Toward Energy Efficient Manufacturing Enterprises

February 2, 2011
Author(s)
Kevin W. Lyons, Alexander Weissman, Ram D. Sriram, Lalit Chordia
Industrial enterprises have significant negative impacts on the global environment. Collectively, from energy consumption to greenhouse gases to solid waste, they are the single largest contributor to a growing number of planet-threatening environmental

Metrics for Mixed Pallet Stacking

January 31, 2011
Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Thomas R. Kramer, Frederick M. Proctor
Stacking boxes of various sizes and contents on pallets (i.e. making mixed pallets) is a primary method of preparing goods for shipment from a warehouse to a store or other distant site. Many billions of dollars are spent each year in preparing, shipping

Author(s)
Joachim Fischer, M. DePodesta, K. D. Hill, Michael R. Moldover, Laurent Pitre, R. Rusby, Peter Steur, Osamu Tamura, R. White, L. Wolber
In 2005, the Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT) recommended the creation of a Mise en pratique for the definition of the kelvin and envisioned that future versions of the Mise en pratique would recommend values of the differences between

A Prototype of Modeling and Simulation for Sustainable Machining

January 19, 2011
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Eric Chernow, Deogratias Kibira, Kevin W. Lyons
Modeling and simulation techniques have frequently been utilized to analyze manufacturing processes. The simulation of Numerically Controlled (NC) machine tools is preferred to real machine testing of the programs due to the potential savings of time and
