Industrie 4.0 aims at flexible production networks that require horizontal integration across companies. Evidently, any production related information exchanged in the network must be vertically forwarded to the corresponding service endpoints of the local production system. Accordingly, there is a need to align information that flows between companies and within each company. The Resource-Event-Agent...
The increasing amount of gathered sensor data in Industry 4.0 allows comprehensive data analysis software that creates value-adding opportunities. As companies often cannot implement such software by themselves and as they typically don't want to give their data to external scientists, they commission them to build the required software in order to execute it locally. However, installing, configuring,...
Describing business processes by directed graphs is a common way for system designers, because it makes easier to realize how the process goes on. However the concept of serviceoriented architecture increased difficulty of the business process management system development, because the specification of the whole system and each software unit are different in general. Therefore, describing behavioral...
The advent of the internet of things and industry 4.0 bring new paradigms that tend to affect the way of organizing several human activities, among them the production processes that are ruled by production and human work on a large scale in the production lines. Therefore, it is inevitable to think of how to prepare students for this new, oncoming reality, since these students will have to deal with...
The revolution caused by the advancement of technology, globalization and internet-enabled manufacturing is rapidly changing the manufacturing industry and requires engineers with different and more diverse knowledge than provided by traditionally-based curricula. In order to fill the emerging gap in engineering education we, educators, have to start thinking about preparing students for the future...
In modern industrial control, it is significant to achieve interoperability of state data and control data at field level and service management layer. Therefore, the demand for data exchange and sharing is getting higher and higher. This paper presents a research of the common mainstream network protocols on industrial network architecture of Northbound Interface, then it makes a comprehensive analysis...
Every company (including machinery manufacturing and construction companies) leads to increase its activities' profitability and to improve quality performance indicators, such as processes operating and safety culture, safety level, human resources satisfaction level, and goodwill. Lean manufacturing and lean construction (derivative of lean manufacturing) enable to reach these goals. The article...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an enterprise management system that integrates and streamlines business processes and functions, including supply chain management (SCM), across entire organization according to the organization's needs. The function of SCM in an ERP is to maintain manufacturing supply chain, which starts from input of data such as bill of material (BOM), planning, and procurement,...
Managing risks in supply chains is challenging for most companies, given the globalisation process which is strengthening the production constraints and also introducing more procurements risks. This is especially difficult for smaller companies because they generally lack resources to develop a specific expertise or buy expensive tools. Our research aims at addressing those issues by proposing an...
Managing risks in supply chains is challenging for most companies given that the globalisation process is strengthening production constraints and also introducing more procurements risks. This is difficult for smaller companies in particular as they lack the resources necessary to develop specific expertise or buy expensive tools. Our research aims to address these issues by proposing an easy to...
Listed companies' irrational investment behavior was widespread in China. Traditional theory explain this phenomenon in the assumption of “rational economic man”. With the development of behavioral finance theory, research indicates that over-confidence can lead to over-investment decisions. This paper used Richardson's residual model to measure over-investment and creatively used shares' rises when...
In this paper, we have successfully formulated problems of the closed-loop supply chain network based on the triple-bottom-line perspective. Specifically this paper measures the level of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and captures that the customer demand is influenced by the level of CSR, which is rarely discussed in the current supply chain management literature. Since the formulation has...
Aiming at the problem of the effect of information technology and its impact on the performance of the manufacturing industry. Based on the existing research, we sets information hardware and software investment as explanatory variables, the number of highly educated employees as the moderator variables, the enterprise performance as the explanatory variables. This paper makes an empirical study of...
In this paper, green product deletion implications for supply chain management are investigated. A strategic framework is introduced. The strategic and inter-organizational relationships associated with this decision help set the stage for future research on this critical, yet neglected managerial and industrial marketing issue.
The Product-Service System (PSS) has evolved from the manufacturing servitisation, which is an extension of the service component around a product for business activities. A PSS has been described as a manufacturing transition strategy, shifting the business focus from selling physical products only, to selling PSS, which are jointly capable of fulfilling specific client demands'. The change in human...
This article represents the setting of a generalized task on the assignment based on the classic assignment task (or selection task), inefficiency of the solutions search of the generalized task on assignments with the help of the classical assignment task algorithms. A PC algorithm has been developed and implemented for calculation of the “block indicator” allowing one to find the number of solutions...
In this paper, a new model based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Inverse Data Envelopment Analysis (IDEA) is presented for estimating the effect of electricity on the output of industrial companies. To this end, the effect of electricity deviation, which serves as one input that can influence a manufacturing company's final product, is evaluated. Intuitively, it is known that a direct relationship...
Composite materials, also known as fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs), possess advantageous properties like stiffness, light weight and resistance to corrosion that surpass that of traditional materials. Composite materials may give manufacturing companies the opportunity to improve the technical specifications of a component/structure and also impact the configuration of the supply chain. A European-based...
With today manufacturing technology, it is not possible to eliminate all defects and ensure every manufactured unit is perfect. Instead, each manufactured unit must be tested so that defective parts are not shipped to a customer. Different Test Strategies are commonly used since none is considered as optimal in terms of low defect level. Most companies use some but not all of the following three Test...
