In this paper are presented information about common and advanced materials used for manufacturing of products by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) rapid prototyping technology. In different rapid prototyping technologies the initial state of material can come in either solid, liquid or powder state. In solid state it can come in various forms such as pellets, wire or laminates. The current range materials...
A component, which has an optimized combination of different materials in its different portions for a specific application, is considered as the component made of a multiphase perfect material. To manufacture such components, a hybrid manufacturing process and its corresponding behavior models were introduced. Since it would be risky and expensive to make such a physical machine, a virtual manufacturing...
Due to the lack of efficiency communication and collaboration among each manufacturing department, it makes long lead-time and high cost for the manufacturing of aircraft structure parts which have the characteristics of multi-varieties, complexity structure, and small batch. In order to address these challenge issues, a feature-based and multi-agents-based manufacturing collaborative framework which...
In cellular manufacturing, it is essential to focus on human issues such as worker assignment strategies, skill identification, teamwork and communication. In order to analyze the impact of collaborative work in cellular manufacturing, agent model of workers was developed and integrated into the production simulation model. Then, comparative simulation experiments of different collaborative work schemes...
Product lifecycle data is considered valuable resource to improve quality of product designing. However, at present, under the environment of E-manufacturing, product data is scattered across different companies during product lifecycle. Because enterprise information systems are heterogeneous, it becomes a challenging task managing product lifecycle data through the complete supply chain. In this...
Manufacturing organization in the manner of flow production is one of the best solutions to achieve short cycle times, low inventories and a high delivery reliability, which are vital for commercial success. Variability within all production, support and organizational processes is one of the main detractors for establishing a continuous material flow in semiconductor manufacturing. In this contribution...
This article focuses on Infineon's consequent way to retain their European facilities by designing and building a high profitable eight inch manufacturing environment. The challenges for automation in such an environment are discussed and practical experiences are presented. Based on more than 7 years of automation experiences, we developed summarized rules of automation. We will show the advantages...
In any customer driven supply chain, the acquisition of customer knowledge can help companies to attain a competitive advantage in product innovation. Since the existing approaches have not considered this knowledge as a weighted factor in the case based supplier selection processes, this paper aims to present an agent-based framework for supplier selection based on the case-based reasoning approach...
Enterprise supply chain management (E-SCM) is a network management system of interconnected businesses and spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. E-SCM is also a main part of enterprise resources planning (ERP), and is usually designed as a subsystem of ERP. In this paper, a framework of medium and...
Course outcomes (CO) or course learning outcomes is a practice used as a method of assessment on accumulated knowledge, skills, or attitudes gained in a learning process. A clear set of final learning expectations usually exposed to students at the beginning of the course and these expectations should be correlated to assessment methods. However, assessments of the achievement of course outcomes usually...
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which have limited resources, spend the majority of their time on routine business and have difficulty pursuing goals beyond economic efficiency, such as environmental preservation. In this study, using the concept of Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA), a simulation model for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) business flow of a Japanese electronic...
The recycling infrastructure for end-of-use vehicles in the United States is driven by profitability due to the absence of regulations. Typically, the recycling consists of removing reusable components for resale and shredding and separating remaining material for material recovery. Profitability depends on the quantity and type of components and material recovered. Because the material composition...
with the design becoming more and more critical in the process of production, the consumption of product can be described as the consumption of design to some extent. In order to provide better design services for the customers, the design-centered e-commerce platform is researched in this paper. The operation of the platform is based on the integrative database and the platform has two functions...
Sustainable design approaches consider the environmental impacts of products during their whole lifecycle. The application of sustainable design leads to the development of more environmentally benign products and processes. Principles and methods of sustainable design are discussed in this article. The goals of sustainable design are reducing or minimizing the use of non-renewable resources. The...
This papers, directing at machinery manufacturing enterprises implementing order production and the problems existing in their fast and accurate cost accounting process relying on informatization, from the perspectives of cost accounting process and the integration of PDM and ERP, aims to propose an effective method which will bring about fast and accurate cost accounting. Additionally, this paper...
Developing food proper-packaging is an important approach to solve the excessive packaging problem. The main study methods of commodity proper-packaging are concluded. Based on the requirement of proper-packaging definition, fuzzy evaluation is a good appropriate method to estimate the rationality. The evaluation system is established from the five aspects including function, economy, environment,...
This research focused on the impacts of purchasing policies, customer-supplier relationships and purchasing-related information systems and technologies on the performance of purchasing and supply chain management in Chinese manufacturing. This research surveyed 384 purchasing staff in Chinese manufacturing enterprises and of these, 124 have offered usable responses. As the results shown, there are...
This paper analyzes the method and techniques of extracting material information from engineer drawings and establishing product structure. In order to deal with the materials which don't have material code in the drawing, we build a statistics model based on materials being collected. We can gather the material list by making a medium template, and then integrate the CAD and ERP system with the information...
With China's rapid economic development, the oil as a strategic resource has become increasingly important. As a source of industry, the volatility of oil price affects the interests of many downstream industries, so studying of the effects of volatility of oil price on the cost and profit of related industries is particularly important. This paper studies the Granger causality of the domestic oil...
Aiming at the exigent need of product maturity level evaluation for the third generation semiconductor microwave device and the shortages of current domestic and foreign evaluation methods, this paper extends the traditional Technology Readiness Level (TRL) evaluation method roundly from technology integration and technology dimension, establishes a structural describing and measuring model for product...
