Abstract:
Manufactural activity is the basis of every sound economy. The risk for today's industrial establishments in our let us say european conditions is to hold competitiveness in the terms of global economy. This diploma thesis is focusing on solving problems of manufacturing scheduling with the view of theory and practice. It is impeach of real-life production. Scheduling belongs to hard combinatorial problems and therefore are usually solved by various heuristic or metaheuristic methods. For application of mentioned metaheuristic methods is important to use suitable choice of representative data.

This thesis describes research that has developed a decision model for the analytical selection of manufacturing best practices. The competitiveness and growth in the manufacturing sector is critical for Singapore economy. Design and improvement of manufacturing systems is imperative to sustain the competitiveness of manufacturing organisations in the country. It is common for companies to adopt manufacturing best practices in this design process to emulate the success and performance of their counterparts. However, practices should be adapted to the competitive environment and strategy of the

Abstract:
Design of Experiments (DOE) is a powerful technique for understanding, characterising and modelling products and processes and improving their performance. Whilst the bulk of its literature revolves around how it should be applied, little attention, if any, is devoted to the manner in which it is being implemented in practice particularly in manufacturing. One objective of this study was to bridge this gap by reviewing practical applications in three manufacturing journals. This revealed not only limited use but also multiple deficiencies. Many of these concerned a lack of familiarity with the

Abstract:
Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) broadly refers to a group of technologies that create objects using material deposition rather than by reductive means, which describes most means of traditional manufacturing. This study is interested in the use of these additive manufacturing technologies by craftspeople located around the world. Craft practice has a tendency to be associated with manual processes and not with technology. This study questions whether these ideas are relevant to a new generation of craftspeople.

This thesis is a study analyzing employee-related disclosures made by five multinational firms that operate in the electronics manufacturing services industry. It found that the employee-related disclosures respond to the need of legitimacy yet are problematic in quality. In doing so, this thesis provides practical implications – employee-related disclosures pertaining to the electronics manufacturing services industry can be improved to better address labor rights issues in this industry.
