  • Multi-stage group scheduling problems with sequence dependent setups

    Creator:
    Salmasi, Nasser
    Abstract:
    The challenges faced by manufacturing companies have forced them to become more efficient. Cellular manufacturing is a concept that has been accepted as a technique for increasing manufacturing productivity in batch type production by efficient grouping of parts (jobs) with some similarities in processing operations into groups and sequentially matching...

  • Group-scheduling problems in electronics manufacturing

    Creator:
    Geloğullari, Cumhur Alper
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the "multi-machine carryover sequence dependent group-scheduling problem with anticipatory setups," which arises in the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. Typically, in PCB manufacturing different board types requiring similar components are grouped together to reduce setup times and increase throughput. The challenge is to determine the sequence of...

  • The impact of mobile wireless technology in higher education classrooms

    Creator:
    Chompu-inwai, Rungchat
    Abstract:
    This research employed both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to explore the impact of mobile wireless technology (MWT) in higher education classrooms. The methodology was developed using systems engineering concepts. A methodology to evaluate and compare the cost, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of different MWT configurations was also developed. Five outcomes...

  • A human factors analysis of the occupational safety and health of public transit bus drivers

    Creator:
    Jabs, Lorelle B.
    Abstract:
    The overall goals of this research were to identify the major human factors problems in the mass transit driver cockpit, to identify the operational activities, and vehicle components that are most likely to produce accidents and injuries and to investigate, through an in-depth study, the most hazardous human factors problems....

  • Comparison of response surface model and Taguchi methodology for robust design

    Creator:
    Sudasna-na-Ayudthya, Prapaisri
    Abstract:
    The principal objective of this study was to compare the results of a proposed method based upon the response surface model to the Taguchi method. To modify the Taguchi method, the proposed model was developed to encompass the following objectives. The first, with the exception of the Taguchi inner array,...

  • CAE-based process designing of powder injection molding for thin-walled micro-fluidic device components

    Creator:
    Urval, Roshan
    Abstract:
    Powder injection molding (PIM) is a net fabrication technique that combines the complex shape-forming ability of plastic injection molding, the precision of die-casting, and the material selection flexibility of powder metallurgy. For this study, the design issues related to PIM for fabrication of thin-walled high-aspect ratio geometries were investigated. These...
