Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

Purpose Lean management is a suitable methodology for companies that want to improve their productive performance and competitiveness. This study aims research levels of implementation internalisation production tools in Spanish manufacturing companies, explores differences behaviour between SMEs large based on data gathered over three time periods. The correlation adoption company also analyse...

The aim of herein work is to develop an automatized algorithm for detecting, as objectively possible, the flame front evolution lean/ultra-lean mixtures ignited by low temperature plasma-based ignition systems. luminosity characterizing latter conditions makes both kernel formation and combustion development difficult detect accurately. Therefore, estimate igniter capability efficiently ignite ...

Considering the disadvantages of gasoline and natural gas as mono-fuel in SI engines has made the researchers to improve the performance and reduce the pollutant as the advantages of the application of dual fuel engines. On the other hand, lean-burn in engine may lead to the reduced pollutant. In the present study various mixtures of gasoline and natural gas with the gasoline as the dominant fu...

In the wake of previous works, authors propose a new approach for identification and evolution flame front in an optical SI engine. Currently, it is essential prerogative to characterize capability innovative igniters guarantee earlier development critical operating conditions, such as ultra-lean mixture, towards which automotive research moving deal with ever more stringent regulations on poll...

this paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of lean manufacturing. the lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. to improve ...

A range of industrial H. polymorpha-based processes exist, most of them for the production of pharmaceuticals. The established industrial processes lean on the use of promoters derived from MOX and FMD, genes of the methanol metabolism pathway. In Hansenula polymorpha these promoters are de-repressed upon depletion of a range of carbon sources like glucose and glycerol instead of being induced ...
