PROCEDURE FOR DEVELOPING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING

June 8, 2017
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Deogratias Kibira, Michael P. Brundage, Katherine C. Morris
The need for an open, inclusive, and neutral procedure for developing key performance indicators (KPIs) has been increasing as manufacturers seek to determine what to measure in order to improve environmental sustainability of their products and

An Open Web-Based Repository for Capturing Manufacturing Process Information

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Mahesh Mani, Katherine C. Morris, Kevin W. Lyons, Bjoern J. Johansson
With recent progress in developing more effective models for representing manufacturing processes, this paper presents an approach towards an open web-based repository for storing manufacturing process information. The repository is envisioned to include

STANDARD REPRESENTATIONS FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

October 1, 2016
Author(s)
Mahesh Mani, Jon Larborn, Bjoern J. Johansson, Kevin W. Lyons, Katherine C. Morris
This paper describes ASTM’s new guide for characterizing the environmental aspects of manufacturing processes (ASTM WK35705). The guide defines a generic representation to support structured information. Representations of multiple unit manufacturing

Morphology-insensitive Performance Facilitates Transition from Spin-Coating to Roll-to-Roll Coating For High-Performance, Solution-Processed Solar Cells

August 2, 2016
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Jonathan Downing, Sebastian Engmann, Hyun W. Ro, Andrew A. Herzing, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Harald Ade, Maged Addelsamie, Aram Amassian, Yuhang Liu, He Yan
Solution processing via roll-to-roll (R2R) coating promises a low cost, low thermal-budget, sustainable revolution for the production of solar cells. Yet virtually all high performance solution processed research cells have been demonstrated by spin

Understanding sustainability data through unit manufacturing process representations: a case study on stone production

May 24, 2016
Author(s)
Bjoern J. Johansson, Mahesh Mani, William Z. Bernstein, Kevin W. Lyons, KC Morris, Laurie Rebouillat, Ilaria Barletta
Efficiency of natural stone production processes in quarries directly affects the economic output and environmental performances, such as production lead times and energy consumptions. Knowledge on stone production processes is crucial in making

Standards Landscape and Directions for Smart Manufacturing Systems

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Katherine C. Morris, Simon P. Frechette
The future of manufacturing lies in being able to adapt quickly to changing conditions. From smaller lot sizes, to more customization, to sudden changes in supply chain, the variability that manufacturers face is rapidly increasing. The key to enabling

A Generalized Data-Driven Energy Prediction Model with Uncertainty for a Milling Machine Tool using Gaussian Process

June 8, 2015
Author(s)
Jinkyoo Park, Raunak Bhinge, Nishant Biswas, Amrita Srinivasan, Kincho H. Law, David Dornfeld, Moneer Helu, Sudarsan Rachuri
Using a machine learning approach, this study investigates the effects of machining parameters on the energy consumption of a milling machine tool, which would allow selection of optimal operational strategies to machine a part with the minimum energy

Building Analytical Support for Homeland Security

February 2, 2015
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, Charles W. Hutchings, Yung-Tsun Lee
This chapter discusses modeling and simulation as a significant means for providing analytical support for homeland security problem solving and decision making that involves what can be considered a complex and dynamic system of systems - the current

Towards Development of a Testbed for Sustainable Manufacturing

November 25, 2014
Author(s)
Juyeon Lee, Seungjun Shin, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Don E. Libes
A growing number of manufacturing companies are treating sustainability as a strategic objective that will increase both their global competitiveness and their market share. To implement this objective, these companies must first assess, and then evaluate
