The reliability of engineering structures and systems has always engendered the confidence of international users. U.S. citizens drive European automobiles with confidence and Europeans drive across U.S. bridges without pause. Today, international content is extensive, often formalized and regulated and a permanent part of tomorrow’s engineering. Engineers both participate in their profession worldwide and evaluate and accommodate international content at home. Multinational companies demand multinational engineering practice. “Credentials without borders” is desired. Accreditation is key to quality assurance.","PeriodicalId":186011,"journal":{"name":"Successfully Managing the Risk and Development of Your Business and Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117000179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kuntz, Woody Allen","doi":"10.1115/imece2000-1185","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/imece2000-1185","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The disposal of electronic equipment in landfills is receiving significantly increased consideration due to the unknown impact of the environmental hazards they contain. It is also estimated that more than 63.4 million personal computers (PCs) and workstations will be come obsolete in the year 2005 in the United States alone. The DOD projects an annual disposal requirement for more than 25 million pounds of electronic equipment. While computers originating from the Department of Defense (DOD) represent only ten percent (10%) of the total electronic scrap found in landfills, ninety percent (90%) of this scrap consists of military-unique electronic equipment (i.e., test equipment, radios and radar equipment); the remaining 10% is desktop equipment (Federal Electronic Asset Management Task Force Final Report to the Federal Environmental Executive February 16, 1999 Draft Working Copy.) The sheer volume of electronic material, coupled with environmental considerations, is prompting states to keep electronic equipment out of landfills. Consequently, the Department of Defense and other Federal Agencies are voluntarily striving to dispose of its inactive, obsolete or surplus electronic scrap by implementing demanufacturing, reusing, and recycling options rather than landfilling. One way the Department of Defense is addressing the environmental concerns associated with the disposal of its inactive, obsolete or surplus electronic equipment is through the DEER2 Program (Demanufacturing of Electronic Equipment for Reuse and Recycling). This program will develop, demonstrate and validate technology enhancements to facilitate separation and decontamination of materials, tracking, glass and plastics reprocessing and reuse, and precious metals recovery. These innovations will take place in a state of the art technology facility located in Largo, Florida.","PeriodicalId":186011,"journal":{"name":"Successfully Managing the Risk and Development of Your Business and Technology","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124711612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following strategies have worked in many circumstances:\u0000 1. Analyze the structure of the demand. We need to be able to make what customers do order, not everything they might.\u0000 2. Standardize components. Custom products do not always have to be made from scratch. Instead, they can be made from a small number of standard components.\u0000 3. Make a catalog with a discrete set of sizes. All shoes used to be custom-made, but today, shoes made in size increments meet the needs of almost all consumers.\u0000 4. Postpone customization to the end of the process. Customization happens best at or near the end of the manufacturing process.\u0000 5. Identify a common process. Then we can treat custom products like options on standard products.\u0000 6. Maintain a database of past designs. It can be an enormous time saver in meeting requirements that appear to be new.\u0000 7. Design your custom manufacturing process. While still as a job-shop, the custom workshop must be organized for effectiveness and efficiency.\u0000 8. Set up a simple production control system.

Up until now, we have been discussing hardware product realization, based upon our traditional concept that their functions remain fixed all through their life cycles. But if we look at software products, they are constantly customized and kept up to date. In other words, their functions are growing even after they are delivered to the customer. If such concepts as CALS, Rapid Prototyping, etc can be integrated into this concept and merged into one, then we would be able to realize value chain management in this sense.","PeriodicalId":186011,"journal":{"name":"Successfully Managing the Risk and Development of Your Business and Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133775086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Trends and New Paradigms in Electronics Cooling Market and Industry","authors":"D. Copeland","doi":"10.1115/imece2000-1173","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/imece2000-1173","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Cooling technology for modern servers, workstations and desktop computers has just begun a period of rapid change. As processor powers approach 100 watts, longstanding limits on air cooling are being challenged. The most recent changes are in the heatsinks themselves, as the longstanding manufacturing process of extruding is no longer capable of meeting new performance requirements.\u0000 This study focuses on the history of creating an effective organization for bringing the skive heatsink to market, concentrating on development of a start-up unit within the company and a host of relationships, both technical and business, outside the company. Metals companies in Japan have long been accustomed to the necessity of constant innovation. Heatsinks fall into the vague category of a semi-custom product — each customer has almost the same requirements, with slightly different exceptions to a standard part. Additionally, a product lifetime may be measured in months rather than years.\u0000 In heatsinks, the high thermal conductivity, low density and low material cost of aluminum preclued serious competition from other materials. The computer market is dominated by large players but the size distribution tails off very slowly. 51% of the market is held by 6 companies, the largest with 14%. The remaining 49% features a wide distribution of market share and technical capabilities. This results in some customers with large staffs specializing in cooling technology, others with a small number (sometimes 1) of multidisciplinary mechanical/thermal engineers, and others with no engineering staff other than system integrators.\u0000 The presence of other materials is increasing, as heatsinks for the highest power processors will soon need copper bases and, ultimately, two-dimensional heatpipes known as vapor chambers. This integration of components represents a significant departure from the previous norm of attaching a one-dimensional tube heatpipe to an all-aluminum heatsink. In some cases ownership of development and production is the responsibility of the heatsink maker, in other cases the heatpipe or, in the case of an integrated cooling fan, the fan maker.\u0000 In order to address this wide and rapidly moving market, we have made alliances with makers of other electronics cooling components (fans, plastic housings, thermal interface materials), jointly developed products with computer and processor makers, and co-sponsored university research. This year (2000) saw a large-scale entry into the Gigahertz processor cooling market, with a focus on high level visibility at technical conferences and trade shows. As thermal concerns move from a final step in the design cycle to a initial consideration, educating customers about the potential contributions of the skive heatsink has become a major effort in our technical marketing campaign.","PeriodicalId":186011,"journal":{"name":"Successfully Managing the Risk and Development of Your Business and Technology","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116372720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
