IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) is a technology that combines industrial techniques, “smart sensors” and “smart devices” in a network. Such technology allows memorizing, analyzing and integrating data from all “smart sensors” to a single workspace. As part of IIoT it generally considered “intelligent enterprises” (transport, engineering, processing, etc.) and, in some ways, “intelligent machines”...
currently, there are several “Start-Up” businesses in Thailand which could be seen by registered entrepreneurs for more than 90 percent of these businesses and there are more than 60 percent out of all workers who have been hired. This study is aimed to study frameworks of the relations' factors which are going to create a “Customer Value” by applying a Customer Value Hierarchy Model including infrastructure,...
The article discusses the concept of a balanced solution of economic tasks and problems of preservation of the environment, research of problems of environmental management, the analysis of existing approaches to environmental-economic environmental management, methodological bases of perfection of system of nature management on the basis of improving environmental and economic security management...
Today's Challenge for many manufacturing companies is how to improve product quality and reduce the production cost of the products offered in the market. Quality improvement must be performed by a company to maintain its product's competitiveness in the market. Quality improvement and cost reduction can be performed by allocating investments to reduce the value of the variance in the component of...
The production planning and control process is performed within complex and dynamic organizations made up of customer expectations, equipment, materials, people, information, and technologies. Changes in both internal and external factors can create a variety of unforeseen events, which make initial plans unfeasible or obsolete during production execution. How to effectively handle the unscheduled...
The purpose of this paper is to identify areas throughout a product's lifecycle processes where complexity can be reduced by implementing a product configuration system (PCS). As discussed in the literature, several benefits are realized by using a PCS in terms of product and process standardization. This also leads to control and reduce of complexity both in products and processes. To this end, this...
As manufacturing firms (MFs) experience increasing competition in the global economy, it is vital to seek competitive advantage through the continuous improvement of performance within manufacturing processes. This requires a systematic approach to enhance performance by engaging staff at all levels to effectively take part in performance-enhancing efforts. The implementation of Toyota Kata has been...
This paper analyzes Grid Square Statistics on job opportunity ads collected from a Japanese Internet job matching site (“from A navi”). We confirm a relationship between the number of job opportunities and socioeconomic quantities (the population, the numbers of firms and workers) in each 1-km and 10-km Grid Square. The number of workers is the best variable to explain the number of job opportunities...
There has been an increase in the study of discrete simulation projects; however, literature lacks the topic of effectively managing these projects. Therefore, in this research, some principles from project management were applied in a discrete event simulation project. The action research method was used to implement the study. The ten knowledge areas from PMBOK®'s (2013) project management theory...
Process Improvement is an aspect of organizational development in which a series of actions are taken by a process owner or process analyst to identify, analyze and improve existing business processes within an organization for optimization and to meet new quotas or standards of quality. The shoe industry in Marikina City which is the shoe capital of the Philippines is lagging behind its neighboring...
As innovation becomes important and complex, researchers started to explore innovation process under the background of Big Data. Technology Delivery System (TDS), a systematic method dynamically showing innovation process, has caused the extensive concern worldwide. As an essential step to construct TDS better, this study aims to identify main delivery actors in TDS based on multi-data sources, then...
The application of lean manufacturing that is so standardized gives negative aspects for a company, such as the possibility of increased mental workload of employees. The purpose of this study is to observe the relation between lean manufacturing performance and employee' mental workload. This research is conducted at an Indonesian aircraft company in division Manufacturing (DPM), Component Assembly...
This paper will address how to develop a strategy when developing and implementing product configuration systems (PCSs) in engineer-to-order (ETO) companies. PCSs are often gradually implemented especially where there are complex products and processes in order to break down the overall project and reduce risk. This highlights the importance of having an overall strategy to guide the long-term development...
Excellence in product development results from integrating various stakeholders' requirements into a winning offering. Customer care has become increasingly important, as digitalization enables new business models and revenue streams for companies. The integration of care requirements must be enabled in the product development (PD) process beginning in the early concepting and development phases in...
Excellence of operations can support all selected strategies. Process excellence is fundamental for companies to be able to implement a chosen strategy. Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry are no exception to this rule, but the framework to review their processes' maturity has not been widely examined. This study presents a maturity model developed especially for...
Improving customer satisfaction is important in order to create a good relationship between a company and its customers which will give benefit to both sides. One way to accomplish it is by conducting quality improvement. Quality improvement has a strong relationship with the customer satisfaction, so it is an important issue in manufacturing. This paper discusses an optimization model to allocate...
The increasing digitalization of business and society leads to drastic changes within companies. Nearly all enterprises have to face enormous challenges when dealing with topics such as Industry 4.0/Industrial Internet. One of these challenges represents the realistic classification of the company's own IT infrastructure. In this paper we present a maturity model (SIMMI 4.0 - System Integration Maturity...
This research provides real-time analysis and processing exploration into load rate data of main shaft of triaxial hard track machine with Industry 4.0 through case companies so as to explore the reasons affecting the abnormality of load rate data of main shaft of machine. First of all, Delphi technique expertise questionnaire is used to find out the reasons for the abnormality of load rate of main...
Achieving efficiency gains on all levels of enterprise architecture by such means as standardization has been and is a goal of researchers and practitioners working on the provisioning of IT services. At the process level, provisioning IT services is defined in common practice frameworks like the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL describes a trend where vendors offer new application systems for...
There has been many previous studies that discuss the control for the production of coconut flour and raw material inventory. But a system or a computer-based model for coconut flour industry in North Sulawesi has not or does not exist. For that reason, coconut flour industries also require tools on in running the business as developed in this study. The problem in this research is how to make the...
