| description | The municipal waste stream is evaluated within an operations context for
the purpose of deploying interface management to improve performance.
Using a set of nine municipalities in Limpopo Province, South Africa,
stratified random sampling produced 225 observations made up of
collection, treatment, and landfill sites. Field observation and repeated
measurement of eight predictors and one response variable were used to
collect data, followed by an experimental set of 29 sites where a three-cycle
treatment of loadings was used to record changes in the response variable.
A primary data set was initially entered into Excel to generate descriptive
statistics. Multiple linear regression and correlation were performed using
the stepwise option after testing for normality and collinearity. The results
show statistically significant final models (F (1,221) = 1093.23, 105.77,
p.001), with an adjusted R2 of.040 and a 95% confidence level. Technical and
managerial problems in waste management are critical at interfaces that
provide ideal sites for targeted interventions to accelerate the rates of waste
flow to landfills. The contribution of the study lies in the development of an
interface-based method for improving the performance of the waste stream.
The implications speak to issues of waste management that feed into
concerns about sustainable urbanisation today. |
