The cast is produced through permanent moulding process for the mixing ratio of 15% SiC and 85% Al. A Taguchi's Orthogonal Array (OA) experiment is designed to carry out the machining operation. Four parameters, namely Tool materials, speed, feed and depth of cut are considered as factors. The output parameters are cutting power, cutting force, shear strength, surface finish and Material removal rate. The output responses are combined to have a single objective as multi response performance index (MRPI) and Manufacturer value function (MVF). ANN models are developed for mapping the relationship between parameters with MRPI and MVF. The optimal process parameters are selected based on the output given by the ANN. The results of both functions are compared by using S/N ratio analysis.","PeriodicalId":427457,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129941773","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}

In order to reduce the consumed energy the design, configuration and control strategy of different conveyor systems have to be analyzed by mechanical and electrical measurements. To quantify the need of energy under conditions as close as possible to reality a testing facility with different conveyor elements and electrical drives with power monitoring capabilities was installed in order to give a database for further research activities. On the one hand the acquired data can be used to optimize the efficiency of the total drive train. On the other hand they conduce to develop new intelligent control strategies for an energy efficient operation of heterogeneous facility logistics system. Eventually, the design of a monitoring system in a testing facility is the topic of this contribution.","PeriodicalId":427457,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130505797","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}

One of the applications in theory of constraints is product mix decision. This paper presents an alternative approach by using a goal programming to determine the product mix of the manufacturing system. The objective of this paper is to provide a methodology in order to make product mix decision. The key point of the proposed methodology is to allow decision makers to determine the importance of throughput and bottleneck machines via pair-wise comparison. Through an example, the inefficiency of theory of constraints in multiple bottleneck problems has been shown. Comparison of theory of constraints, linear programming and other methods has also been discussed to show the advantages of proposed method.","PeriodicalId":427457,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129097110","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 subject on how to strengthen the resilience of supply chain has attracted more and more scholars' attention. However, relevant studies are mostly concentrated on qualitative analysis. In this paper, a quantitative measuring method, referring to stress relaxation time of material mechanics, was proposed based on the biological cell elasticity theory, which is helpful to the research of supply chain resilience in quantitative approach. Then the impact of different factors on supply chain resilience was discussed.

The selection and implementation of proper control measures becomes crucial to ensure successful projects. In this paper a novel approach for modeling the interdependencies of engineering activities is presented. The approach particularly addresses planning information and changes that will limit the effects of control measures in the case of possible delays.
