  • An integrated assembly tolerance analysis system

    Creator:
    Qian, Xiaonong
    Abstract:
    Tolerance analysis and synthesis plays a vital role in the success of a product design because it directly affects product quality and manufacturing cost. It also affects manufacturing process selection and planning. This research provides a review of several commonly used assembly tolerance analysis models and evaluation of their limitations....

  • The steps taken to design, select, and manufacture a shoe press for a small shoe manufacturing company

    Creator:
    Albassam, Mishal
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to research, design and build a shoe press for a local company called Soft Star Shoes. Soft Star Shoes were looking for different ways to replace their barging process, which is the process of attaching the rubber sole of the shoe to the upper...

  • Evaluation of scheduling rules for single- and dual-dock automated storage

    Creator:
    Wang, Wen-tsao
    Abstract:
    Automated Storage and Retrieval (AS/R) Systems have had a considerable impact on manufacturing and distribution processes. The configuration of AS/R systems vary considerably, depending on the particular application. The effect of different retrieval scheduling rules is analyzed and compared for three different unit-load AS/R systems operating under dual-command cycle. The...

  • A microcomputer-based information management and production planning system : an application in discrete parts manufacturing

    Creator:
    Pendakur, Ramesh
    Abstract:
    The focus of this research is to design and develop a microcomputer-based information management and production planning system for a discrete parts manufacturing facility. The information management module is based on relational database concepts. This information is used by the scheduling module to generate initial production schedules based on manufacturing...

  • Multiobjective decision making in industrial energy and environmental planning

    Creator:
    Kang, Hee Jung
    Abstract:
    Multiobjective Decision Making (MODM) has been suggested for the solution of complicated decision problems. Decision analysis in numerous areas, including industrial energy and environmental planning, necessarily requires consideration of multiple conflicting objectives. MODM has been successfully applied to a number of these problems of this type. Moreover, it has the...

  • Truncation rules in simulation analysis : effect of batch size, time scale and input distribution on the application of Schriber's rule

    Creator:
    Baxter, Lori K.
    Abstract:
    The objective of many simulations is to study the steady-state behavior of a nonterminating system. The initial conditions of the system are often atypical because of the complexity of the system. Simulators often start the simulation with the system empty and idle, and truncate, or delete, some quantity of the...

  • Package inspection with a machine vision system

    Creator:
    Song, Zhao-ming
    Abstract:
    Machine Vision has been extensively applied in industry. This thesis project, which originated with a local food processor, applies a vision system to inspection of packages for cosmetric errors. The basic elements and theory of the machine vision system are introduced, and some image processing techniques, such as histogram analysis,...

  • An interactive object-oriented system for discrete simulation modeling and analysis

    Creator:
    McGregor, Donald R.
    Abstract:
    One of the commonly used simulation approaches is process orientation. This is based on the use of nodes (or blocks) that perform functions in series. In spite of the compactness and ease of learning that characterize process-based simulation, many languages are somewhat complex, primarily the result of the large number...

  • Schedule-based material requirements planning : an artificial intelligence approach

    Creator:
    Kim, Sunuk
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research project was to identify the limitations associated with schedule-based Material Requirements Planning (SBMRP) and to present a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) approach to solve these problems. In SBMRP, the basic strategy is to use backward or forward scheduling based on an arbitrary dispatching rule, such...

  • A paradigmatic framework for flight safety

    Creator:
    Routledge, Garry L.
    Abstract:
    Statistically, travel by air is one of the safest forms of transportation. Yet we continue to experience aviation tragedies. Do we fully understand flight safety or is there another way of looking at the problem? In this work a new way of approaching the question of flight safety is developed,...
