Download or read book Balanced Automation Systems written by Luis M. Camarinha-Matos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards Balanced Automation The concept. Manufacturing industries worldwide are facing tough challenges as a consequence of the globalization of economy and the openness of the markets. Progress of the economic blocks such as the European Union, NAFTA, and MERCOSUR, and the global agreements such as GATT, in addition to their obvious economic and social consequences, provoke strong paradigm shifts in the way that the manufacturing systems are conceived and operate. To increase profitability and reduce the manufacturing costs, there is a recent tendency towards establishing partnership links among the involved industries, usually between big industries and the networks of components' suppliers. To benefit from the advances in technology, similar agreements are being established between industries and universities and research institutes. Such an open tete-cooperation network may be identified as an extended enterprise or a virtual enterprise. In fact, the manufacturing process is no more carried out by a single enterprise, rather each enterprise is just a node that adds some value (a step in the manufacturing chain) to the cooperation network of enterprises. The new trends create new scenarios and technological challenges, especially to the Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) that clearly comprise the overwhelming majority of manufacturing enterprises worldwide. Under the classical scenarios, these SMEs would have had big difficulties to access or benefit from the state of the art technology, due to their limited human, financial, and material resources.

Download or read book Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems From Design to Implementation written by Lyes Benyoucef and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops innovative techniques from operational research and management science for the design and implementation of a reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS), and subsequently analyzes and assesses their performance. A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a paradigm that can address many of the challenges posed by the modern market. Accordingly, substantial research is now being conducted on RMS, focusing on various levels of decision-making (strategic, tactical and operational). However, as a relatively new research area, there are still only very few books and articles available on reconfigurable manufacturing system design and management. In addition to filling that gap, this book provides a forum for investigating, exchanging ideas on, and disseminating the latest advances in the broad area of RMS applications in today’s industry. Gathering contributions by experts from academia, industry and policy-making, it represents an essential contribution to the existing literature on manufacturing and logistics in general and industry 4.0 in particular.

Download or read book Organizing the Extended Enterprise written by Paul Schönsleben and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years production management has no longer been confined to individual production facilities. Intensive cooperation with suppliers has become an integral part of production management. In recent years two further developments have gained ground. On the one hand enterprises have been specialising and concentrating on their core competencies with outsourcing as a consequence, on the other hand globalization has intensified the range of choice among suppliers. Increased dependence on suppliers called for new forms of cooperative ventures. Strategic and legal issues had to be considered and production management had to include sophisticated logistic chain management. These developments have led to the concept of `Extended Enterprise'. Among many other topics, this book discusses: co-operation between companies; supply chain management; agile and virtual management; integration of the logistic chain; and production and logistical strategies. The book comprises the proceedings of the Working Conference on Organizing the Extended Enterprise, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), which was held in Ascona, Switzerland in September 1997. It will be of great importance to researchers, managers and consultants in production, logistics and information and other areas of organizational development.

Download or read book Fiabilit technique et humaine written by LYONNET Patrick and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De tout temps l’homme a sans doute voulu construire des choses fiables. Mais les évaluations quantifiées, probabilisées ont vu le jour récemment d’abord pour systèmes militaires (missiles, satellites) puis nucléaires, automobiles et les biens d’équipements. On peut citer que dès 1906 les constructeurs de tubes à vides américains se sont préoccupés de fiabilité, de là est née la fiabilité électronique, puis mécanique, informatique et humaine des systèmes et composants. Cette évolution contemporaine a produit de nombreux outils, concepts et méthodes. Ces développements sont au centre de l’ouvrage. Fiabilité Technique et Humaine rassemble les concepts, techniques et outils de la fiabilité des composants et systèmes en considérant toutes les technologies et dimensions, notamment la mécanique, l’électronique, l’informatique et les aspects humains. En effet, les erreurs humaines sont à l’origine de nombreuses défaillances et de ce fait ne peuvent être ignorées lors de la conception ou du maintien des installations. Les diverses formes de fiabilité, prévisionnelle, expérimentale et opérationnelle sont explicitées et illustrées aux travers d’applications industrielles. Les concepts, outils et techniques de fiabilité les plus complexes sont présentés à partir d’exemples permettant au lecteur de se familiariser avec ce domaine. La présentation très didactique de ces concepts, étayée par plus de 100 exercices et problèmes corrigés en fait un ouvrage incontournable pour la maîtrise de la fiabilité technique et humaine.

This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascicle is the thirteenth in the series of Level One publications of the excavations at Franchthi Cave and is the third and final installment of the report on the site's chipped stone industries. The objective of Catherine Perlès's study is to make sense of the chronology of the site in its economic, technological, and typological dimensions. All phases of the Neolithic are represented at Franchthi Cave. Rich with more than 3,000 reconstructed pieces, this study offers a representative and technical typology that is unequaled today. The first part of the analysis offers diagnostic elements to facilitate comparisons between the lithic sequence and surface dating and is more descriptive than interpretive. The second part is dedicated to a step-by-step analysis of the Franchthi material in a well-defined chrono-stratigraphical framework. The third and most interpretive portion of the study addresses itself more specifically to those who are interested in the socio-economic organizational problems of Neolithic societies.
