As business environments change rapidly, the ability to quickly set up a collaborative automated business processes is desirable. Collaborative business processes are increasingly driven by business agility, adaptability and flexibility, particularly in a modern manufacturing enterprise environment. Traditionally, collaborative business processes are used among big organisations. Many of collab...

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the decision process of manufacturing systems (MSs) under uncertain conditions. The decision process needs a systematic approach to structure the system requirements and highlight the management preferences while considering vague criteria. In order to establish a suitable empirical approach for the decision process compatible with the current/future re...

Process development and manufacturing for biopharmaceuticals are often disjointed activities. Disconnects among groups are aggravated by a lack of common terminology and poor data management practices. A UK biotech consortium has initiated a collaborative development effort to address data management issues. The proposed outcome is a data model, based on the ISA-88 Standard for Batch Control, t...

Antivenoms have been used successfully for more than a century and up to now constitute the only effective treatment for snakebites .The production of antivenin started long time ago when the calmette was prepared the antivenom in 1894.The method currently used to prepare antivenom by most of the manufacturers are originated from the method of Pope which was develop in 1938. Several new approac...

Statistical process control ($SPC$), an internationally recognized technique for improving product quality and productivity, has been widely employed in various industries. $SPC$ relies on the use of control charts to monitor a manufacturing process for identifying causes of process variation and signaling the necessity of corrective action for the process. Fuzzy data exist ubiquitously in the ...

This paper describes an approach, based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) that assists decision makers or manufacturing engineers determining the most appropriate manufacturing process to be employd in manufacturing of composite automotive bumper beam at the early stage of product development process. There are 5 types of processes under consideration namely injection moulding (IM), res...

New Capgemini research shows how organizations can move to the next level of BPM maturity the way we see it

Final step of rail manufacturing is cold rolling straightening process and it hassignificant effects on mechanical properties, straightness, flatness and development of residualstresses. Measurement of residual stresses after straightening process is obligated by railmanufacturing standards. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluateresidual stresses after straightening ...
