The Impact

The term “push” and “pull” have been used to explain a wide variety of production inventory systems. The distinction refers to a specific attribute, which can be identified by observing the mechanisms for controlling material flow on the shop floor and a specific policy for the management of inventories and production schedules. This paper gives an attempt to compare these systems under their optimal settings under a constraint resource. Two optimal-seeking methods (Taguchi method and Response Surface Methodology) are used to suggest the optimized design of the system under an economic term, which is the profit generated from the system. Then, a fair comparison can be made where each system is operating at its optimal design. Results from this study will reveal an in teresting outcome, letting us know the impact of the push and pull mechanisms on the systems’ operating costs as well as their profits.

The Impact

The strategy for the development of the supply chain should ensure a high level of fault tolerance of all links when exposed to adverse factors. The article analyzes the impact on the stability of the supply chain of two types of influences: failure and disruption. The low stability of the supply chain appears in the stoppage of work in case of any disruptions and failures. With moderate stability, disruptions do not give up a significant impact on the operation of the supply chain, and failures lead to an increase in operating costs to maintain the stability of work processes. With a high level of stability, failures can cause disruptions in the operations of individual links. In case of disruptions, response models are applied based on the control of process parameters, the subsequent analysis of the causes of disruptions and the development of measures to restore the normal operation of the links in the supply chain. Effective disruption response involves the use of proactive response models. For this, it is necessary to ensure flexibility and transparency of processes in all links of the supply chain based on digital services for material flow control and mining of big data.

E|Flow - From Production Line Concept to a Physically and Digitally Full-Meshed Production Network

The Impact

The continuous change of the consumers’ behavior combined with the impact of new technologies to the shop-floor is a challenge for the classic and established line production. Due to the effects of mass-customization there is an increase of the variants of the products combined with a reduction of the number of units per variation. Therefore, it is necessary that the next generations of production lines, especially the assembling devices, have to be designed more adaptable. Regarding to business information systems this trend is realized by a progressive digital integration of the particular units. However, at the physical level of the value stream the sequenced units are linked to each other and arranged flow-orientated since Taylor. Particularly, for mass production the so called “line concept” is well established. This inflexibility of the physical material flow blocks the spread of mass-customization into established industrial sectors where linked manufacturing steps are common use. A product which is very individualized is not, or only with an additional expense, producible on such linked lines. Therefore, it is necessary to resolve the linking of the physical material flow similar to the digital integration of the work flow. The result will be a physically and digitally full-meshed network of production units with a high variability. Especially for a production of goods with a high variant diversity the benefits of a physically meshed production site are obvious. Each part gets its own and individual routing, which depends on the current machine availability, the set-up and other factors. Furthermore, a change of the general conditions during the manufacturing of the part can be considered and lead to an adaption of the routing. One of the most important parts of a flexible physical production network is the transport system, consisting of autonomous and smart entities which are interconnected with business information systems, products and machines.

The Impact

The challenges of choosing methods of material flow control are bigger due to the fact that they authorize the quantity of production in each processing stage so that the products get to the customer at the right moment and in the quantity wanted, while minimizing the costs and stocks of the production system. For this reason, the objective of the research performed in this paper is to determine the impact of Kanban control methods on the performance indicators, total cost and interoperation stock of a production system, given the fact that many system parameters are variable. The main conclusion drawn from the results is that when the input parameters vary within certain limits the control method with the best performance indicators for a production line can be established following the methodology used in this paper. Methodology is a useful tool in the hand of those who design production systems because it allows the choice of the control method which provides the best performances, at least from the viewpoint of two indicators: costs and stocks.

The Impact

The nature of industrial manufacturing processes and the continuous need to adapt production systems to new demands require tools to support workers during transitions to new processes. At the early stage of transitions, human error rate is often high and the impact in quality and production loss can be significant. Over the past years, eXtended Reality (XR) technologies (such as virtual, augmented, immersive, and mixed reality) have become a popular approach to enhance operators’ capabilities in the Industry 4.0 paradigm. The purpose of this research is to explore the usability of dialogue-based XR enhancement to ease the cognitive burden associated with manufacturing tasks, through the augmentation of linked multi-modal information available to support operators. The proposed Interactive XR architecture, using the Spoken Dialogue Systems’ modular and user-centred architecture as a basis, was tested in two use case scenarios: the maintenance of a robotic gripper and as a shop-floor assistant for electric panel assembly. In both cases, we have confirmed a high user acceptance rate with an efficient knowledge communication and distribution even for operators without prior experience or with cognitive impairments, therefore demonstrating the suitability of the solution for assisting human workers in industrial manufacturing processes. The results endorse an initial validation of the Interactive XR architecture to achieve a multi-device and user-friendly experience to solve industrial processes, which is flexible enough to encompass multiple tasks.

The Impact

eamwork is becoming increasingly important to wide range of operations. It applies to all levels of the company. It is just as important for top executives as it is to middle management, supervisors and shop floor workers. Poor teamwork at any level or between levels can seriously damage organizational effectiveness. The focus of this paper was therefore to examine whether leadership practices consist of team leader behavior, conflict resolution style and openness in communication significantly influenced the team member’s satisfaction in hotel industry. Result indicates that team leader behavior and the conflict resolution style significantly influenced team member satisfaction. It was surprising that openness in communication did not affect significantly to the team members’ satisfaction.
