Traditionally, product deletion is a reactive decision driven by low sales volume and profit margin. However, the complexities involved in product management and consumer behavior volatilities make it necessary to account for a broad range of financial and non-financial factors. Besides, proactive product deletion may be required for a company to reduce the risk of draining resources, adjust to the ...

Legislative pressures and public awareness are urging companies to foster sustainability innovations that improve business operations. Limited studies explored the underpinnings of the economic dimension of sustainability innovations; studying economic innovation criteria in the manufacturing sector of emerging economies can inform other industries while recession fears loom the financial prospects. ...

In this thesis “Design of pipeline flexibility bench” an exertion has been made to make a conclusive study of fluid flow through pipe. Analysis has been carried out using analytical and numerical approach, where advance computer aided engineering tools such as CFD & FEM approach is used to study the flow behavior in different pipe configurations. Results show a significant change in wall shear stress ...

Our world is continuously developing by new generation of engineers, artists, politicians, travelers and this list can be continued. They will research, improve and design new reality for the future. One of our missions is to help them by bringing better understanding of existing technologies. This is the goal of my thesis: to create an experimental loop to demonstrate pigging activity in the ...

TARGET is a collaborative project involving a partnership of universities and institutes of higher education in UK, Ireland, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The project will develop tools to enhance capacity in regional manufacturing companies to adapt and embrace new technologies and innovation. This is to be done in collaboration with small/medium sized manufacturing engineering companies - developing, ...

Designing for downhole environment is a challenging process. High pressure and temperature are the main well conditions that effect the design decisions and the tool geometry. Also, the well fluids can obtain high concentration of corrosive content such H2S acid that plays major role in material selection. The intention of this study is to develop Downhole Control Valve that can be connected to ...

The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) and digitalization in the Industry 5.0 era have opened up new opportunities for reverse logistics management to become digitalized, smarter, more sustainable, and simplified by incorporating disruptive technologies, e.g., Internet-of-things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analysis, simulation, blockchain, etc. ...

A digital twin is a new and emerging tool of the fourth industrial revolution. It is an extensive part of connecting the manufacturing equipment together to develop a smart factory. Investigation of simulating manufacturing system to bind the digital world with the physical, allows for analysis of data and monitoring of systems to head off problems before they even occur, preventing downtime, develop ...

With growing concerns about the depletion of rare-earth elements, managing End-of-Life products has become a key sustainability initiative in the supply chains of global corporations. Recycling, the process of dismantling, separating, and recovery of components and raw materials from wastes, is technologically challenging and should be planned in such a way as to ensure operational efficiency ...

A detailed parametric analytical study along with a series of viscid multiphase numerical simulations of ice accretion were performed in comparison with experimental data of ice accretion on a 30 mm diameter cylinder. The study was performed for droplet distribution spectra, Langmuir (A-J), in addition to an experimental droplet distribution obtained in an icing tunnel.<br>Analysis shows that droplet ...
