Energy savings approaches for high-tech manufacturing factories

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF HIGH - TECH FACTORIES Leon

Contemporary technology for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) integrates computer aided design (CAD) and engineering analysis (CAE) to support rapid, distributed, team-oriented product data development and management, including high fidelity simulation on demand. . This technology potentially provides a platform for creating a new generation of factory design tools which enable “on demand” sim...

A Plant Productivity Measure for High-Tech Manufacturing

A total productivity measure was developed as part of an action research productivity analysis project for a manufac turer of computer peripheral devices. The productivity meas ure had to be appropriate for a broad range of automation levels, yet resolve the long-standing methodological problems of index construction in a manner intuitive to management. The difficulties encountered in attemptin...

Field study of energy savings in manufacturing facilities

Factors Affecting Sustainability Development: High-Tech Manufacturing Firms in Taiwan

Sustainable development has been widely considered as an important issue in the hightech industry. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors motivating sustainability development strategies adoption and implementation and to study the relationships between the motivating factors and the readiness of implementation at strategic level (management willingness) and tactical level (res...

Achieving High Energy Savings in Multifamily Properties

The key to achieving high energy savings (over 20% consistently) is offering a turn-key (“one-stop-shop”) approach to implementing deep retrofits. This has traditionally been the model utilized by Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) on large projects in the MUSH (Municipal, University, School and Hospital) market. Emerging, small firms have enhanced the ESCOs approach and now deploy it for multifa...
