Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ...
Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
A new insight in determining the percolation threshold of electrical conductivity for extrinsically conducting polymer composites through different sigmoidal models
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
The electrical conductivity of extrinsically conducting polymer composite systems passes through a transition state known as percolation threshold. A discussion has been made on how different Sigmoidal models (S-models), ...
Monitoring multistage processes with autocorrelated observations
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
In multistage manufacturing processes, autocorrelations within stages over time are prevalent and the classical control charts are often ineffective in monitoring such processes. In this paper, we derive a linear state ...
Thermal comfort investigation of an outdoor air-conditioned area in a hot and arid environment
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Thermal comfort in hot and arid outdoor environments is an industrial challenging field. An outdoor air-conditioned area was designed and built to host sport and social events during summers 2014 and 2015 in Qatar. This ...
Modified-thermal borehole shear test device and testing procedure to investigate the soil-structure interaction of energy piles
(
ASTM International
, 2017 , Article)
The intermittent operation of heat pumps connected to energy piles causes cyclic variation of temperature in the pile and surrounding soil, affecting the soil-pile interaction in ways that have not been fully investigated ...
A Fast Responsive Ultraviolet Sensor from mSILAR-Processed Sn-ZnO
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction was employed to synthesize Sn-ZnO (tin-doped zinc oxide), and its sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation is compared with zinc oxide (ZnO). The sensing films ...
