Framework to evaluate continuous improvement process efficacy: a case study of a capital goods company
(2020)
Purpose: This document describes a continuous improvement process assessment system (CIPAS). A continuous improvement process (CIP) was developed to progress through the levels of continuous improvement (CI) defined by ...
Reusability and Flexibility in Parametric Surface-based Models: A Review of Modelling Strategies
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021)
CAD systems are indispensable tools in the product design and development process. Through the creation of parametric 3D models,they increase productivity, enable the design of highly complex parts, improve ...
Preliminary Study on the Capability of the Novel Near Solidus Forming (NSF) Technology to Manufacture Complex Steel Components
(MDPI AG, 2020)
The benefits of the novel Near Solidus Forming (NSF) process has shown previously in its ability to produce steel components with comparable as-forged mechanical properties but with a cost reduction of 10–15%. This study ...
Retinal thickness predicts the risk of cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease
(Wiley, 2021)
Objective: To analyze longitudinal changes of retinal thickness and their predictive value as biomarkers of disease progression in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD).
Methods: Patients with Lewy body diseases (LBDs) ...
A coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure: Application to fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard’s wear equation with the Smith–Watson–Topper parameter to predict crack ...
A methodology and experimental implementation for industrial robot health assessment via torque signature analysis
(MDPI AG, 2020)
This manuscript focuses on methodological and technological advances in the field of health assessment and predictive maintenance for industrial robots. We propose a non-intrusive methodology for industrial robot joint ...
A Hybrid Sensor Fault Diagnosis for Maintenance in Railway Traction Drives
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Due to the importance of sensors in railway traction drives availability, sensor fault diagnosis has become a key point in order tomove frompreventivemaintenance to condition-basedmaintenance. Most research works are limited ...
Multi-Physics Tool for Electrical Machine Sizing
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Society is turning to electrification to reduce air pollution, increasing electric machine demand. For industrial mass production, a detailed design of one machine is usually done first, then a design of similar machines, ...
Continuous improvement framework to develop cultural change: case study, capital goods company
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020)
In this study, a frame of reference was developed to adapt and execute a continuous improvement process (CIP) for reinforcing a continuous improvement (CI) culture in an organisation. The study was undertaken in a mature ...
MODDALS Methodology for Designing Layered Ontology Structures
(IOS Press, 2020)
Global ontologies include common vocabularies to provide interoperability among different applications. These ontologies require a balance of reusability-usability to minimise the ontology reuse effort in different ...
