A methodological approach to evaluate supplier development based on real optionsProduction Engineering - Tập 8 - Trang 373-382 - 2014
Stefan Ruhrmann, Jan Hochdörffer, Gisela Lanza
In the last three decades, companies have intensified their global business activities with suppliers and thereby were able to focus on their core competencies. Today, supplier development in low cost countries is of increasing strategic importance due to its high cost-cutting potential; however, especially low cost country sourcing features high decision complexity and challenges due to changing...... hiện toàn bộ
The implementation of a sketch-based virtual product developmentProduction Engineering - Tập 4 - Trang 175-183 - 2010
Sabine Roth-Koch, Engelbert Westkaemper
Within the product development process, working in virtual environments is generally applied. Thus, the digital product model in its different stages is an essential prerequisite for the virtual modeling and simulation of manufacturing processes. Product development starts with conceptual design including the concepts for shape and function. The conceptual designers work on fuzzy product data appl...... hiện toàn bộ
Predicting thermal loading in NC milling processesProduction Engineering - Tập 9 - Trang 179-186 - 2014
Matthias Schweinoch, Raffael Joliet, Petra Kersting
In dry NC milling, a significant amount of heat is introduced into the workpiece due to friction and material deformation in the shear zone. Time-varying contact conditions, relative tool–workpiece movement and continuous geometric change of the workpiece due to material removal lead to a perpetually changing inhomogeneous temperature distribution within the workpiece. This in turn subjects the wo...... hiện toàn bộ
General remarks on the entropy-inspired MCAT (manufacturing complexity assessment tool) model to assess product assembly complexityProduction Engineering - Tập 17 - Trang 815-827 - 2023
Matteo Capponi, Luca Mastrogiacomo, Fiorenzo Franceschini
Assembly complexity assessment is a widely addressed topic in manufacturing. Several studies proved the correlation between assembly complexity and the occurrence of defects, thus justifying this increasing attention. A measure of complexity provides control over quality costs and performances. Over the years, many methods have been proposed to provide an objective measure of complexity. One of th...... hiện toàn bộ
Varying bending eigenfrequencies in BTA deep hole drilling: mechanical modeling using statistical parameter estimationProduction Engineering - Tập 1 - Trang 127-134 - 2007
Klaus Weinert, Claus Weihs, Oliver Webber, Nils Raabe
One serious problem in deep-hole drilling is the formation of a dynamic disturbance called spiralling which causes a multi-lobe shaped distortion of the bore hole cross section. An important factor governing the occurrence of spiralling is the coincidence of a bending eigenfrequency of the boring tool with a multiple of the spindle rotation frequency. This article presents a discrete dynamic model...... hiện toàn bộ
Clean-sheared and rectangular edges through counter-shavingProduction Engineering - Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 157-162 - 2007
Hoffmann, Hartmut, Hörmann, Florian
A various number of products exist which require a clean-sheared edge due to function or surface feel. Traditionally, these parts are produced on fine blanking presses with three separate and distinct movements. Shaving, in particular counter-shaving is a shearing operation to improve the edge quality of a blanked part or punched hole. This paper introduces a progressive die tool to realize the co...... hiện toàn bộ
A study of job shop standard setup time quotaProduction Engineering - Tập 10 - Trang 185-196 - 2015
Haicao Song, Shuping Yi, Hongyu Shen
For the multi-item and small lot size production mode and single machine job shop scheduling sequence independent setup time, many setup times are difficult to estimate accurately, which influences the ability to achieve accurate production cycles and costs of products. The survey shows that the length of the setup time depends on the level of employee’s knowledge. Therefore, a method for determin...... hiện toàn bộ
