Download or read book Hybrid Factories in the United States written by Tetsuji Kawamura and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the transferability of Japanese-style management and production systems to 81 factories in North America owned by Japanese companies. All of the book's investigations are based on an original methodology, "hybridization analysis", which quantifies the degree to which features of the Japanese system have been transplanted, using an elaborate checklist and scoring system. With its wealth of data, it should serve as a handy reference volume to anyone interested in the issue of international management and the impact of globalization upon production models.

Download or read book Hybrid Manufacturing Processes written by Wit Grzesik and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-03 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores, in a systematic way, both conventional and unconventional material shaping processes with various modes of hybridization in relation to theory, modelling and industrial potential. The demand for high productivity and high accuracy in manufacturing is continuously increasing, based on improvement and optimization strategies. Hybridization of manufacturing processes will play a crucial role and will be of a key importance in achieving environmental and economical sustainability. Structured in three parts, Hybrid Manufacturing Processes summarizes the state-of-the art hybrid manufacturing processes based on available literature sources and production reports. The book begins by providing information on the physical fundamentals of the removal and non-removal processes in macro-, micro and nanoscales. It then follows with an overview of the possible ways of hybridization and the effects on the enhancement of process performance, before concluding with a summary of production outputs related to surface integrity, specifically with respect to difficult-to-machine materials. Considering the applications of different sources of hybridization including mechanical, thermal and chemical interactions or their combinations, this book will be of interest to a range of researchers and practicing engineers within the field of manufacturing.
Download or read book Hybrid Factory written by Tetsuo Abo and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study on which Hybrid Factory is based focused on Japanese manufacturing firms that, beginning in the 1970s, and increasingly in the 1980s, vigorously embarked on overseas production in the United States. The book looks in particular at which management factors that provide strength to Japanese production systems can survive the transfer to the United States, or whether the radically different social and cultural environment makes such a transfer impossible.
Download or read book Analysis of AM Hub Locations for Hybrid Manufacturing in the United States written by Danielle B. Strong and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive Manufacturing (AM) combined with subtractive methods such as machining, referred to as Hybrid-Manufacturing, has the ability to provide the discrete advantages belonging to each manufacturing process. Although metal AM parts are highly complex and customizable they often do not meet required dimensions and tolerances, and subtractive machining is required in order to post-process these parts by eliminating surface roughness. Subtractive machining alone is limited in regards to design, complexity and weight. Research shows that traditional shops have both interest in and excess capacity utilization to adopt AM to form an integrated hybrid-manufacturing supply chain. The hypothesis of this research is that, if strategically located, AM technology can integrate and streamline supply chains, connecting the AM supply chain with traditional machine shops and heat treatment centers for hybrid-manufacturing processes in both manufacturing and reverse logistics applications. In this research, the following investigations are presented, 1) Strategically locating AM hub centers based on existing machine shops in the United States in order to improve small and medium OEM accessibility to AM technology, 2) Strategically locating AM hub centers based upon both existing machine shops and heat treatment centers in the United States given that the majority of metal parts must go through some surface enhancement process, 3) Strategically locating AM repair technology based upon existing machine shops and aircraft engine maintenance and repair shops in order to utilize the benefits of AM to improve the reverse logistics process, and 4) Analyzing the competition and economic implications of traditional shops adopting AM technology to offer hybrid-manufacturing through a production economics approach. A series of facility location models and an economic duopoly model are developed in this research. The implications of integrating AM with traditional supply chain by strategically locating AM technology across the United States are derived with regards to geography, demand, fixed cost and transportation cost. Similarly, the economic model provides implications on being the first to adopt AM technology among competing firms with regards to product prices, quantities and profits. The results from each model are studied to support the widespread adoption of AM in the United States and to advance future applications of AM.

Book excerpt: "Noel Kingsbury reveals that even those imaginary perfect foods are themselves far from anything that could properly be called natural, rather, they represent the end of a millennia-long history of selective breeding and hybridization. Starting his story at the birth of agriculture, Kingsbury traces the history of human attempts to make plants more reliable, productive, and nutritiousa story that owes as much to accident and error as to innovation and experiment. Drawing on historical and scientific accounts, as well as a rich trove of anecdotes, Kingsbury shows how scientists, amateur breeders, and countless anonymous farmers and gardeners slowly caused the evolutionary pressures of nature to be supplanted by those of human needs and thus led us from sparse wild grasses to succulent corn cobs, and from mealy, white wild carrots to the juicy vegetables we enjoy today. At the same time, Kingsbury reminds us that contemporary controversies over the Green Revolution and genetically modified crops are not new, plant breeding has always had a political dimension."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Assessment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various combinations of commercially available technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans, and other light-duty vehicles without compromising vehicle performance or safety. Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy estimates the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition diesel, and hybrid. According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29 percent at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Replacing spark-ignition engines with diesel engines and components would yield fuel savings of about 37 percent at an added cost of approximately $5,900 per vehicle, and replacing spark-ignition engines with hybrid engines and components would reduce fuel consumption by 43 percent at an increase of $6,000 per vehicle. The book focuses on fuel consumption-the amount of fuel consumed in a given driving distance-because energy savings are directly related to the amount of fuel used. In contrast, fuel economy measures how far a vehicle will travel with a gallon of fuel. Because fuel consumption data indicate money saved on fuel purchases and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the book finds that vehicle stickers should provide consumers with fuel consumption data in addition to fuel economy information.
