The existing manufacturing environment lacks the integration of intelligent technologies and sustainable industrial development (SID) needed to boost production and create a cleaner, superior environment. Developments in Sustainable Manufacturing Management: Key Concepts and Toolsintroduces some mechanisms required to evaluate the environmental impact of intelligent techniques in contemporary organisations. The book also advocates for the use of alternative renewable energy source...

Lean Manufacturing is defined as efficient approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non–value add activities) through regular improvement flowing the product in the pull of the customer in reach of perfection. Lean manufacturing is often simply "lean", is a systematical method for the leave out of waste ("Muda") within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into account waste created through overwhelm ("Muri") and waste created through imperfection in workloads ("Mu...

Friction welding is a solid state joining process used for joining of different metals that provides similar welding properties as like parent metal properties. In this welding process no filler metal is required and thus it’s a emissions less process. In this experiment for the purpose to joining of pieces include the generation of heat with the help of friction. Due to this pressure with variable speeds the tool moves on the work piece for joining of two metals. The soft layer of materia...

The present research has been done to investigate the influence of different input process parameters on the desired response (flux consumption) in the submerged arc welding process. Fractional factorial technique has been used to design the experiment to reduce the number of runs. The effects of welding current, arc voltage, travel speed and nozzle to plate distance have been found on the flux consumption. The Design Expert software has been used to obtain relationship between the respons...

Designing in sand casting is a critical activity for manufacturing. Further, activities like cavity design, cavity layout and design of gating system are essential in design. Design of gating system in sand casting is dependent upon a various parameters. Gating system design requires lot of manual input and a number of iterations to finalize the design. This requires a good knowledge of casting process, making this activity completely dependent on the user. In present day industry, lot of ...

This research revolves around the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning in Indian industries. The ERP system stands for enterprise resource planning. It is fundamentally a data framework that joins distinctive subsystems into one framework. This operation is called integration. For example, an association has three fundamental data frameworks. The main framework handles HR; the second framework handles finance; and the third framework handles manufacturing. ERP integrate these three subsy...

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is very important and prominent machining processamong all the newly developed non -traditional machining techniques. This process isextremely useful for “difficult to machine” conducting materials such as heat treated toolsteels, composites, super alloys, heat resistant steels, ceramics, carbides, etc. In thistechnique i.e. in EDM, the material removal of the electrode is achieved through highfrequency sparks between th...

Green manufacturing eludes will multidisciplinary methodologies. Meant on decreasing the energy and material expectation in manufacturing procedures energy can make diminished dependent upon 60-70 percent with main utilization of renewable energy sources. Separated from the imaginative taking care of energy demands, the green manufacturing will be connected to many other environmental technologies. Green manufacturing includes conversion for industrial operation in the three ways; (a) util...

Various Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques in one book: 13 MCDM techniques have been applied, namely, WSM, WPM, WASPAS, GRA, SMART, CRITIC, ENTROPY, EDAS, MOORA, AHP, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and new tools: MDEMATEL, Fuzzy MDEMATEL, Modified Fuzzy TOPSIS and Modified Fuzzy VIKOR. To date, no other book possesses this many tools.Various quantitative techniques: Different quantitative techniques have been applied, namely, Cronbach alpha, Chi-square and ANOVA (for demographic a...

Designing a sustainable manufacturing system entail taking into account both financial and environmental restrictions. Business concerns about sustain strategies of commercial and environmental accounting are developing. Still here, different techniques of measure an association's or providing chain's total environmental impact, and there is currently no agreed-upon uniform standard. Energy use's environmental and climate implications are quickly becoming a major challenge for industry and...

Buying decision making is a complicated process, in which a consumer’s decision is under the influence of others. The buyer’s decision making is directed in such a way that they must act as a consumer in society. Media and family are key socializing agents for adolescents. Moreover, changes in the socio-cultural environment in India necessitate that adolescents’ influence in family’s buying decision making should be investigated. In comparison to Western society, Indian society is quite di...

Strategic success of industry depends upon manufacturing competencies (i.e., the competitive advantage to ensure better quality and reliability), which will increase sales and create a sound customer base. Competitive priorities are the operating advantages that are assessed, evaluated, and measured within the parameters of cost, quality, time, design, and flexibility. The book explains the manufacturing competencies upon which the strategic success of the automobile industry depends. The ...
