A System Dynamics Modeling Framework for Sustainable Manufacturing

August 10, 2009
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Sanjay Jain, Charles McLean
This paper proposes a framework for application of system dynamics modeling to sustainable manufacturing. Sustainable manufacturing involves interaction of multiple complex systems including those in manufacturing, environmental, financial, and social

Environmental impact of manufactured products: A measure inspired by nature

July 10, 2009
Author(s)
Prabir Sarkar, Sudarsan Rachuri, Hyo Won Suh, Kevin W. Lyons, Ram D. Sriram
Environmental impacts of products are generally determined by using criteria or indicators. There are many criteria or indicators available and during design selecting some of them and assigning weight is difficult. As natural systems are considered to be

Towards Information Networks to Support Composable Manufacturing

October 15, 2008
Author(s)
Mahesh Mani, Albert W. Jones, Jun H. Shin, Ram D. Sriram
Rigid, supply-chain organizational structures are giving way to highly dynamic collaborative partnerships. These partnerships will develop rapidly by composing global manufacturing resources in response to open market opportunities; and, they will disband

Science based Information Metrology for Engineering Informatics

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Sudarsan Rachuri
Engineering informatics is the discipline of creating, codifying (structure and behavior that is syntax and semantics), exchanging (interactions and sharing), processing (decision making), storing and retrieving (archive and access) the digital objects

Sustaining Engineering Informatics: Toward Methods and Metrics for Digital Curation

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Mahesh Mani, Sudarsan Rachuri
Ensuring the long-term usability of engineering informatics (EI) artifacts is a challenge, particularly for products with longer life cycles than the computing hardware and software used for their design and manufacture. Addressing this challenge requires

Data Exchange of Parametric CAD Models Using ISO 10303-108

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Junhwan Kim, Mike Pratt, Raj G. Iyer, Ram D. Sriram
Modern CAD systems generate feature-based product shape models with parameterization and constraints. Until recently, standards for CAD data exchange among different CAD systems were restricted to the exchange of pure shape information. These standards

Dimensional Inspection Planning Based on Product Data Standards

July 1, 1994
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng
This paper describes an activity model for dimensional inspection planning that bridges the gap between product design and the dimensional measurement of manufactured products. Functionally, this model specifies requirements for developing a part of a
