This study aimed to discuss the factors in shaping organisational culture when an organisation promotes lean management. It also aimed to explore which factors are critical among these factors. This study applied a survey questionnaire methodology, and obtained the consent of ten experts and scholars through purposive sampling. The survey was implemented by respondents completing the questionnaires themselves or through telephone interviews. The data were analysed by applying a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory to understand the degree of causality and correlation between the criteria. According to the data analysis results, three dimensions – ‘Lean management has substantial benefits‘, ‘Prevent process waste‘, and ‘Implement lean management programmes and activities/methods and tools’ – had the highest degree of correlation; and three dimensions – ‘Lean management has substantial benefits‘, ‘Base your management decisions on a long-term philosophy‘, and ‘Prevent process waste’ – had the highest degree of causality. Together these dimensions formed the group of causes. However, the degree of causality of ‘Lean management has substantial benefits’ was far greater than that of the other dimensions. This indicated its significance and influence. The degree of causality of ‘Implement lean management programmes and activities/methods’ was far less than that of the other dimensions, indicating that this dimension was the effect and was influenced by the other five dimensions. Overall, ‘Lean management has substantial benefits’ was the most critical factor with the highest degree of causality and correlation. Regarding management implications, a business organisation must encourage its members to regard this dimension as the most critical element when it promotes and shapes the organisational culture of lean management.

The purpose of higher learning is to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to support their respective professional careers. Ultimately, each career follows the employment or entrepreneurship path. The higher learning curriculum is generally more structured for the employment path, even though the global economy of the 21 century is fast becoming largely entrepreneurial. This work investigates the scope of entrepreneurship in the context of industrial engineering graduates. The aim is to develop a method to determine quantitatively the importance of focusing on entrepreneurial competence development in engineering students, and to propose a strategy to address the evident need for a greater emphasis on entrepreneurial competencies in graduate industrial engineers, based on market data. The approach is to analyse entrepreneurial projects as advertised by on-line freelance platforms, to determine the general characteristic skill-level requirements and perspectives on opportunity and remuneration. A strategy to enhance graduate entrepreneurial competency is also presented.

In terms of project risk management, ‘systemic risk’ is identified as risks which are artefacts of the environment which a project is executed in, and are related to (i) the project team’s actions, (ii) how project controls are managed and interact, and (iii) how the project is planned and executed. This paper proposes a methodology to estimate the cost impact of systemic risk on a portfolio of projects by using risk quantification and Monte Carlo simulation, in the absence of a validated parametric risk model, to estimate the systemic risks in an entire portfolio of projects. The case study simulation results indicate a significant effect of systemic risks on the project portfolio risk profile, where systemic risks increased the P80 value of the contingency requirement by +85.6%. The successful management of systemic risk would contribute to project success by limiting unnecessary waste.

Mixed reality as an emerging technology can improve users’ experience. Using this technology, people can interact between virtual objects and the real world. Mixed reality has enormous potential for enhancing the human cyber—physical system for different manufacturing functions: planning, designing, production, monitoring, quality control, training, and maintenance. This study aims to understand the existing development of mixed reality technology in manufacturing by analysing patent publications from the InnovationQ-Plus database. Evaluations of trends in this developing technology have focused on qualitative literature reviews and insufficiently on patent technology analytics. Patents connected to mixed reality will be mapped to give technology experts a better grasp of present progress and insights for future technological development in the industry. Thus 709 patent publications

The knowledge transfer role of a project management office in a matrixstructured telecommunication organisation was investigated by means of focus groups and interviews, and the results were analysed with ATLAS.ti software. The results confirmed the key role that the project management office plays in knowledge transfer. Corporate culture was found to have a greater effect on knowledge transfer than the type of organisational structure. Conflicts and other challenges typical of matrix structures did not necessarily hinder knowledge transfer, and even contributed to it. The knowledge transfer roles of the project management office were primarily perceived as a moderator of the transfer of technical information and a mediator of project and business knowledge.

Improving a robot’s posture enables it to perform with greater accuracy and repeatability. A stiffer posture also protects the robot from unnecessary vibrations and deflections that may be induced by an applied load. This paper presents a method for choosing high stiffness robot postures. The method is demonstrated on a six-degree-of-freedom Fanuc M10-iA serial manipulator. The posture identification and stiffness modelling were achieved by a reliable and cost-effective alternative to deflection measurement using IEPE accelerometers.

Metal additive manufacturing has evolved to a manufacturing process used in different industries. Especially in highly complex applications with small batches, such as aerospace or tooling, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has become established. But one of its major limitations is the size of the build chamber, which is limited to around 800 x 400 x 500 mm for the largest machine that is currently available. One solution to overcome this size limitation is to weld additive manufactured parts. While it has been proven for different materials that conventional welding processes can be applied to LPBF manufactured parts, the resulting weld seam quality for AlSi10Mg is still insufficient. By using laser welding in a vacuum, which is a newly developed and highly efficient laser welding process, the quality of the weld seams, especially in terms of porosity, can be improved. This technology is used to produce weld seams that are then tested for their mechanical properties. Finally, a solution for combining LPBF parts with conventional aluminium alloys is presented.
金属增材制造已经发展成为一种应用于不同行业的制造工艺。特别是在小批量的高度复杂的应用中，如航空航天或模具，激光粉末床熔合(LPBF)已经建立起来。但其主要限制之一是构建室的尺寸，对于目前可用的最大机器，其限制在800 x 400 x 500 mm左右。克服这种尺寸限制的一个解决方案是焊接增材制造的零件。虽然传统的焊接工艺已经被证明可以应用于LPBF制造的零件，但AlSi10Mg的焊缝质量仍然不足。真空激光焊接是一种新型的高效激光焊接工艺，可提高焊缝质量，特别是气孔率。该技术用于生产焊缝，然后测试其机械性能。最后，提出了LPBF零件与常规铝合金结合的解决方案。

Delays in project completion by state-owned enterprises are a major concern and a threat to the South African economy. This study investigates both the internal and the external factors influencing the late delivery of projects in state-owned enterprises, with ESKOM as a case study. The research design was a survey questionnaire that was used to gather sufficient information. The study revealed key internal and external factors influencing the late delivery of projects in the state-owned enterprises, including the failure to update construction programmes, the late delivery of contractor-supplied materials, corruption, and political interference. In conclusion, we posit that, to ensure early project completion, the authorisation and empowerment of the project team is vitally important.

Product design in the early stages requires a more quantitative process to ensure that the simulation study's outcome will meet expectations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a manufacturing simulation software package could effectively evaluate and validate the conceptualised blank and tooling to manufacture a sizeable complex-shaped aluminium alloy aircraft panel using die sheet hydroforming. Blank and tool concepts were conceptualised, evaluated, and validated digitally using the forming process conceptualisation cycle. Without the need to trial several blank and tool concepts physically, a significant saving was achieved using a resource-efficient development process. Even without modelling the hyperelastic rubber elements, a successful die sheet hydroformed simulation result was conducted. However, the study showed that a rubber-to-metal friction coefficient must be incorporated appropriately. The study further showed the lack of standard metrology methods in commercial simulation packages to evaluate a simulation result accurately. Simulation metrology is a new area of interest that requires further development. This research contributes to improving the sheet metal forming simulation process and, specifically, die sheet hydroforming process simulation. The study will benefit the aerospace and automotive industry and promote the adoption of digital manufacturing processes.
