In this paper, an incentive policy is proposed to coordinate ordering, lead time, and pricing strategies in a two-echelon manufacturing supply chain (SC) consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. The system is faced with a stochastic demand which depends on both price and lead time. The manufacturer decides on production size and manufacturing acceleration rate while the retailer determi...

Latent defect screening is important to enhance memory reliability and to reduce the manufacturing cost. This paper presents an effective reliability failure acceleration method based on defect modeling, using cell data topology for bridge defects. The experimental results show that the proposed method is very effective to screen latent defects during the wafer burn-in process due to the fail d...

This paper uses MEMS circuit-level simulation to correlate gyro performance measures such as zero rate output (ZRO), linear acceleration sensitivity (Sa) and cross-axis sensitivity (Sca) to geometrical asymmetries. Elastic and electrostatic asymmetries in the gyroscope may arise due to device-level manufacturing variations in beam width, comb gap and metal mask misalignment in the CMOS-MEMS pro...

The exponential increase of industrial demand in the past two decades has led scientists to the development of alternative technologies for the fast manufacturing of engineering components, aside from standard and time consuming techniques such as casting or forging. Cold Spray (CS) is a newly developed manufacturing technique, based upon the deposition of metal powder on a substrate due to hig...

present research involves the complete simulation of pultrusion manufacturing process of glass/polyester composites. for that purpose, the curing process is divided to two liquid and gel-solid phases. the physical characteristics of the resin consist of specific heat, viscosity and coefficient of heat transfer changes with variations of temperature and increasing the degree of curing process (α...

In this paper, a comparative analysis of growth in total factor productivity (TFP) in the formal and informal segments of Indian manufacturing industries is undertaken, along with an analysis of differences in the level of TFP between these two segments of Indian manufacturing. The period covered for the analysis of TFP growth is 1980-81 to 2011-12, which is broken into three-sub-periods, 1980-...

The international Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) research program is an attempt to systematize and make operational world-wide knowledge of advanced manufacturing systems as a basis for new paradigms. This paper gives an overview of the IMS objectives, the six test cases to date, and the proposed future research activities. It describes the coordination of the IMS GNOSIS test case, con...

Abstract: We present the optimization of the manufacturing process of the 5nm bulk-FinFET technology by using the 3D process and device simulations. In this paper, bysimulating the manufacturing processes, we focus on optimizing the manufacturingprocess to improve the drive current of the 5nm FinFET. The improvement of drivecurrent is one of the most important issues in ...
