This paper presents a quality model as a method for a user-oriented visualization of quality information and quality control in industrial assembly. The quality situation of an examination object will be quantified and evaluated through quality and inspection characteristics based on a vector display with special focus on the collaboration between man and system for active quality control. The obj... View full abstract»

An increase in cement production capacity made by the management of XYZ Cement Company in recent years has affected the number of bags of cement produced by the bag factory of XYZ. The addition of a new production line is one of the efforts made by the factory pouch pockets to be able to meet increased demand. However, the increase in the quantity of production of cement bags has not been in lined... View full abstract»

The improvement of quality is based on the continuous monitoring of inputs and products during the processes for the development of different goods or services. When it is possible to measure or compare inputs and outputs, statistical tools such as control charts are useful for evaluating the degree of compliance achieved with respect to specifications. Statistical process control (SPC) assists th... View full abstract»

Recent years, people emphasize more on equipment quality. After the conclusion of previous studies, the factors influencing quality can be divided into three categories: design and building, customer behavior and customer support, all of which are the key factors affecting the quality of equipment. All of these factors will be demonstrated through Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), durability, co... View full abstract»

In recent years, energy and resource efficiency have become crucial factors in the automotive sector. Challenges, such as stricter environmental requirements or rising resource costs necessitate a sustainable product life cycle, as well as sustainable manufacturing processes. Hence, the focus lies on the car body development, which has a significant impact on the overall weight of a vehicle. The t... View full abstract»

Neural network provides a new research method for equipment fault diagnosis with its inherent memory ability, self-learning ability and strong fault tolerance. Firstly, this paper studies the fault diagnosis and BP Neural Network and proposes an improved cuckoo search algorithm. Secondly, the research builds the model of fault diagnosis for equipment with CS-BP on the basis of equipment fault diag... View full abstract»

While it is known that use of coolant and lubricants in machining of titanium alloys help to improve machinability, the coolants are often poured on cutting zones to carry the heat while they flow away. In the absence of positive mechanism to drive the coolants away, the heat dissipation does not occur effectively. This work therefore, proposes a novel application of heat sink approach for dissipa... View full abstract»

Apart from posing a threat to people's security, liquid pipeline leak will generate a large scale of environmental pollution, taking its toll for individuals and enterprises. An active control can minimize the impact. The hydraulic system of a pipeline is rather complex under leak condition, making it difficult to work out a plan for the optimal control scheme of pipeline's hydraulic devices. Rese...

Warship technology supportability system is a typical complex system as it involves the complicated relationships among human, machine and environment. For this reason, human errors causing accidents are also complicated in the system, and affected by the relationships between the structure of warship technology supportability system and its subsystems, including human, organization and environmen...

This paper aims to explore and integrate the technical issues for successful implementation of Lean Manufacturing. An extensive literature survey is carried out to build an exhaustive list of all the input technical manifests necessary for lean implementation, coupled with a similar exhaustive list of all the benefits accrued from its successful implementation. A structural model is thus conceptua... View full abstract»

There has been deluged and overflowing composition published in knuckle joints and its importance in automobile industries. Achieving manufacture excellence through better quality and productivity is the objective lens of many industries in present. Every governance is trying hard in the process of customer retention (Voice of The Customer VOC and Critical To Quality CTQ) by controlling costs and ... View full abstract»

By the introduction of industry 4.0 (I4.0), which is characterized by a decentralized intelligence as well as an autonomy of the product development, new challenges have arisen with regard to the existing technologies and planning of industrial plants. Most concepts developed are used by manufacturers of various branches themselves and have manufacturer specific scenarios, standards and requiremen... View full abstract»

Fuzzy Front End (FFE) phase of innovation is a period from the time when an idea is conceived until new product development stage begins. In the proposed model, many ideas are taken into consideration in different discrete time intervals during screening process. Evaluation of ideas are based on iterative intuition decisions made by different teams. The degree of uncertainty, dependency, interdepe... View full abstract»

The U-type assembly line is currently the focus research in production enterprises. However, the traditional assembly line balancing mostly optimizes the single objective ignoring the relationships between each other. Therefore, through the transformation of assembly sequence, a multiple objective mathematical model of the U-type assembly line is established based on the present analysis of enterp...

From cutting shapes out of metal or wood to welding, screwing or lifting heavy objects, the application and versatility of robots in industry is vast. Their programs however are typically very static and only used in pre-defined, static settings, thus they cannot deal with changing production tasks. Whenever a special problem has to be solved several times with different parametrizations, transfer... View full abstract»

Due to the growing consensus on the adverse effects of fossil fuel usage in energy production, renewable energy has gained a considerable amount of attention, especially in the last decade. Many countries increased their installed renewable power capacity during this period. Currently, China is the world leader in terms of installed renewable power capacity. Among all renewables (except hydro), wi... View full abstract»

With the development of humanlike robots, more service providers are applying this technology and there is no exception in the tourism and hospitality industry. Yet, it is unclear how different gender and age groups perceive robots in the service encounter. The present study investigates customers' perceptions toward the smiling behaviors, especially with various degrees of head tilts, of humanlik... View full abstract»

In general terms, the productive organizations can be classified into three broad categories including (1) Make to Stock (MTS), (2) Make to Order (MTO) and (3) Assemble to Order (ATO) in terms of level of production, demand volume and process. Since the present study falls into the second and third categories and considering particular specifications of Make to Order manufacturing system which is ... View full abstract»
