A perspective on manufacturing strategy: Produce more with less
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last decade, the manufacturing landscape has changed worldwide. Parts of the traditional manufacturing activities havemoved toworld regions, away from the long-established industrial centres in Western Europe, North America and Japan. The demand for goods has been increased and so has the demand for natural resources and energy. However, since resources and energy are finite, new ways of producing more with less ought to be found. In this context, this work discusses the challenges to be addressed and focuses on the technologies, related to novel processes, materials and information/ communication, which could deal with the issues pertaining to increased demand on manufacturing goods, the finite resources, and environment-conscious production. 2008 CIRP. * Corresponding author.

Study and Implementation of Lean Manufacturing in a Garment Manufacturing Company: Bangladesh Perspective
Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...
متن کاملImpedance Control of Robots Using Voltage Control Strategy Revisited
In this note, we show that the impedance control strategy proposed in the paper is not feasible from practical implementation point of view. Next, a robust impedance controller is proposed for electrically driven robots using Fourier series (FS). The fact that robots' actuators have limited voltage is also considered in controller design procedure. In comparison with other impedance controllers...
