In our increasingly globalised economy, managing continuous change and remaining competitive has become a central issue for organisations in the industrial sector. Building a sustainable competitive advantage through ...

The evolution of high-performance computing facilitates the simulation of manufacturing processes. The prediction accuracy of a numerical model of the cutting process is closely associated with the selection of constitutive ...

With the aim to discover and assess specific aspects of management and evaluate their ‘maturity level’, both practitioners and academics have developed a wide range of maturity assessment models over the last decades. In ...

This paper studies the effect of several design parameters on the impact performance of fully 3D printed sandwich panels with a core cell unit inspired by the trabecular structure of the forewing of a beetle. The key finding ...

Four decades (between 1979 and 2018) of the wave energy resource around Iceland are analysed in the present paper via the ERA5 reanalysis, the newest reanalysis of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. ...

This study uses simulation to analyse the impact of protective capacity in the implementation of the step 3 of the theory of constraints (TOC) methodology in make-to-order (MTO) environments. The results suggest that at ...

Small-scale horizontal axis wind-turbines (SHAWTs) are acquiring relevance withinthe regulatory policies of the wind sector aiming at net-zero emissions, while reduc-ing visual and environmental impact by means of distributed ...

Industry 4.0 has ushered in a new era of digital manufacturing and in this context, digital twins are considered as the next wave of simulation technologies. The development and commissioning of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) ...

This article seeks to answer the question of how value proposition is created using a human-centred approach in the context of deservitization, in general, and service dilution, in particular. The article aims to describe ...

The use of formal methodologies for parametric modeling has been shown to significantly improve the robustness and reusability of feature-based CAD models, particularly in response to changes, which has implications in the ...
