This article presents a procedure for designing footwear production plants with Decision Support System combined an expert system and simulation approach. The industry has many operations is labour intensive. Optimisation of plant layout, machinery, human resources very important to design the manufacturing system, making adequate investment in space equipment. In it essential reduce process ti...

Today, agriculture industry has a significant impact in global greenhouse gas emissions. A large amount of pollutants come from diesel internal combustion engines, widely used agricultural machinery. Since mechanization is fundamental to achieve proper food production for growing human population, changes are needed common engineering thinking order develop new farming machinery that could outp...

The rapid development technology and widespread Internet make business environment changing a lot. In order to stand in the global market and to keep subsistence, “changing” is unspoken rule for the company’s survival. The purpose of this paper is building up change model by using SWOT, strategy map, KPI and change management theory. The research findings indicate that the company needs to deal...

Consider two opposing expectations about the connection of the scope of the firm to the evolution of an industry. According to George Stigler, as an industry's market grows a scale is achieved at which specialized firms can emerge; economic growth thus results in vertical disintegration, ew industries, and growing decentralization fthe economy. According to Alfred Chandler, the growth of the fi...

The increasingly uncertain business environment requires the necessity to implement more flexibility in companies. Unfortunately, companies being specialized in engineer-to-order production cannot use safety stocks which are generally used in make-to-stock productions to secure flexibility. Therefore, an alternative approach has to be developed to facilitate procurement flexibility for these co...

Nottingham is both the birthplace and global centre of machine-made lace industry home to Nationally Designated collection machinery. In 2017 Lace Unravelled was launched with aim conserve connect local ‘industry mentors’ learn more about its objects. This led wider collaborations exhibition ‘Lace Unarchived’, held at Trent University intended reveal legacy art school, established in 1843, impa...

This research examines the participants in the de jure standard setting in Japan, so as to understand the benefits and costs that corporations receive from participation. In particular, the research and development (R&D) expenditure to sales (R/S) ratio is used to examine corporations’ relative R&D position in their industry sector, in the following four sectors: (1) production machinery, (2) t...

Agricultural injuries involving the hand and upper extremity are common, debilitating injuries that reflect the significant occupational hazards associated with the agricultural industry. Farm injuries occur in all age groups and are associated with significant resource utilization and treatment costs. Most of these injuries are associated with machinery, including tractors, power take-off devi...

Eccentricity detection is a crucial issue for highspeed rotating machinery, which concerns the stability and safety of the machinery. Conventional techniques in industry for eccentricity detection are mainly based on measuring certain physical indicators, which are costly and hard to deploy. In this paper, we propose RED, a non-intrusive, low-cost, and realtime RFID-based eccentricity detection...
