Manufacturing Process Design and Electrically-Assisted Embossing of a Microchannel Solar Receiver

Creator:

McNeff, Patrick S.

Abstract:

Manufacturing process design (MPD) represents a design-oriented approach to manufacturing engineering. In this dissertation, Haynes 230 (H230), a solid solution-strengthened Ni-based superalloy, was chosen to meet the material requirements of a microchannel solar receiver (MSR) needed to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar thermal power generation. An...

Exploring the Effectiveness of Providing Structured Design for the Environment Knowledge during the Conceptual Design Phase

Creator:

Ross, Donovan Arie

Abstract:

The fuzzy front end of engineering design can present a difficult challenge, and as such, recent engineering design research has focused on guiding and influencing the way a designer ideates. Early ideation can be especially difficult when attempting to integrate specific design objectives in product design, called Design for X...

Automated Tradeoff Analysis of Cost Versus Machinability for Design Feedback

Creator:

Grier, Alan Thomas

Abstract:

As CAD tools become more sophisticated, engineers are able to more easily create complex part geometries with minimal mass given strength and stiffness requirements. However, these complex part geometries can be difficult to subtractively manufacture, which consequently increases manufacturing cost and production time. This thesis presents a method independent of...

Environmentally Sustainable Product Design : Understanding the Environmental Impact of Product Function and Product Labeling

Creator:

Ferrero, Vincenzo J.

Abstract:

Using repositories to store product design information can provide additional and extensive design knowledge to the global design community. Using repository data in the design of new products can be especially impactful for DfX design objectives, such as product sustainability, about which many engineering designers have limited knowledge. Furthermore, repositories...

A Metaheuristic Approach for Facilities Location with Balanced Allocation of Customers

Creator:

Nippaya, Dheeraporn

Abstract:

Organizations are constantly looking for innovative strategies to face more stringent competitive environments and the ever increasing market globalization. An alternative these organizations can pursue to respond to these challenges is to optimize their supply chain network (SCN). Important considerations when optimizing a SCN involve determining locations for plants and...

Framework and Method for Designing Complementarist Interventions to Systemically Address Management Challenges in Small Organizations

Creator:

Moore, Bradley

Abstract:

Small organizations may face several management challenges, such as developing non-centralized management structures, knowledge retention in rapid turnover environments, complex operations, and diverse stakeholder requirements. Many methodologies exist to address such management challenges, including viable system model, knowledge management, and Toyota production system, or lean manufacturing. Each of these methodologies...

Bi-Criteria Batching and Scheduling in Hybrid Flow Shops

Creator:

Shahvari, Omid

Abstract:

In this research, a bi-criteria batching and scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop environments, where unrelated-parallel machines are run simultaneously with different capacities and eligibilities in processing, in some stages. The objective is to simultaneously minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion time and total weighted...

Using Automation to Understand Sustainable Design Trade-Offs and to Promote Environmental Sustainability in the Early Design Phase

Creator:

Wisthoff, Addison K.

Abstract:

Sustainable product design is becoming an important component of the development of consumer products. Currently there are limited design resources to aid in the creation of environmentally sustainable products. The purpose of this research is to theorize a new method for integrating sustainable design knowledge into the early design phase...

Efficient Algorithms for Solving the Median Problem on Real Road Networks

Creator:

Ghanbartehrani, Saeed

Abstract:

Location theory is a well-established and active research area. The main objective in location theory is to find the best locations for facilities to meet supply and demand constraints and minimize total cost. The median problem (also known as the 1-median problem) is a special case in location analysis that...

A Theoretical Framework to Capture Stakeholders' Perspectives for the Design of Collaborative Communication Structures for Specialized Organizations

Creator:

Chongvilaiwan, Tanida

Abstract:

Small business energy analysts often specialize in one aspect of the business. This specialized focus is done by necessity due to scarcity of resources and to maintain a proprietary market niche. However, this specialized focus results in a growth inhibitor due to their lack of ability to address all the...

A study of the application of lean practices to new product development processes

Creator:

Choothian, Woraruthai

Abstract:

The application of lean to new product development (NPD) processes has been claimed to generate positive impact on NPD performance. There are very few empirical studies, however, on how organizations should apply lean practices or on the exact nature of the impact of lean on NPD performance. To further understand...

Dissertation
Defining and comparing risks and success measures of the reference design process and traditional new product development processes

Creator:

Larson, Tasha M.

Abstract:

To address aggressive global competition, retain customers and increase revenue, firms are required to pursue New Product Development (NPD) projects. Ventures of this nature are risky and fail often. Numerous factors influence the survival of a project. In this research, 16 factors have been identified and selected as indicators of...

Design of robust infrastructure systems incorporating user behavior

Creator:

Piacenza, Joseph R., III

Abstract:

Infrastructure systems are a critical component supporting today's modern society. From power grids to traffic networks, we rely on these systems to perform as intended, despite the various sources of uncertainty present in their operation. Designing for system robustness can help mitigate the impact of failures caused by unexpected events....

Group scheduling in electronics manufacturing with integration of internal and external setup times

Creator:

Yazdani Sabouni, Mohammad Taghi

Abstract:

This research considers a combinatorial optimization scheduling problem in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electronic manufacturing. For the first time in this research, the preparation process, which is typically called kitting operation, is paid attention to and is performed along with the assembly operation, described in this...

Fluidic and thermal modeling for the high production rate synthesis of high quality nanoparticles

Creator:

Peterson, Daniel Alan

Abstract:

Advances of colloidal nanomaterials for societal benefit have been hampered by the high cost and low quality of nanoparticles (NPs). The production of high quality nanoparticles within colloidal suspension has two related concerns; (1) current high production rates methods of synthesizing nanoparticles result in a larger range of particle size,...

Bi-criteria group scheduling with learning in hybrid flow shops

Creator:

Bozorgirad, Mir Abbas

Abstract:

In this research, a bi-criteria group scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop (HFS) environments, where the parallel machines in each stage are unrelated, meaning not identical. The objective of the problem is to minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion times as a means of complying...
