The vast bodies of studies in the word and recently in Iran have attempted to investigate the manufacturing industry structure (indicating the level of industries in terms of monopoly or competitiveness) and its trend using the various indices and methods. Despite the importance of Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient in indicating the market structure, these methods, capabilities have been neglec...

With the evolving needs of today’s manufacturing industries in the area of product development, 3D CAD model has become very important. Often in many situations there is a need to remanufacture a physical part where the CAD data is not available with the manufacturer or is lost because of several reasons. In such cases reverse engineering is found to be an effective and efficient tool. Reverse ...

According to a recent report by the Iranian industrial organization, over 1700 Industrial and Engineering Brick Manufacturing (IEBM) industries are currently running in Iran, using the same method in common use worldwide. The present research study used a combination of a literature review, existing research reports, and a model of assessment among the four main kinds of IEBM industries to esti...

Welding is one of the key components of numerous manufacturing industries, which has potential physical and chemical health hazards. Many components of welding fumes can potentially affect the lung function. This study investigates the effects of welding fumes on lung function and respiratory symptoms among welders of an automobile manufacturing plant in Iran. This historical cohort study asses...

this paper using generalized roeger's model calculated the lerner index for iranian active industries in 4-digit isic codes during the period 1995-2007. the findings indicate that the lerner index has been between 8 to 16 percent in 38 industries among 131 ones. the index also in different industries shows that more than 50 percent of iranian industries have monopolistic power such that th...

This paper revolves around the impact of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies in Indian Manufacturing industries. Statistics inculcates that a number of industries subsists, which are using different forms of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT). “Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT)” is a generic term, depicting an assembly of manufacturing technologies, which combines both scope and ...

As a pillar industry in supporting Chinese economy, Chinese manufacturing industry consumes a large amount of energy and causes serious environmental pollutants. Better understanding the greening level of manufacturing industry is important to promote its green growth. Hence first this study, measures the green growth efficiency for Chinese manufacturing industries by applying the EBM measuring...

Generating effective employment opportunities is one of the principal challenges faced by development planners in Iran. If investment projects are undertaken on the basis of sectoral priorities in production and employment, the economic and social problems emanating from unemployment will be reduced, helping the Country’s process of development. In this paper, an attempt is made to identify key...

Empirical research has shown tremendous productivity di erences, even within narrowly de ned industries. A great host of studies is explainsing this productivity disparity by factors such as idiosyncratic technology shocks, input price di erences, management skills, or international trade. Although these explanations are undoubtedly important, the current paper suggests that product diversi cat...

This study presents an empirical evidence concerning the comparison of  the dynamics of competitiveness in the creative and manufacturing industries. It investigated the impact of the economic crisis in the behavior of the competitiveness of those industries. The samples were 42 firms taken from 3 sub-sectors of the creative industries and 3 sub-sectors of the manufacturing industries listed in...
