Recent advances in manufacturing technology and industrial automation require efficient and quality oriented machining practices. Performance, cost effectiveness and reliability of the work piece depends on the quality of surface roughness and can be measured with contact (conventional) and non contact (advanced) methods. Various measurement techniques starting from stylus to machine vision are...

The corporate performance and measurement discipline is dynamically changing. Organizations will increasingly identify sets of performance issues and build tracking mechanisms to monitor how the enterprise is doing. As a practice, performance measurement and management requires objectivity and careful planning in order to see its successful, continuous implementation. University Malaya is curre...

The evaluation of control performance by means of performance indices from large amounts of measurement data is investigated. The focus is twofold: Firstly to assess information that can be deduced from many data sets and secondly to investigate the usefulness of simple performance measures. Established methods and some useful new ideas are evaluated on many industrial data sets and the results...

This field study examines whether and how supervisors’ subjective adjustments to objective performance measures are influenced by their prior subjective evaluations of employees. Evaluations were determined entirely subjectively in the sample internal audit organization in 2005. In 2006, the organization introduced a pay-for-performance incentive plan that established four objective measures of...

This report deals with the analysis of MIMO transmission performances from channel impulse responses CIRs provided by a 3D-propagation simulation software (3D-PSS) developed within the SIC laboratory (Poitiers, France). Here, the 3D-PSS setting of concern is dedicated to Hiperlan/2 MIMO in-door environment. The CIRs are generated at a working frequency fw, and need to be sampled to simulate the...

High precision automated size measurements are required during industrial and scientific applications. The principle of sub-pixel measuring is based on an intensity interpolation algorithm. Combined with the characteristics of light, a system with high precision, short measuring time and low cost was developed. The proposed system is then applied to the measurement of 5 cm objects and compared ...

In the context of a global competitive environment, industrial companies have to pursue continuous performance improvement, leading to the popularity of Lean Manufacturing throughout the world. Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is considered the relevant performance measurement tool, which is able to take into account a machine’s availability, performance and quality. Therefore, many firms ...
