Industry Needs

In a research cycle, researchers need to publish their work and readers expect reliable arguments and information. Seeing society and industry needs relate to mechanical engineering for now and in the future, Mechanical Engineering for Society and Industry (MESI) is an important journal to discuss problems and solutions in mechanical engineering practice. The articles in this journal are a representation of scientific editors and advisory boards' dedication, reviewers' contributions in improving articles quality, and authors contributions in providing standardized articles. Hopefully, this journal can be a source of new insights and inspiration for further research, as well as a new reference for society and industry to solve their problems.

Platform Economy

AbstractHardly any other area has as much disruptive potential as digital platforms in the course of digitalization. After serious changes have already taken place in the B2C sector with platforms such as Amazon and Airbnb, the B2B sector is on the threshold to the so-called platform economy. In mechanical engineering, pioneers like GE (PREDIX) and Claas (365FarmNet) are trying to get their hands on the act. This is hardly a promising option for small and medium-sized companies, as only a few large companies will survive. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are already facing the threat of losing direct consumer contact and becoming exchangeable executers. In order to prevent this, it is important to anticipate at an early stage which strategic options exist for the future platform economy and which adjustments to the product program should already be initiated today. Basically, medium-sized companies in particular lack a strategy for an advantageous entry into the future platform economy.The paper presents different approaches to master the challenges of participating in the platform economy by using platform patterns. Platform patterns represent proven principles of already existing platforms. We show how we derived a catalogue with 37 identified platform patterns. The catalogue has a generic design and can be customized for a specific use case. The versatility of the catalogue is underlined by three possible applications: (1) platform ideation, (2) platform development, and (3) platform characterization.

Industry Needs

Arguably, data analytics is the “hot topic” for both accounting programs and Colleges of Business. Firms and advisory boards are requesting increased incorporation of data analytics into accounting programs. Furthermore, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International Standard A5 requires accounting programs to focus on agility and adaptability when incorporating data analytics into the accounting program. In this paper, we propose a framework for balancing industry needs and Standard A5 that incorporates accounting-specific data analytics and satisfies existing course learning objectives. This framework was developed through the creation of a stand-alone Data Analytics in Accounting course. Our framework emphasizes students moving from more structured manual calculations to less structured analysis using Excel, and then to more unstructured analysis using specialized accounting-specific data analytics software. Additionally, we provide specific examples of how this framework can be applied to multiple accounting courses.

Cutting Processes

Nowadays parts made of up-to-date engineering plastics are used more and morein mechanical engineering practice. These machine-elements are produced most frequentlyby injection molding or by one cutting process. The injection molding technology are usedgenerally for great number of pieces, in case of serial production while cutting processes arepreferred to piece (unit) or smaller number production.We used lathe and measured the main- and feeding-directional cutting force at differentengineering polymers (cast PA6, POM C and UHMW PE HD 1000). The analysis made canbe well used in practice.

Logistics Quality

Abstract This paper demonstrates the advantages of logistics studies which include detailed transportation simulations based on mechanical engineering principles. Complex transportation system parameters are often averaged, aggregated, or assumed, resulting in models with questionable validity. Detailed simulations of route-specific real-world vehicle performance for analysis systems (such as Transport Probability Analysis) can often provide more accurate predictors of logistics system performance, resulting in valid projections of system transport times, costs, inventory levels, energy usage, standards, and quality control measures. A discussion of logistics is followed by examples of progressively complex logistics transportation simulations and models. Results of a moderately detailed performance-based simulation of high speed trains for the Texas Triangle are used to demonstrate the fallacy of assuming “average” performance measures. Future logistics studies will require detailed vehicle performance simulations using sound mechanical engineering practice, requiring interdisciplinary teams which include mechanical engineers.

In the paper a possibility of drones application in length and angle metrology was discussed. Some basic issues of metrology in mechanical engineering scale was presented. The use of drones for micro, meso and macro scale was briefly described. Different options and configurations were shown, including benefits and possible problems. Uncertainty issues were also discussed. From that point of view the future of drones in metrology looks bright, as it is also in other areas of human life. Due to rising labor costs, replacing a human being by a system solution is very desirable.

The Ideal

The labor market as a whole and specifically those areas where human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) professionals are employed are in constant flux. Academic institutions, on the other hand, tend to be more stable with changes in programs happening much more slowly. There is some evidence that the education of new HF/E professionals falls short of meeting the knowledge and skills that human factors professionals face when they enter the workplace. This panel is convened to discuss and debate two questions: (1) What would the “ideal” education look like for the future HF/E professional, and (2) what would be the best way to deliver this ideal education. Moreover, we hope that this panel will bring together educators and employers of future HF/E professionals and foster a lively and productive exchange of ideas on how to best supply the future workforce with the evolving industry needs. It should be noted, however, that these are very difficult questions and that the panel is by no means unanimous about answers to them. Whether the ideal solution might involve undergraduate programs dedicated to human factors, survey courses offered to many different majors, or revision of existing graduate programs in response to knowledge and skills expectations in the industry is open to debate. It is just such a debate we hope to engage in within this panel, and with the members of our audience at the 2016 HFES Annual Meeting.
