The cross-dock-based supply chain is an integrated supply chain which uses the unique characteristics of a cross-dock to speed goods to downstream customers. A comparison is made with the warehouse process to demonstrate the improved efficiency of a cross-dock supply chain. There are three types of cross-docks and they all utilize the same design parameters to determine the shape and size of the facility. A method to determine these parameters is presented and practical design methods are illustrated. The relative advantages of manual and automated processes are discussed.

Bracknell College now offers the first BTEC-approved Higher Certificate modules in semi-custom design methods in the UK. Practical design exercises involve the ES2 SOLO 1000 toolset. This article outlines the content and philosophy of the modules and the preparation for introducing them, including our own experiences with the tools.

There has been rising interest in confronting formal models of design with practical design methods, in order to understand better both and to explore how they can improve each other. In this article, we try to map the Radical Innovation Design (RID) methodology in Gero’s Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS) framework. We encounter difficulties in doing so, and propose new constructs extending the FBS framework to account for some processes in RID. For instance, FBS is extended to describe the early stages of RID, where usages are analyzed to identify the appropriate situations and problems on which to innovate. We present a short practical case study to illustrate the relevance of these concepts. Our findings join those of others who have investigated the use of FBS to illustrate innovative projects, where requirements are unclear. We propose perspectives for future research, notably pursuing this work with the situated FBS framework.

Magnetic objective lenses, from the point of view of pole piece geometry, can he roughly classified into two types, viz., symmetrical and asymmetrical. In the case of the former, the optical properties have been calculated by several authors1-3) and the results would appear to suggest that, in order to reduce the spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients, Cs and Cc, it is necessary to decrease the half-width value of the axial field distribution and to increase the peak flux density. The expressions for either minimum Cs or minimum Cc were presented in the form of ‘universal’ curves by Mulvey and Wallington4).
