Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the operations of the supply chain with the purpose to satisfy customer requirements as efficiently as possible. Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption. The term supply chain management was coined by strategy consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton in 1982. |

Encoders Go Barrier-less In Hazardous Locations |
|
|
In most drilling applications encoders are used to provide position and speed feedback for proper control of equipment like top drives and pipe racking systems. However, these electronic devices require special attention when used in hazardous environments such as a drilling platform. In this paper, we discuss ways to make encoders suitable for hazardous duty.

Online Fault Analysis Of DC Motors |
|
|
Over the past 20 years, Current Signature Analysis (CSA) has become an established tool for online fault analysis of AC Induction motors. Presently, very little research has been performed using current signature analysis on DC motors. This paper is a brief introduction to online fault diagnosis of DC motors using current signature analysis.

Production Logistics Tools To Improve Productivity In The FMCG Industry |
| By : FlexLink |
Published Date: Sep 24, 2007 |
|
The FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) industry is extremely competitive. Consumers have high demands on price and quality, and are increasingly disloyal to brands, quickly choosing a different product if the other offer appears better. Manufacturers must adapt and be able to produce products in smaller batch sizes to win the battle on the shelf.

The OEE Deficit: Why It Can't Deliver The Results You Require |
|
|
For complex manufacturing environments, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) falls short when it comes to delivering improvements in productivity. That's because OEE tools were originally developed to measure the performance of stand-alone equipment or the total output of a particular line. Today's enterprises need more. This paper describes an evolution in thinking: focusing on product flow through the process.

The Intelligent Edge: Work-In-Process Visibility |
|
|
Real-time, visibility on materials, process, or machine interactions can be leveraged to fix real-time production problems by quickly identifying the source, enable product recalls, or validate the end product for customers. A contact-less solution based on RFID, Wi-Fi and sensor technologies will accomplish all this without impacting the manufacturing process.

Direct Digital Manufacturing: Impact and Opportunity, Part 2—Freedom Of Design |
|
|
Adhering to the constraints and limiting design freedoms are necessary for conventional manufacturing processes. Rapid manufacturing eliminates all of the design constraints imposed by conventional manufacturing methods. It offers designers and engineers an unprecedented freedom to design a product and its components exclusively for the desired form, fit and function.

Bridge to production is not a technology. It is a method, tactic and strategy to overcome the time delay between the present and the anticipated date for receipt of tools or parts. Manufacturers of high-volume products frequently find themselves needing rapid delivery of a small quantity of production-grade components. Without them, manufacturing comes to a grinding halt.
