Though in this respect efforts have been made to I make available a roof for everyone, but the rising cost of building material has'I become worrisome. The only solution to the rising cost of building material is development of building material, which is not only cheap but also durable, using alternative techniques. In respect of roofs, tiles have been developed which are not only cost effective but also match the quality of other types currently available. The roofing tiles developed through a technique called Micro ConcreteI Roofing is a result of worldwide research and is being extensively used in SouthI America, African and South East Asian countries. M.C.R tiles are .widely used in I Laos too. But these are not produced but imported from neighboring countries. I The process is very easy and technology required is readily available. Over and I above this the cost of the tiles being imported is very high as compared to the' cost of production. Hence this product can be produced within Laos and a I reasonably high profit can be expected from this project. Specialty of M.C.RTiles: 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
