Biomedical Manufacturing: A New Frontier of Manufacturing Research
نویسنده
چکیده
A new frontier of manufacturing research, biomedical manufacturing, is presented. Advanced manufacturing technologies, such as manufacturing processes, systems, and quality control, can be readily applied to improve the safety, quality, cost, efficiency, and speed of healthcare service and biomedical research. The analogy of the hospital as a factory is explored to broadly and inclusively define biomedical manufacturing. Characteristics and engineering needs of biomedical manufacturing are discussed. Examples of the grinding and cutting of plaque in interventional cardiology and laparoscopic surgery on minimizing the nerve tissue thermal damage in surgery are presented to demonstrate the broad spectrum of biomedical manufacturing. On education, the scope and pedagogy for teaching a new senior undergraduate/first-year-graduate level course in Biomedical Design and Manufacturing are discussed. DOI: 10.1115/1.2896116

Analysis of Response Robustness for a Multi-Objective Mathematical Model of Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing
The multi-objective optimization problem is the main purpose of generating an optimal set of targets known as Pareto optimal frontier to be provided the ultimate decision-makers. The final selection of point of Pareto frontier is usually made only based on the goals presented in the mathematical model to implement the considered system by the decision-makers. In this paper, a mathematical model...

متن کاملAn Attribute Approach To The Measurement Of Manufacturing System Flexibility
An uncertain environment has forced manufacturing systems to have flexibility. Uncertainties involved with internal and external factors means that flexibility becomes an important competitive factor for the firms. However, the concept of manufacturing flexibility has not yet been clearly identified, understood and integrated. These problems have led to researchers and practitioners getting con...
