The Analytic Network Process (ANP) has been widely researched to choose the best alternative. However, it seems that no one shows interest in using such analytical process in developing the network design on ANP analysis for more accurate results. This paper presents the application of the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and ANP techniques to develop a methodology that can make a precise network. The preliminary analysis of ANP proves that if the default network is correct, the result will be right as well. The application in this case study is on the transportation of hazardous products. The network designed can be analyzed with ANP to find suitable alternatives for creating a risk management plan, e.g. risk prioritization on transportation system development.

The natural biosphere operates according to a system of nutrients and metabolisms, in which there is no such thing as waste. Forming an eternal cycle, which iteratively recycles its major nutrients. This objective is what many industrial organizations aim for by closing industrial material and product loops in the Technosphere. In doing so industrial organisations aim to drive sustainability, ensure supply resilience and explore new financial revenue streams. Unlike the biosphere, the technosphere is immature, often failing to prove financial vitality and hence scalability. This paper utilizes biomimicry to cross fertilize natural intelligence, which evolved over millions of years. Biological organism ensures vitality (surplus of calories) by foraging for food, a process, which contains continuous search and digestion processes, optimized to environmental conditions through evolution. This paper explores how biological search and digestion strategies can be exploited in industrial product takeback systems to make informed decisions for maximizing industrial vitality (surplus of financial income).

In recent years, technical innovation is also expanded in the field of housing construction. The unit basic reinforcing rod system (BRS) is one of important innovation of “layout of reinforcement bar process” in the making of the housing base. This process was performed by handwork in the past, many housing construction sites are using BRS at now. The BRS is made in factory and production process are complicated. Therefore, the process systematization is behind. A manufacturing premise of BRS is regarded as a flow shop system that the lot sizing condition is different every process. In addition, the first process of BRS is a cutting process. It is also important for making of BRS. In this study, an efficient scheduling method is proposed using the priority of the lot sizing condition and a cutting process.

Data-driven methods based on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) becomes a recent trend for wind turbine condition monitoring. However, SCADA data are known to be of low quality due to low sampling frequency and complex turbine working dynamics. In this work, we focus on the phase I analysis of SCADA data to better understand turbines' operating status. As one of the most important characterization, the power curve is used as a benchmark to represent normal performance. A powerful distribution-free control chart is applied after the power generation is adjusted by an accurate power curve model, which explicitly takes into account the known factors that can affect turbines' performance. Informative out-of-control segments have been revealed in real field case studies. This phase I analysis can help improve wind turbine's monitoring, reliability, and maintenance for a smarter wind energy system.
基于SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)的数据驱动方法已成为风电机组状态监测的发展趋势。然而,由于采样频率低和涡轮工作动态复杂,SCADA数据的质量很低。在这项工作中,我们将重点放在SCADA数据的第一阶段分析上,以更好地了解涡轮机的运行状态。作为最重要的特性之一,功率曲线被用作表示正常性能的基准。通过精确的功率曲线模型对发电量进行调整后,应用了功能强大的无分布控制图,该控制图明确考虑了已知的影响涡轮机性能的因素。在实际的现场案例研究中揭示了信息失控部分。第一阶段的分析可以帮助改善风力涡轮机的监测、可靠性和维护,以实现更智能的风能系统。

Sharing economy has been a phenomenon in many countries for years owing to a number of factors such as the economic recession which contributes to a pervasive thinking of renting over buying. This paper examines the sharing behavior in sharing economy based on social capital theory and social exchange theory, and looks at the example of USPACE, a start-up company providing shared parking services in metropolis, Taiwan. The research covers the urban areas in Taipei and Kaohsiung and collects data of USPACE users. A total of 160 copies of questionnaire have been distributed and 151 valid copies returned, a valid response rate of 94.4%. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) has been used for empirical analysis. The findings show that trust and identification will significantly affect the intention to share, so will extrinsic rewards and the enjoyment in helping others, while norms and reciprocity do not have significant impacts on the sharing intention. The results not only extend the application of social capital and social exchange theory, but also provide directions for future studies from sharing economy's perspective of various industries.

The main problem facing an electrode manufacturer is the high rate of defective products. Among the factors that have given rise to the defects are downtimes due to line changes and disorganized workstations during production processes. To solve this problem, a proposal was developed using the 5S and Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) tools to reduce the number of production defects. To support this analysis, a simulation will be carried out, seeking a considerable reduction of defective products within the production area. Implementing the Lean manufacturing philosophy, the number of defective products was reduced by 11.23%, thereby improving the quality of the production process and yielding economic benefits.

Due to patent expiry of 3D Printing technology, the cost of 3D printer becomes affordable to the domestic, primary and secondary schools. The Fused Decomposition Modelling (FDM) is one of the most popular 3D printing technologies and different polymeric materials are available in the market. The Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic Acid/Polylactide (PLA) are the most commonly used materials due to lower cost. The FDM consists of printing head with a heater and nozzle. The plastic filament was melt due to high temperature. During the melting process, chemicals are evaporated from the filaments. The exact amount and compositions of hazardous chemical emission is not yet defined. Although the industrial standard, ANSI/CAN/UL 2904, was published on January 31, 2019, it only covers the technical requirements on a single 3D printer. In the paper, we will study the potential compositions of hazardous chemical emission from 3D printer and suggest a list of parameters to be measured in a school laboratories in order to protect students.

This paper presents the results of the evaluation of the effectiveness that rolling stock maintenance (RSM) has on quality assurance (QA) at the largest rail, port and pipeline company in South Africa, as a case study conducted at its Koedoespoort depots and factories. Using a quantitative approach descriptive in nature, the researchers aimed to gain an insight into the research problem and to investigate the effectiveness RSM has on QA at freight rail company. Data was collected from a sample of 30 employees randomly selected at the engineering division. The evidence collected shows that the engineering division does not have a criterion to monitor the effectiveness of the current maintenance plan, the division does not have a maintenance system that is well understood by the artisans as well as technicians. The recommendations emphasized on a continuous training program on quality planning and implementation for the whole engineering division to ensure that the proposed maintenance strategy delivers as expected right the first time.

Flexible development processes and robust designs are crucial for today's highly dynamic project environments. Agile methods such as Scrum have gained popularity over the years as an effective approach to address these challenges. Although known for providing flexibility, these methods often lack robustness in designs. Pursuing multiple design concepts can be more advantageous when faced with unforeseen changes and uncertainty. Set-based design (SBD) involves the development of alternative designs in a dynamic setting that, as a result, are both robust and flexible. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to combine SBD with the Scrum methodology by using sprint backlogs. It has been proved that the application of SBD, even in small agile projects, can have advantages. We present our results in a product-oriented way to increase the applicability of our approach.
