This book was released on 2018 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional supply chain performance depends on the efficiency of mass production, the availability of productive low cost labor and the geometry and materials of the products. Additive manufacturing, on the other hand, bypasses all these constraints and reduces the number of stages in the supply chain by allowing local production of low volume parts of greater complexity. We develop an approach for assessing the total cost when additive manufacturing is integrated into the service-parts supply chain given a set of inputs that characterize the supply chain. Specifically, we present several simulation and optimization models to help companies decide the end-of-life strategy of low volume service parts. Through sensitivity analysis, we identify regions of parameters where additive manufacturing is preferred. Moreover, we find that service parts with high lost sales unit cost and low fixed and variable additive manufacturing costs are the most suitable for additive manufacturing.

Download or read book Sustainable Supply Chain Management written by Joëlle Morana and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly recognized that logistics has become a major strategic issue for all companies, whether they are part of the primary, secondary or tertiary sector. Faced with the external pressures of globalization and competition, logistics optimizes processes and reduces production and delivery cycles. The use of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SuSCM) is now increasingly at the center of thought, due to the numerous factors favoring its implementation: requests from various stakeholders, governmental pressures (decrees, laws, regulations, etc.), environmental pressures (pollution, disappearance of fuel fossils, etc.) and societal pressures (reputation/image, protection, etc.). However, there are still obstacles to the implementation of SuSCM, including significant costs, the complexity of coordination and the lack of communication within the whole supply chain. Nevertheless, it should nowadays be included by any organization in its decisions towards a strategic approach towards sustainability. This book presents each economic, environmental and societal aspect of SuSCM. By considering each of these dimensions separately, the primary objective is to facilitate the implementation of the elements that make it up. Readers are also provided with several “strategic interpretive lenses” to be able to perform audits and diagnostics of each component. Contents: 1. The Economic Aspect of Sustainable Supply Chain Management. 2. The Environmental Aspect of Sustainable Supply Chain Management. 3. The Social/Societal Aspect of Sustainable Supply Chain Management. 4. Sustainable Supply Chain Management Balanced Scorecard. About the Authors Joëlle Morana is Lecturer in management science, attached to the Laboratoire d’Economie des Transports (Transport Economy Laboratory) at University Lumière Lyon II in France. Her fields of research concern economic, environmental and societal logistics.

Download or read book Rapid Manufacturing written by Neil Hopkinson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-02-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid Manufacturing is a new area of manufacturing developed from a family of technologies known as Rapid Prototyping. These processes have already had the effect of both improving products and reducing their development time; this in turn resulted in the development of the technology of Rapid Tooling, which implemented Rapid Prototyping techniques to improve its own processes. Rapid Manufacturing has developed as the next stage, in which the need for tooling is eliminated. It has been shown that it is economically feasible to use existing commercial Rapid Prototyping systems to manufacture series parts in quantities of up to 20,000 and customised parts in quantities of hundreds of thousands. This form of manufacturing can be incredibly cost-effective and the process is far more flexible than conventional manufacturing. Rapid Manufacturing: An Industrial Revolution for the Digital Age addresses the academic fundamentals of Rapid Manufacturing as well as focussing on case studies and applications across a wide range of industry sectors. As a technology that allows manufacturers to create products without tools, it enables previously impossible geometries to be made. This book is abundant with images depicting the fantastic array of products that are now being commercially manufactured using these technologies. Includes contributions from leading researchers working at the forefront of industry. Features detailed illustrations throughout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of important trends and developments in logistics and supply chain research, making them available to practitioners, while also serving as a point of reference for academicians. Operations and logistics are cornerstones of modern supply chains that in turn are essential for global business and economics. The composition, character and importance of supply chains and networks are rapidly changing, due to technological innovations such as Information and Communication Technologies, Sensors and Robotics, Internet of Things, and Additive Manufacturing, to name a few (often referred to as Industry 4.0). Societal developments such as environmental consciousness, urbanization or the optimal use of scarce resources are also impacting how supply chain networks are configured and operated. As a result, future supply chains will not just be assessed in terms of cost-effectiveness and speed, but also the need to satisfy agility, resilience and sustainability requirements. To face these challenges, an understanding of the basic as well as more advanced concepts and recent innovations is essential in building competitive and sustainable supply chains and, as part of that, logistics and operations. These span multiple disciplines and geographies, making them interdisciplinary and international. Therefore, this book contains contributions and views from a variety of experts from multiple countries, and combines management, engineering as well as basic information technology and social concepts.

Download or read book A Quantitative Study of the Impact of Additive Manufacturing in the Aircraft Spare Parts Supply Chain written by Abhiram Mokasdar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing is a promising manufacturing technology which is finding its way into mainstream manufacturing industry. As compared to conventional manufacturing it has a number of advantages in terms of better energy efficiency, cutback in emissions, better design handling and lower manufacturing lead time. This work focuses on these aspects of additive manufacturing by evaluating its impact on the aircraft spare parts supply chain. An aircraft supply chain is very critical because even a small shortage of spare part leads to heavy financial losses. This makes it mandatory for the aircraft companies and operators to keep large stock of all the spare parts throughout the year and thus invest a lot of money in the inventory. The peculiarity of the aircraft spare parts is that they require several months for manufacturing using conventional manufacturing processes like casting, drilling, electrical discharge machining and welding. Conversely the manufacturing lead time of additive manufacturing is small as compared to these conventional processes and hence this work tries to advocate this feature of additive manufacturing to demonstrate how the total inventory of spare parts held in an aircraft spare parts supply chain can be significantly reduced using additive manufacturing.
