description: Fuel cells are a viable option for clean transportation, particularly for heavy-duty vehicles. As a result of this trend, significant scaling of production volumes is emerging in recent industrial announcements, which also correlates with an increasing degree of automation. However, the latter requires an adaptation of the product design of the fuel cell, which is currently designed for manual production processes and therefore for small production volumes. Furthermore, product design is strongly determined by performance and cost requirements, so production-related requirements tend to receive less attention. The described situation leads to a conflict: on the one hand, the requirements of mass production are unclear, but on the other hand, these requirements are necessary to design the product specifically for mass production. This paper aims to examine the described conflict focusing on the entire product life cycle of the fuel cell from product development to the production ramp-up. Therefore, an expert survey with 65 participants from the industry was performed and the key results are presented. Based on these results, central requirements are derived for a methodological framework to address the above-mentioned challenges. The overall aim of the proposed framework is to integrate manufacturing requirements into product development at an early stage to realize an increasing overlap between product and process development. Finally, a literature review focussing on product and process development is conducted and the identified methodologies are evaluated against the defined requirements. Based upon the identified gaps in scientific theory, a four-stage methodological framework is proposed to address the described conflict at the requirements level.

description: By adopting the New Circular Action Plan (European Commission, 2020), the EU set the policy framework for the shift from our linear to a Circular Economy as a new sustainable socio-economic model of production and consumption. The circular transition affects production processes and value chains in urban areas where major flows of goods are created. While there is a large body of literature on Circular Supply Chain Management (CSCM) in specific sectors and on product (micro) and factory (meso) levels, there is a lack of consideration of urban sustainable circular models and their local embedding from a holistic planning perspective. This paper examines how the Circular Economy concept affects forward and reverse intermodal supply chains in an urban environment on a macro level and explores the role of new local manufacturing systems like urban microfactories and makerspaces. An integrative literature review is used to synthesize and analyze existing research concepts on urban circularity and sustainability from logistics engineering, spatial and social sciences to point out joint fields of action and identify future research areas of collaboration. Based on these insights, the importance of local manufacturing is highlighted and it is argued that one approach to increasing the resilience of urban supply is promoting local production at the point of need. Using a flowchart of the circular supply chain supplemented by an urban system perspective, it is shown how urban microfactories can take over locally restorative and regenerative value creation processes.

description: Traditional production scheduling and resource allocation methods often struggle to adapt to changing conditions in manufacturing environments. To address this challenge, this study leverages an adaptive control system integrated with a Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) alongside a particle swarm optimization algorithm to enable real-time production scheduling and allocation of resources. The system continuously learns from generated production data and adjusts production schedules with resource allocations based on evolving conditions such as demand fluctuations and resource availability. By harnessing the capabilities of Deep Reinforcement learning, the proposed approach of applying the DDPG algorithm to simulate the environment improves production efficiency, minimizes delays, and optimizes resource utilization. Through conducted experiments, the effectiveness of the DDPG-Particle Swarm Optimization technique (DRPO) was demonstrated in enhancing dynamic production scheduling and resource allocation in simulated manufacturing settings. This study presents a significant step towards intelligent, self-improving production control systems that can navigate complex and dynamic manufacturing environments.

description: This paper investigates and analyses sustainable value chains in the nickel production. Nickel is crucial for the global transition to renewable energy sources as battery-grade nickel contributes to the development and scalability of the electric vehicle (EV) industry. At the same time, the nickel industry faces several significant environmental and social challenges, such as inefficiency in resource use including overconsumption of energy and water, and minimal community engagement. These challenges must be urgently addressed to achieve sustainable solutions, particularly as the EV industry and other battery users grow to meet global demand. In this paper, we investigate how the mitigation of these adverse environmental and social impacts was discussed in the literature.

description: As recent regional conflicts and the Covid pandemic have shown, global supply chain disruptions can destabilize even the most developed economies. Added to this is the ever-growing need for comprehensive closed-loop, multi-life cycle based sustainable manufacturing practices, which encompass the entire supply chain across the product, process, and system levels. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in recent times have unlocked powerful new tools which offer potential solutions for these challenges, allowing for enhanced supply chain resilience and flexibility, while providing new pathways for increased product and process sustainability. However, metallurgical bonding and layer building in conventional fusion-based AM technologies rely upon high powered energy sources, which significantly increase the ecological impact of these processes. Solid-state additive manufacturing is an emerging AM modality in which deposition occurs at elevated temperatures below the material’s melting point, allowing for reduced energy environmentally friendly processing routes. Solid-State additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) is unique in its ability to facilitate multiple life cycles through leveraging of manufacturing waste directly as feedstock, thus giving new life to material that would otherwise be recycled or discarded as waste. This paper will introduce AFSD through the prism of upcycled aluminium waste, examine its supply chain influence using a standardized framework, and assess the sustainability and circular economy benefits of AFSD in comparison to conventional fusion-based AM and traditional recycling technologies. This analysis reveals that utilization of AFSD can substantially transform existing supply chains, especially in the domain of large-scale rapid component manufacturing, while providing increased sustainability at all levels of the supply chain.

description: In this research, a nanocomposite called AAZG-NCPs was synthesized and analyzed. The nanocomposite showed a surface area of 10.57 ± 0.31 m2/g, a pore size of 0.07299 ± 0.002 cm3/g, and ferromagnetic properties with a magnetization of 3.9 ± 0.12 emu/g. Its band gap energy was found to be 2 ± 0.1 eV. The surface charge of the synthesized AAZG-NCPs was determined to be −29 ± 0.6 mV. A pHZPC value of 6.6 ± 0.04 was calculated using the salt addition method. The photocatalytic activity and optimization of the Crystal violet (CV) photodegradation process using synthesized AAZG-NCPs was investigated using Box Behnken design and Design Expert software. A polynomial equation was obtained for the experimental data, with a calculated R2, Adj-R2, and Pred-R2 values in the model were 0.998, 0.9977, and 0.9947 respectively, indicating a strong proportion between the model fitting and experimental data. The photocatalytic degradation of CV achieved a maximum efficiency of 98.7 ± 1% under optimum conditions at pH = 9, CV concentration of 5.7 mg/L, AAZG-NCPs amount of 0.075 g/L, and temperature of 40 °C under visible light. The kinetics study indicated a pseudo-first-order kinetics model with a rate constant of 0.0441 ± 0.002 min−1. A novel magnetic photocatalyst Ag2CrO4/Ag/ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4 was used for Crystal Violet dye degradation under Visible light. The degradation of Crystal Violet dye (5.7 mg/L) is quasi-total after 90 minute. The Box-Behnken design was used for optimization of the process. Crystal Violet dye degradation obeys a pseudo-first-order kinetics.

description: In this contribution, a case study of a German machine and tool manufacturer is presented, depicting the new requirements placed on manufacturing and assembly planners by disruptive product-related innovations. The case study initially outlines the current state of tasks ahead of the introduction of disruptive products, demonstrates how the new requirements were systematically identified, and illustrates how the new job role was shaped in terms of tasks and competences. This was done, in particular, by addressing the novel demands related to electronics, sensors, AI, software solutions, and associated planning aspects throughout the product development, line and workplace planning, series planning, and even in new concepts for the overhaul of products. Thus, the contribution shows on the example of the manufacturing and assembly planners, how job roles transform under challenging conditions and how this can be systematically identified and made usable for competence development.

description: 5G continues to develop as a key technology for digital transformation in production. This wireless, fast and secure transmission technology with long range, low latency and the ability to connect a large number of devices will enable companies to gradually overcome the hurdles of the fully connected enterprise of the future. At the same time, as a new and innovative technology, 5G still presents companies with a number of challenges. In particular, the issue of non-transparent cost calculation is still causing uncertainty for companies, especially in the decision-making process. The uncertainty of companies regarding the cost factors of private 5G-campus networks results from limited experience. The lack of knowledge about aspects such as license fees, hardware costs and maintenance expenses make budgeting difficult. A systematic analysis is necessary to make informed decisions and maximize the benefits of 5G technologies. This article presents an overview of the cost factors of private 5G campus networks, including the implementation phases and the stakeholders involved, through case study research. Furthermore, in addition to identifying the specific characteristics of the 5G-cost factors and implementation phases and stakeholders, the dependencies between these are also evaluated. The aim is to verify the identified 5G-cost factors so that a precise and transparent calculation is possible and well-founded decisions can be made regarding the implementation and use of 5G-technologies.

description: Monitoring and predicting consumption data is important for sustainable logistics and production management. We present an automated script, which controls the meter readings for electricity, water, heat and cold at TU Dortmund University, Germany. The script combines historic and current consumption data and calculates individual forecasts for every meter. These one-step-ahead forecasts are compared with true values afterwards to identify deviation from the regular energy consumption or anomalies. The script also detects missing values, which indicate that the meter is not working correctly, or the connection is lost and some other special cases. The goal of our script is to detect errors in the meter system automatically and faster than by hand. We compare the daily values with our forecasts to identify anomalies, i.e. meters with high electricity, water, heat or cold consumption. This will help to reduce the workload for the facility management and the waste of energy and thus makes the university more sustainable and efficient. To this end, we compared multiple methods with respect to forecast accuracy and computing effort: a basic Linear Model, Generalized Additive Model with spline based smoothing, SARIMA model with a seasonal period of seven, Holt-Winters additive-seasonal model, Regression with SARIMA errors (SARIMAX), and Random Forest. Holt-Winters and SARIMAX turned out to be the ‘best’ models and were implemented. In addition to monitoring and prediction, we thereby also identify important features effecting the consumption.
Generalized Block Diagram of the Eastern Pennyroyal Karst
Creators: name: Currens, James C.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky
Year: 2001

description: Abstract:
Karst occurs where limestone or other soluble bedrock is near the earth's surface, and fractures in the rock become enlarged when the rock dissolves. Sinkholes and sinking streams are two surface features that indicate karst development. In karst areas most rainfall sinks underground, resulting in fewer streams flowing on the surface than in non-caves, sometimes reemerging at karst windows, then sinks again to eventually discharge at a base-level spring along a major stream or at the top of an impermeable strata. The development of karst features is influenced by the type of soluble rock and how it has been broken or folded by geologic forces. There are four major karst regions in Kentucky: the Inner Bluegrass, Western Pennyroyal, Eastern Pennyroyal, and Pine Mountain. This diagram depicts the Eastern Pennyroyal karst.

description: During the production of a small to medium-sized aircraft, approximately 250,000 rivet holes are required. These must be manufactured according to strict aviation specific technical, quality, and safety standards. High-quality cemented carbide (WC-Co) drilling tools are used to ensure the necessary precision and durability. However, the high energy requirement for production, especially for sintering the WC-Co blanks, and grinding the final tool geometry negatively impacts the carbon footprint of aircraft production. This study aims to analyse the environmental impact of each step in the WC-Co tool production chain and proposes innovative methods to upcycle worn tools without the need of conventional recycling processes. To reduce the climate impact, a novel smart digital tool management system is introduced containing digital twins of the individual tools. This system is complemented with three new methods of upcycling WC-Co drilling tools: regrinding worn tools to smaller diameters, applying a PVD-coating to compensate for diameter deviations, and de- and recoating diamond coatings on WC-Co tools. Preliminary results in modelling the climate impact show that these strategies can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 53 %.

‘Not Britain’s Cause Alone’: The Commonwealth, Britain, and the Falklands Crisis, 1982–1989
Creators: name: Bagnall, John
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2018

description: The British Government was plunged into crisis on the 2 April 1982 after Argentina launched an invasion of the Falkland Islands. The sovereignty of the islands had long been disputed as an issue of decolonisation and the Argentine seizure of the land forced the question to be addressed by the international political community. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the ensuing dispute was the ardent support the Commonwealth nations offered to Britain in the face of this aggression, earning the gratitude of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Many expected the Commonwealth to condemn the British use of force to settle the dispute given their previous colonial status. On the contrary, however, many were quick to show their disdain for the Argentine actions and offered practical support to the UK government in their attempts to recover the islands. This paper exploits newly released material available through the National Archives to examine the nature of this support and its effect on the Falklands Crisis throughout the Thatcher Premiership. The thirty year anniversary of the conflict in 2012 combined with the adoption of the new Public Records Act (2013) has led to a large amount of source material becoming available that had previously been unavailable for public viewing. The study evaluates both the practical reasons for the support as well as the importance of personal relationships between government ministers to uncover a new aspect of this important period in contemporary British history.

description: Value stream analysis and design is considered as a central element of lean management, globally utilized by improvement teams within industrial contexts to maximize value creation and eliminate waste. The advancement of value stream analysis and design, including material flow cost accounting, information logistics, and external factors, is shifting how improvement teams operate due to growing complexity and data volumes. Required novel workflows pull the need for digital solutions that empower improvement teams. While existing research primarily focuses on conceptualizations of solutions, there has been no derivation of real-world requirements from an enterprise perspective. To address this research gap, this paper adapts a mixed methods approach with exploratory sequential design. Initially, a qualitative interview series with nine lean management experts from different industry-related enterprises in Germany was conducted. Over 250 transcribed minutes of interviews were evaluated qualitatively and structurally. Subsequently, identified enterprise requirements were quantitatively instigated functional and dysfunctional utilizing a kano questionnaire; answered by 33 German participants with lean management background. Contributing findings of this paper are 15 enterprise requirements for digital solution development, alongside a more detailed analysis of these requirements based on their ability to systematically satisfy customer needs and mitigate dissatisfaction.

description: Process mining (PM) is a novel technique that allows to derive insights about business processes based on data already available in today’s information systems. PM offers a wide variety of possibilities, such as as is process discovery, or the automatic comparison of as-is and to-be processes. Especially in manufacturing, the individuality of manufacturing processes further prevents the identification of possible usages. However, for the success of PM it is essential to work on the right use cases. While numerous solutions on the detailing and assessment of PM use cases have been defined, none deals with the structured identification of possible use cases. In this paper, we develop a method to systematically identify PM use cases in manufacturing organizations in collaboration with two-real world organizations. We apply the final method to one organization. The method is two-fold: first, we present a workshop method that guides practitioners through the ideation and concretization of PM use cases. We show that manufacturing organizations are best off by posing questions about their process. Consequently, our second contribution is a template of possible questions to answer, drawing from typical process improvement initiatives in manufacturing, such as lean management. Our contribution especially helps organizations with little experience in PM, and can serve as good workshop concept for kicking off new PM initiatives.

description: Eucalyptus wood has uneven density and poor permeability, which can lead to defects such as wrinkling and cracking during the drying process, limiting applications. Freezing and freeze–thaw treatments can improve wood permeability by disrupting its microstructure, thus enhancing drying quality. In this experiment, Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis was subjected to cold trap freezing (CF), refrigerator freezing (RF), cold trap freeze–thaw (CFT), and refrigerator freeze–thaw (RFT) pretreatments. The pretreated materials were then dried and tested to investigate properties such as permeability, moisture absorption, shrinkage, and drying characteristics. The results indicated that the moisture content (MC) during pre-freezing, with lower freezing temperatures leading to greater reductions in MC. The water absorption rates for the CF, RF, CFT, and RFT pretreated wood increased by 16%, 7%, 16%, and 14%, respectively, showing significant improvement in permeability, which in turn resulted in increased drying rates of 24%, 11%, 26%, and 13%, respectively, when the MC exceeded the fiber saturation point (FSP). The shrinkage ratios were reduced by 8%, 2%, 4%, and 8%, respectively, but increased the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) by 5% for all groups. Overall, the improvement in drying rate from freeze–thaw treatment was greater than that from freezing treatment.

description: There is a shift from mechanical to mechatronic or cyber-physical products. Product development is also facing shorter product life cycles. The development of mechatronic or cyber-physical products requires interdisciplinary systems engineering that enables the integration of product development and production system development. At the same time, interdisciplinary engineering offers the opportunity to parallelise product development and thus shorten development times. Numerous approaches have been developed for the integrative cooperation of product development and production system development. However, these approaches have not yet been put into practice in the industry. There are several challenges between the disciplines that hinder the implementation of integrative development. For example, synchronisation of tools and data between the two domains is a key challenge. Identifying the interfaces between the development cycles is also an obstacle to the implementation of integrative planning. In addition, the models to be transferred need to be defined. An analysis of the interfaces between product development and production system development is not yet available in the existing literature. Therefore, this paper analyses which interfaces and models exist in the integrative development between product development and production system development on the basis of a literature review. A total of 67 interfaces and models were identified that enable interdisciplinary collaboration in the context of systems engineering.

description: This paper presents a novel proposal, the funnel theorem, which offers a comprehensive analysis of manufacturing processes. It integrates supplier data, management of raw materials in transit, internal materials management, process quality, and workmanship. This unique approach provides a fresh perspective on productivity in manufacturing. When analyzing transit time, from when the customer places their purchase order until they receive their finished product, a series of events occur that are only sometimes well controlled in manufacturing. The organization's systemic vision, added to the growing use of tools based on ERP concepts, visualizes the impact of these variables on delivery times. Added to this analysis is the variable called priority of purchase orders, which affects how the raw material is assigned to the orders that are formed according to said priority to form, in turn, production orders. The culmination of this research is the development of a practical algorithm, TWCD (Two-way commitment date). This algorithm enables the calculation of optimal raw material quantities based on the plant's productivity and the order's priority. Its application can significantly improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes, leading to reduced order cycle times and increased operational excellence.

description: Production planning and scheduling are challenging with recent disruptions in the supply chain and increased demand for reduced lead times. With an increased demand for production and ever-changing delivery dates of raw materials, a dynamic production planning model with machine-operator-part-specific historical data is essential for small and medium-scale manufacturers. Based on the sales orders and inventory, machine production rates, and work-in-process information, Little’s law estimates the initial lead time. To improve the accuracy of the lead time, a Monte Carlo simulation based on the historical data of the machine-operator-part production rate is used along with the queuing principles and theory of constraints. The theory of constraints is used to facilitate issues such as preventive maintenance, unscheduled machine breakdown, etc. The dynamic nature of the shop floor issues is used to update the Monte Carlo simulations to improve the process flow and the lead time estimation. This model was implemented as a case study at a cutting tool manufacturing plant to reduce lead time and increase customer satisfaction. Finally, the paper reports the case study's findings to estimate the lead time effectively and facilitate the production planning and scheduling process.
