The “Sabra Salads” factory produces salads and hummus, aiming for efficient, continuous production with minimal downtime and increased output. This project focuses on the Packaging Department, a key part of the operation. Data was collected by means of time measurements, observations, and employee-reported malfunctions. The findings were analyzed using a Pareto Chart to identify major issues. Simulation models and forecasts were created to assess the current state and propose improvements. Key solutions included refining work procedures, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing quality control. The project goals were to eliminate bottlenecks and improve efficiency by means of data-driven insights and recommendations.

Many students at SCE in Ashdod struggle with commuting due to high private vehicle costs and inadequate public transportation. Private cars impose financial burdens, such as fuel, insurance and maintenance, while also contributing to environmental pollution. Public transportation in the region is limited and does not meet the students’ needs. To address this issue, the Student Union created a WhatsApp ridesharing group, but it lacks organization and accessibility. The goals of this project are to establish a dedicated information system that improves ride coordination, reduces expenses, and minimizes the negative environmental impact. Our system enables students to easily offer and request rides, enhancing efficiency and transparency. Additionally, it fosters social interaction and encourages broader participation by means of an intuitive, user-friendly platform with incentives for engagement.
Keywords: carpooling, information system, public transport, student union, user experience (UX)
