A survey of faculty and staff members uncovers anger fear over job cuts other measures following the pandemic.

manufacturing process frequently employs optimization of machining parameters in order to improve product quality as well as to enhance productivity. the material removal rate is a significant indicator of the productivity and cost efficiency of the process. taguchi method has been implemented for assessing favorable (optimal) machining condition during the machining of nylon by considering thr...

Background In a recent study, it was shown that cost-awareness among physicians working at the Swedish emergency department is very low. In another study, it could be shown that price lists can reduce the costs of laboratory and radiological investigations ordered. However, cost-cutting projects can result in irritation among physicians feeling themselves to be forced to implement cost-cutting ...

In the new global economy, consumption has become a central issue for many fields of industries. This project work studied on the effectiveness of pulse duration of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) in machining performance in terms of cutting temperature, cutting force and surface roughness in turning AISI 1045 medium carbon steel by uncoated cemented carbide insert. Pulse mode reduces the ...

Value is often perceived differently by the proponents of new information technologies and those who allocate resources and define priorities. Such differences often become a roadblock to meeting true business needs. Project justifications regularly rely on calculated cost savings, which rarely measure the full benefit of new technologies. In fact, if cost savings provide a complete picture, th...

In this paper, the authors present a hybrid genetic approach for the two-dimensional rectangular guillotine oriented cutting-stock problem. In this method, the genetic algorithm is used to select a set of cutting patterns while the linear programming model permits one to create the lengths to produce with each cutting pattern to fulfil the customer orders with minimal production cost. The effec...
