Assembly Activity

A design for assembly worksheet is introduced that enables flexible accounting of assembly activities, especially welding. Welding activity is broken down into a variety of pre- and post-welding activities and the time penalty is estimated. This weld estimate is included into the traditional worksheet. This approach is especially useful for large complex products that are produced in small volumes where a significant portion of the assembly activity is through welding. These types of products often pose challenges for employing DFMA techniques cost effectively because of the increased engineering cost, divided among relatively few products, outweighs the potential benefits.

Mixed Model Assembly Line

According to the complexity of the assembly line for the large complex products, a new production pattern with fixed objects for the mixed model assembly line is proposed. Improved GA is used to solve the scheduling problem .In this paper, a production scheduling system is developed. It can speed up the production cycle, lower the cost, improve the productivity and so on.

There are a multitude of reasons that a teletinnitus program can be beneficial, not only to the patients, but also within the hospital and audiology department. The ability to use technology for the purpose of tinnitus management allows for improved appointment access for all patients, especially those who live at a distance, has been shown to be more cost effective when the patients travel is otherwise monetarily compensated, and allows for multiple patient's to be seen in the same time slots, allowing for greater access to the clinic for the patients wishing to be seen in-house. There is also the patient's excitement in being part of a new technology-based program. The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (GCVHCS) saw the potential benefits of incorporating a teletinnitus program and began implementation in 2013. There were a few hurdles to work through during the beginning organizational process and the initial execution of the program. Since the establishment of the Teletinnitus program, the GCVHCS has seen an enhancement in patient care, reduction in travel compensation, improvement in clinic utilization, clinic availability, the genuine excitement of the use of a new healthcare media amongst staff and patients, and overall patient satisfaction.

The paper presents an application the research results previously done by group on the influence of technological parameters to the deformation angle and finish surface quality in order to choose technology parameters for the incremental sheet forming (ISF) process to produce products for the purpose of rapid prototyping or single-batch production, including all steps from design and process 3D CAD model, calculate and select the technological parameters, setting up manufacturing and the stage of post-processing. The samples formed successfully showed high applicability of this technology to practical work, the complex products with the real size can be produced in industries: automotive, motorcycle, civil...
