Due to rapid globalization and faster growth of world market, there is always a need of modification in the present mode of manufacturing system; these modifications increase the viabilities of manufacturer to move ahead in competitive market. These changes also improve the manufacturer and consumer relation by meeting the latest demand of consumers. The concept of Agile Manufacturing system is...

The main purpose of this study is to empirically compare of intellectual capital (IC) and its efficiency between advanced and low technology manufacturing companies using a sample of 135 Malaysian listed manufacturing companies during the 2006-2012 period. The manufacturing companies are classified into different sectors based on their products and services (Standard Industrial Classification (...

In this paper, a fuzzy decision algorithm is proposed to select the most suitable advanced manufacturing system (AMS) alternative from a set of mutually exclusive alternatives. Both economic evaluation criterion and strategic criteria such as #exibility, quality improvement, which are not quantitative in nature, are considered for selection. The economic aspects of the AMS selection process are...

during the past two decades business and manufacturing have observed significant and radical changes. companies have used automation in the manufacturing, in order to improve quality and competency. it was expected that along with these changes, management accounting systems, which focus on monitoring and analyzing management decisions, should adapt with and encourage the changes. many authors ...

Roll-to-roll (R2R) printing has been pursued as a commercially viable high-throughput technology to manufacture flexible, disposable, and inexpensive printed electronic devices. However, in recent years, pessimism has prevailed because of the barriers faced when attempting to fabricate and integrate thin film transistors (TFTs) using an R2R printing method. In this paper, we report 20 × 20 acti...

Software patterns represent a promising research area in reason of the benefits happened of its application, mainly in terms of productivity reached with the reutilization. In automatics, patterns can be applied to recurring problems involving many types of computational systems. A complex domain of application, for which patterns can bring great contribution, is the Supervisory Control of Auto...

During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
