S PC is SPC is discussed with a view to indicating its implications not only to manufacturing and quality but to research and product development as well. In the manufacturing/quality area, the efforts and methods attending full-scale implementation of SPC are briefly reviewed with special reference to the differences inherent in powder making versus manufacturing of parts. SPC charting techniq...

Process tolerancing based on the process capability studies is the optimistic and pragmatic approach of determining the manufacturing process tolerances. On adopting the define–measure–analyze–improve–control approach, the process potential capability index (C p) and the process performance capability index (C pk) values of identified process characteristics of connecting rod ...

It is a trend to implement mass customization (MC) to meet customer demands and win the global competition. With mass customization, products can be produced with low cost, high quality, and in time as mass production. To implement MC, today’s manufacturing process should be reengineered. However, it is believed that manufacturing process reengineering (MPR) is a highly risk job. A manufacturin...

In this paper, a kind of multi-disciplinary simulation and design platform for wafer manufacturing process with Chamber system is presented. This platform is developed as an in-house program, with different functional component for multi-disciplinary problems, which can drive the commercial FEM solver with code. There are also management function for user, products, and analysis or optimization...

Modelling manufacturing process of complex products like electronic ships is crucial to maximize the quality of the production. The Process Mining methods developed since a decade aims at modelling such manufacturing process from the timed messages contained in the database of the supervision system of this process. Such process can complex making difficult to apply the usual Process Mining alg...

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing has been intensively used for many industrial applications due to its attractive advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. The process parameters used in FDM have significant influence on the part quality and its properties. This process produces the plastic part through complex mechanisms and it involves complex relationships be...

The volume production of industrial hydrogel sensors lacks a quality-assuring manufacturing technique for thin polymer films with reproducible properties. Overcoming this problem requires a paradigm change from the current recipe-driven manufacturing process to a specification-driven one. This requires techniques to measure quality-determining hydrogel film properties as well as tools and metho...
