Abstract:
Purpose: of this paper is to cover the main domains of industrial engineering based on the statistical and non-statistical techniques related to quality engineering. In this research, in addition to the review of the main domains of industrial engineering and the required specifications of technique, have been tried to present an integrated model of application of these techniques in order to create or increase the total score of productivity and sustainability in related scale with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. Design/methodology/approach: of this paper has been divided in two categories. The method of theoretical research consists of data collection tools, reference books, and several articles of the Iranian Center for Defences Standard. The method of practical research is the assessment of selected statistical and non-statistical techniques related to quality engineering, which have been deployed in the main domains of industrial engineering related to the manufacturing factories that are belonged to the selected industries of the Defence Industries Organization (DIO). Findings: of this paper consist of four main results. The maximum impact of standard statistical techniques in order to cover the main domains of industrial engineering and the required specifications of technique is related to the Statistical Process Control (SPC). Furthermore, the maximum impact of non-statistical techniques in order to cover them, is related to the Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The other results, which can be assessed with details, have shown that the maximum importance of the main domains of industrial engineering is related to the planning and manufacturing control and the maximum importance of the required specifications of technique is related to the mathematical analysis too. The total score of productivity and sustainability in related scale has been achieved to the upper than moderate level. In this research, the identification and determination of important factors, which have influenced on the productivity and sustainability have been done for the first time. The percentage of impact of the quality engineering techniques for both productivity and sustainability in the industrial engineering field is approximate to 70%. Research limitations/implications: of this paper suggest that the application of quality engineering tools including statistical and non-statistical techniques can be generalized to the other engineering or management fields with the same Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) or Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach in phase environments. Originality/value: of this paper have been extracted from the managers and experts involved with qualitative issues in the different levels of the Defence Industries Organization (DIO) and the Maham Group. This values are assessed from two aspects. Firstly, the validity of this research was carried out using expert’s opinions (Industrial advisers, Lead auditors of the Iranian center for Defences Standard and university professors). Secondly, all values of the research reliability are acceptable.

Abstract:
In the industrial workplace, automation enhances productivity and quality while reducing errors and waste, boosting safety, and providing greater flexibility to the manufacturing process. Industrial automation, in the end, results in enhanced safety, dependability, and profitability. Increased productivity is achieved by automating the welding machine for conveyer rollers. Many departments are included in this project like design, fabrication, testing, etc. The movement of welding torch with respect to workpiece can be automated with the help of pneumatics along with use PLC control system. Accuracy is the key factor on which the rate of success of the project can be measured. Hence, tried to standardized the project as much as possible by using standard data and equipment. Automation systems are increasingly displacing humans in the workplace. One of the advantages is that the human workforce will have more time to focus on more innovative projects as a result of the transition. All the required parameters are to be considered while designing the machine components. According to design, fabrication is done with the guidance of experts from the company as well as project guide.

Abstract:
Studies have shown that the clone of the Chardonnay R-10 against the background of the standard variety is characterized by higher agrobiological indicators: fruit bearing coefficient, average cluster weight, the yield from the bush exceeds the control by 1.3 times. The shoot productivity in the wet mass of the bunch in the clone of the Chardonnay R10 variety is characterized as “high”. The clone of the Sauvignon green R-3 variety showed high shoot fertility, the average mass of the bunch in the clone reaches 165.3 ± 2.2 g, exceeding the control 1.15 times, the yield from the bush reaches 4.02 ± 0.1 kg, exceeding the standard grade by 1 kg. The shoot productivity in the wet mass of the bunch is characterized as “high”. The average weight of a bunch in a clone of Muscat white R-3 variety reaches 275.3 ± 2.03 g, which is 95 grams more than the control (180.0 ± 3.2 g). The yield from the bush is 4.49 ± 0.2 kg, exceeding the standard variety by 1.7 times. The productivity of the shoot is characterized as “very high.” The degree of variation of characters in clone populations of the Chardonnay varieties R-10 (V = 2.4-9.8%), Sauvignon green R-3 (V = 1.88.7%), White Muscat R-3 (V = 1.2–9.3%) are characterized as weak, which indicates the genetic homogeneity of the studied clone populations under specific growing conditions. Technological evaluation showed that wine materials produced from introduced Chardonnay R-10 clones, Sauvignon green R-3 and White Muscat R-3 excel in quality indicators wine materials produced from standard varieties.

Abstract:
Environmental productivity comprehensively measures economic growth and environmental quality. Environmental innovation is considered to be the key to solving economic and environmental problems. Therefore, discussing the impact of environmental innovation on environmental productivity will reveal its economic and environmental effects. This paper measures environmental productivity by value added per unit of pollution emissions (four types of emissions are used) using panel data of 10 Chinese urban agglomerations from 2003 to 2016 to analyze the spatial correlation of environmental productivity, and constructs a spatial panel data model to empirically test the impact of environmental innovation on environmental productivity. It was found that environmental productivity measured by value added per unit of carbon dioxide emissions (gross domestic product (GDP)/CO2) had a significant positive spatial spillover effect, and measured by value added per unit of sulfur dioxide emissions (GDP/SO2), smoke (dust) emissions (GDP/SDE), and industrial sewage emissions (GDP/IS) had a significant negative spatial spillover effect. Environmental innovation has a significant negative inhibitory effect on environmental productivity measured by GDP/SDE and GDP/IS, but no obvious effect measured by GDP/CO2 and GDP/SO2. Control variables such as economic development level, industrial agglomeration, foreign direct investment, and endowment structure factor also show significant differences in environmental productivity measured by value added per unit of pollution emissions. In addition, there are significant differences in direct effects of explanatory variables on environmental productivity of local regions and indirect effects on neighboring regions. These differences are also related to the types of pollution emissions. Therefore, policymakers should set different policies for different types of pollution and encourage different types of environmental innovation, so as to achieve reduced pollution emissions and improved environmental productivity.

Abstract:
Industrial robots are now commonly used in production systems to improve productivity, quality and safety in manufacturing processes. Recent developments involve using robots cooperatively with production line operatives. Regardless of application, there are significant implications for operator safety in the event of a robot malfunction or failure, and the consequent downtime has a significant impact on productivity in manufacturing. Machine healthy monitoring is a type of maintenance inspection technique by which an operational asset is monitored and the data obtained is analysed to detect signs of degradation and thus reducing the maintenance costs. Developments in electronics and computing have opened new horizons in the area of condition monitoring. The aim of using wireless electronic systems is to allow data analysis to be carried out locally at field level and transmitting the results wirelessly to the base station, which as a result will help to overcome the need for wiring and provides an easy and cost-effective sensing technique to detect faults in machines. So, the main focuses of this research is to develop an online and wireless fault detection system for an industrial robot based on statistical control chart approach. An experimental investigation was accomplished using the PUMA 560 robot and vibration signal capturing was adopted, as it responds immediately to manifest itself if any change is appeared in the monitored machine, to extract features related to the robot health conditions. The results indicate the successful detection of faults at the early stages using the key extracted parameters.

Abstract:
A tese apresenta quadro conceitual baseado nas teorias da firma, evolucionária e posicionamento competitivo. É formado pelos construtos rotina e estratégia onde pesquisou-se a evolução da rotina de alto nível, representada pela qualidade da empresa Beta S.A., uma das maiores encarroçadoras de ônibus do mundo, com matriz no Rio Grande do Sul. O quadro é constituído pelos aspectos ostensivo e performativo, pelo individualismo metodológico interacionista e pelos elementos evolucionários: variação, seleção e retenção. O estudo caracterizou-se como uma abordagem qualitativa, com objetivo descritivo, tendo como estratégia de pesquisa estudo de caso. As técnicas de coleta foram a entrevista semiestruturada, história oral temática, técnica projetiva e pesquisa documental. Na variação, decorrentes da teoria evolucionária e do construto rotina, considerou-se para análise 42 questões divididas entre os blocos: seleção racional, cega, propagação seletiva path dependence, imitação, variação endógena, micromudança, padrões, conhecimento tácito e explícito, fatores emergentes e repertório individual. Pesquisaram-se os blocos, a partir da seleção, por meio das teorias do crescimento da firma e do posicionamento competitivo. Na retenção, consideraram-se os elementos que ampliam o escopo competitivo da rotina e que a limitam. Participaram da pesquisa 10 coordenadores, representados pelo nível operacional, 09 gerentes do nível tático e 10 diretores do nível estratégico. A análise ocorreu individualmente e após comparou-se com o nível correspondente. Ao final da análise de cada um dos blocos, formavam-se sistemas de inferência, que correspondiam as respostas simétricas, onde se caracterizavam, na sequência, os sistemas de dispersão, que correspondiam as assimetrias de concepção quanto a rotina da qualidade da Beta S.A. No nível operacional identificaram-se 34 sistemas de inferência, 42 no tático e 39 no estratégico. Em cada um dos blocos estabeleceram-se relações de causa e efeito comparados no modelo empírico da organização. Também se estruturaram, relações dos fatores limitantes e potencializadores da rotina a partir de subníveis. Evidenciou-se que a evolução da rotina, se deu pelas interações, erros e customização. Também se constatou que a evolução endógena da rotina, decorre de reconhecimento da restrição e ênfase na prevenção. Na aprendizagem da rotina, os resultados indicaram a necessidade de sistematização do conhecimento tácito em processo e maior comunicação. O estudo demonstrou simetria empírica com os conceitos teóricos de regularidade das rotinas, interpretações distintas, padrões heterogêneos e práticas de descobrimento. No aspecto performativo estruturou-se dois modelos para potencializar a rotina da qualidade da Beta S.A. Um, é a estruturação de estratégias futuras condicionadas ao estudo das variações retrospectivas, interações e aprendizagem. O outro objetiva ampliar a capacidade de absorção do comitê decisor da qualidade por meio do indivíduo e de segmentação de mercados transformando conhecimento de laço simples em duplo.

The thesis presents a conceptual framework based on the theory of the firm, it is focused on organizational evolution and competitive positioning and it is based on routines and strategy constructs. The research was conducted with such theorical context and deals with high-level quality routine in the company Beta SA, one of the leading bus manufacturers of the world, headquartered in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The conceptual framework considered ostensible and performative aspects of the research, which included an interactionist methodological individualist strategy and the elements of the evolutionary, such as variation, selection and retention. The routine study is characterized as a qualitative approach, with a descriptive objective, having as a research strategy a single case study. The techniques were semi-structured interviews, using thematic oral history, projective technique and documentary analysis. From the variation constructs, arising from the routine and the evolutionary theory, 42 questions were identified from various characteristics, such as rational selection, blind selection, selective propagation, path dependence, imitation, endogenous variation, micro-change, patterns, tacit and explicit knowledge, emerging and repertoire. These characteristics were investigated from a selection perspective, using the theories of the firm and of competitive positioning. The concept of retention is dealt with the elements that extend the competitive scope of the routine and limitation in which they are restrained. Ten coordinators, from the operational level, 09 managers of the tactical level and 10 directors of the strategic level participated in the research. The analysis occurred individually and then each analysis was compared with the corresponding level. At the end of the analysis of each of the constructs, inference systems were formed to correspond to the symmetrical responses, where the dispersion systems corresponding to the asymmetries of conception and the quality routine of Beta S.A. The whole interviews procedure allowed the identification of 34 inference systems at the operational level, 42 inference systems at the tactical level and 39 inference systems at the strategic level. For each unit, a cause and effect relationship was established, by comparing them with the empirical model of the organisation. Relationships of the limiting factors and potentiates of the routine from sub-levels were also structured. The results show that the evolution of the routine is due to interactions, errors and customization. It was also established that the endogenous evolution of the routine results from the recognition of the restriction and the emphasis on prevention. In the routine learning process, the results indicated the need to systematize the tacit knowledge into internal and greater routine communication. The study demonstrated the empirical similarity with the theoretical concepts of regularity of the routines, the different interpretations, the patterns of heterogeneous operation and the discovery practices. In the performative aspect, two models were designed to enhance the quality routine of Beta S.A. The first is the structure of the future strategies conditioned to the study of retrospective variations, interactions and learning. The second was designed to increase the absorption capacity of the quality decision-making committee through the individual transforming knowledge from single to double loop.

Abstract:
The purpose of this analytical study is to determine the degree of application of Total Quality Management (TQM) philosophy and practices in the industrial corporations in Jordan. Through detailed examination of primary and secondary empirical data from these corporations, the study examines the link between TQM and labour productivity. The population of the study consists of all Jordanian shareholding corporations listed under the industrial category in Amman Stock Exchange. In late 1998, this consisted of a total of 90 companies. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analysed in investigating the relationship between TQM implementation and labour productivity. Detailed survey responses from 76 participating companies were classified into two groups: high-level TQM implementation and low-level TQM implementation. About 60% of these companies were classified as companies with high-level TQM. Descriptive analysis of the survey responses plus company report data found that mean labour productivity measurements for companies with high-level TQM were significantly higher than for those with low-level TQM over the years (1993-1998). Also mean growth rates of labour productivity measurements for companies with high-level TQM were higher than for those with low-level of TQM during this period. Regression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant positive relationship between TQM and labour productivity. This relationship showed a high positive slope in companies with ISO 9000 certification, and considerably lower (but still positive) slope in companies without ISO 9000 certification.

Abstract:
This research explores the role, which the construct, service quality plays in an internal marketing setting. This is achieved by evaluating the perceptions and expectations of the production department with regards to the service quality provided by the maintenance department of a South African motor vehicle manufacturer. This was done using the INTSERVQUAL instrument, which was found to be a reliable instrument for measuring internal service quality within this context. A positivist approach has been adopted in conducting this research. There are two main hypotheses for this study: the first hypothesis is concerned with the relationship between the overall internal service quality and the five dimensions of service quality namely: tangibles, empathy, reliability, responsiveness and reliability. The second hypothesis focuses on the relationship between the front line staff segments of the production department and the five dimensions of internal service quality. The results of this research suggest that the perceptions and expectations of internal service customer segments plays a major role in achieving internal service quality. In addition, the importance of the INTSERVQUAL instrument in measuring internal service quality within the motor vehicle manufacturing environment is confirmed.

Abstract:
AbstractOver the past decades, farm-level yields of cowpea have remained low (0.6–0.8 t/ha) compared to what is observed on research fields (1.8–2.5 t/ha). Lack of farmer access to quality seeds of improved varieties and inappropriate cultural practices are the major factors responsible for the low productivity of the crop. The use of Innovative Platforms (IPs) as a strategy to facilitate farmer access to quality seeds was, therefore, considered under the Tropical Legume (TL) III and USAID Cowpea Outscaling projects in Northern Ghana. The platform activities started in 2016 with a total membership of 100, which increased steadily to 820 by December 2018. The research team of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research-Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (CSIR-SARI) trained platform members to produce certified seeds to be supplied to target communities, thereby enhancing smallholder farmers’ access to improved varieties. A total of 1848 members of the platform were trained in various farm operations. A revolving system was set up in which each farmer group was supplied with improved seed and after harvesting returned the equivalent of seed received to the platform. Having been trained to produce their own seed, members of the platform are self-reliant in acquiring improved seed and are actively engaged in various operations that sustain the gains of the two projects that have been phased out.

Abstract:
AbstractThe digital transformation of organizations in the industrial sector is primarily driven by the opportunity to increase productivity while simultaneously reducing costs through integration into a cyber-physical system. One way to fully tap the potential of a cyber-physical system is the concept of the digital twin, i.e., the real-time digital representation of machines and resources involved – including human resources. The vision of representing humans by digital twins primarily aims at increasing economic benefits. The digital twin of a human, however, cannot be designed in a similar way to that of a machine. The human digital twin shall rather enable humans to act within the cyber-physical system. It therefore offers humans a power of control and the opportunity to provide feedback. The concept of the digital twin is still in its infancy and raises many questions in particular from an educational perspective. The contribution aims at answering the following questions and refers to the example of team learning: Which and how much data should and may the digital twin contain in order to support humans in their learning? To what extent will humans be able to control and design their own learning? How may skills, experiences, and social interactions of humans be represented in the digital twin; their growth and further development, respectively? With cyber-physical systems transcending corporate, national, and legal boundaries, what learning culture will be the frame of reference for the involved organizations?

Abstract:
In the creation of new industries, products and services -- all of which are advances of the Fourth Industrial Revolution -- the human-robot interaction that includes automatic learning and computer vision are elements to consider since they promote collaborative environments between people and robots. The use of machine learning and computer vision provides the tools needed to increase productivity and minimizes delivery reaction times by assisting in the optimization of complex production planning processes. This review of the state of the art presents the main trends that seek to improve human-robot interaction in productive environments, and identifies challenges in research as well as in industrial - technological development in this topic. In addition, this review offers a proposal on the needs of use of artificial intelligence in all processes of industry 4.0 as a crucial linking element among humans, robots, intelligent and traditional machines; as well as a mechanism for quality control and occupational safety.

Abstract:
There is a growing need for providing a flexible mechatronic environment to enhance productivity in industrial processes. Specifically, in the area of sheet metal forming, where stamping quality and part consistency are still achieved by traditional iterative process of trial and error, there is a clear urgency to enhance productivity and quality through automation. The traditional feedback control schemes used in many industrial processes cannot be applied to sheet metal forming, mainly due to the complexity of the stamping process and associated difficulty of using COTS (off-the-shelf) controllers for such applications. In this paper we demonstrate a hardware-in-the-loop flexible mechatronic design environment that will allow batch production of stamped parts with varying geometry and material properties, with minimal defects and greater consistency, using Simulink/RTW/xpcTarget framework which affords the feature of open architecture controller and the NIST Real-time Control System (RCS) architecture that allows structured, hierarchical implementation of industrial controllers. In conjunction with the Neutral Message Language (NML) RCS also allows for distributed hardware-in-the-loop control design with multiple processors. The merits of this approach over conventional approaches are also highlighted.

Abstract:
Industrial robots are widely used in many industries for different jobs. With the specific goal to limit the expensive process of polishing due to unhealthy conditions, trained workers requirement and human mistakes, it is an attractive idea to automate the surface polishing by machines. The important job in robotic polishing process is path planning and force control. This research work is with the objective to systematize and optimize the path planning for free-form surfaces under the regulated force. Robotic polishing based on CAD models of the workpiece is presented in this paper. A new technique of path planning for symmetrical free-form surfaces is used. The proposed method is tested for the polishing of a glasses frame. Finally, the optimized path planning idea for the symmetrical free-form surfaces is compared with other path planning methods in terms of quality and productivity.

Abstract:
The Pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding (P-GMAW) process is used in high-technology industrial applications and it is one of the most significant arc welding processes. The quality, productivity and cost of welding will be affected by the P-GMAW welding input process parameters and are considered to the most important factors. It is necessary to determine the input and output relationship of the welding processes in order to understand and control the P-GMAW welding process parameters. P-GMAW is widely used process, especially in thin sheet metal industries. It offers an improvement in quality and productivity over regular Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). The process enables stable spray transfer with low mean current and low net heat input. This paper describes the estimation and comparison of welding process parameters viz., current, gas flow rate and wire feed rate on ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, percentage of elongation and hardness. Experiments have been performed based on Taguchi’s L27 standard orthogonal array. Estimation of welding performances have been carried out using sophisticated mathematical models viz., MRA and GMDH, and, compared. The GMDH algorithm is designed to learn the process by training the algorithm with the experimental data. Three different criterion functions, viz., regularity, unbiased and combined criterions were considered for estimation in GMDH. Different GMDH models can be obtained by varying the percentage of data in the training set and the best model can be selected from these, viz., 50%, 62.5% and 75%. Estimation and comparison of welding performances were carried out using MRA and GMDH techniques.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the integration of a remote robot laboratory with nondestructive ultrasound evaluation (NDE) experiments. A remotely automated quality inspection system is designed to analyze dimensions as well as detect internal flaws of parts via an Internet-based NDE system. The remote quality inspection system includes: Internet controllable robot via Ethernet connection, multiple Web-cameras, Ultrasonic Automatic Flaw Detector, LabVIEW module, and computers with Internet access capable of remote connection. The uniqueness of the project lies in making this process Internet-based and remote robot operated. An Internet-based procedure such as the one we are developing will allow industrial companies involved in NDE procedures to increase productivity and profits by allowing an employee to monitor multiple operations over the Internet without having to be at a specified location. In addition, the utilization of remotely controlled robots for educational purposes is expected to increase the degree of immersive presence of the students engaging in such Internet-based laboratory exercises as well as the level of online interactivity between the faculty and students.

Abstract:
Dramatic advancements and adoption of computing capabilities, communication technologies, and advanced, pervasive sensing have impacted every aspect of modern manufacturing. Furthermore, as society explores the 4th Industrial Revolution characterized by access to and leveraging of knowledge in the manufacturing enterprise, the very character of manufacturing is rapidly evolving, with new, more complex processes and radically new products appearing in both the industries and academe. As for traditional manufacturing processes, they are also undergoing transformations in the sense that they face ever-increasing requirements in terms of quality, reliability and productivity, needs that are being addressed in the knowledge domain. Finally, across all manufacturing we see the need to understand and control interactions between various stages of any given process, as well as interactions between multiple products produced in a manufacturing system. All these factors have motivated tremendous advancements in methodologies and applications of control theory in all aspects of manufacturing: at process and equipment level, manufacturing systems level and operations level. Motivated by these factors, the purpose of this paper is to give a high-level overview of latest progress in process and operations control in modern manufacturing. Such a review of relevant work at various scales of manufacturing is aimed not only to offer interested readers information about state-of-the art in control methods and applications in manufacturing, but also to give researchers and practitioners a vision about where the direction of future research may be, especially in light of opportunities that lay as one concurrently looks at the process, system and operation levels of manufacturing.

Abstract:
Automation at the process level for machining operations and machine tools has been a focus of research attention in both academia and industry alike for several decades. Research in this area has carried strong expectations in the context of increased productivity, improved part quality, reduced costs, and relaxed part design constraints. The basis for these expectations is two-fold. First, machining process automation, if exercised strategically and advantageously, can perform consistently for large batch production or flexibly for small batch jobs. Secondly, process automation can be set up to autonomously tune the machine parameters (feed, speed, depth of cut, etc.) in pursuit of desirable performance (tolerance, finish, cycle time, etc.), thereby bridging the gap between product design and process planning while reaching beyond the human operators’ capability. The success of manufacturing process automation hinges primarily on the effectiveness of process monitoring and control systems. This paper reviews the evolution and the state of the art of machining process monitoring and control technologies. Key issues to be presented include sensor techniques, control techniques, hardware availability, and implementation examples. Also to be reviewed are the benefits of the systems and the reasons for their delayed realization in many of today’s industrial application domains.
