  • An economic and environmental assessment model for microchannel device manufacturing

    Creator:
    Gao, Qi
    Abstract:
    A key application of microchannel process technology (MPT) is its implementation in heat exchanger devices, since a larger surface contact area can be realized than in conventional approaches, thus achieving high heat transfer efficiency. To justify high volume production of configurations validated as prototypes, and to select from among the...

  • 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...

  • Simulation and optimization of an offshore natural gas process

    Creator:
    Chaiwanakupt, Nopasit
    Abstract:
    The principal objective of this study was to investigate process simulation and optimization of an existing offshore natural gas process which needed profitability improvements. Optimization was done using two alternative approaches: a global approach (response surface methodology) or a local approach (successive quadratic programming). The global approach was characterized by...

  • Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

    Creator:
    Juwono, Cynthia P.
    Abstract:
    A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well as constraints imposed by the overall system. Besides, there are multiple objectives that need...

  • A Unit Manufacturing Process Characterization Methodology and Supporting Terminology for Sustainable Manufacturing Assessment

    Creator:
    Garretson, Ian C.
    Abstract:
    Manufacturing industry drives economic activity and growth around the world, but manufacturing activities consume large amounts of material, energy, and labor resources. Therefore, the impacts of manufacturing need to be accounted for and reduced. Direct benefits of manufacturing are products and income, which, in turn, influence the lives of people...

  • The development of productivity interfirm comparison procedures for the cement industry of Saudi Arabia

    Creator:
    Al-Agha, Osama K.
    Abstract:
    Productivity Interfirm Comparison (PIC) is a simple method used to improve productivity at the firm level, where a number of firms operate in the same product line so that performance information on the firms can be compiled and compared. This results in identifying potential areas for improvement or exploitation. The...

  • Implementing quick response (QR): successes and challenges

    Creator:
    Lee, Duck Weon
    Abstract:
    Quick Response is an umbrella term for strategies to cut lead times and to eliminate unnecessary production costs from a manufacturing plant to a consumer market. In particular, the textile and apparel industries need strategies to quickly respond to a changeable market in the international supply chain. As the industry...
