Concurrent engineering (CE) aims to provide a collaborative environment in which all involved parties work simultaneously to optimize resources. However, some aspects can make it hard to implement in organizations. This study presents the development of a CE model and its implementation in a Mexican textile maquiladora. The information about the process was obtained using administrative and quality tools (brainstorming, Pareto and Ishikawa charts, flowcharts, spreadsheets). A CE model based on the management of new products was designed, in consideration of the enterprise culture. The workgroup evaluated the proposed model in two projects to verify the functionality. The time for the development and approval of prototypes was reduced from three months to one. Now the process has a robust design, having identified design problems, potential operator errors, and bottlenecks. Losses from raw material replacements and reworks decreased by 39.4%, and there was an additional cost saving of 22.86%. CE implementation is not easy; the firsts steps are to change the organizational culture and the training of employees to work collaboratively.

This paper focuses on the use of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje in Serbian (VIKOR) to select an optimum maintenance strategy for a textile industry. In the proposed methodology, first the weight of each criterion is calculated by using improved AHP with fuzzy set theory to overcome the problems of unbalanced scale of judgments, uncertainty and imprecision in the pair-wise comparison process and then the VIKOR method is applied to compensate the imprecise ranking of the AHP in the selection of maintenance strategy. The real case study is conducted for a textile industry to illustrate the utilization of the proposed model for the maintenance strategy selection problem. Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is applied to make sure that the result of the proposed model can be acceptable. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted to show the validity of the proposed model. The paper gives an insight into multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques to select an optimum maintenance strategy for a process industry using a case study.

Thanks to the strategic priorities of the current federal administration, discussions about green management are a popular trend in the business community. Increasing efficiency, limiting energy consumption, and reducing waste internally as well as along the supply chain has been one way that managers have addressed “going green.” Some examples include front-to-back printing and stringent recycling efforts. For the lumber industry, going green is not as easy as changing how employees print or recycle plastic bottles, especially since one of the main resources in the lumber industry is wood. In this regard, the authors discuss a proposed supply chain model to reduce intra-process shipments, improve raw material acquisition and usage, and improve production yields through repurposing of the wood by-product created during the manufacture of reclaimed, wood-based products. The proposed model also suggests that entrepreneurial efforts could lead the way in innovating how wood by-products can be used to create disruptive methods that could lead to new wood based businesses.

Quality is free when reaches zero defects, quality is measured various aspects. The rework is carried out when the product finish not up to the standard, which added additional expenditure. On other side if there is no chance for rework the cost of raw material and value added cost up to that non conformity is lost. This work shares a success story and reveals a systematic scientific approach to reach zero defects. The case study conducted in the leading supplier who focuses on climate and energy efficient solutions. The traditional powerful quality tools employed to focus, understanding and analyse the problem. The Decision support system preferred and adopted to solve the problem with affordable cost. The outcomes of this work measured in terms of modern Total Productive Maintenance style that is in terms of Productivity, Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety, Motivation and Morale (PQCDSM). The results in all the way found more significant.

With the increasing of digitization and massive adoption of advanced technologies in the various industries such as automotive, food, electronic goods etc. not only transform the equipment manufacturer’s operating mode, but also changing the business models. In particular textile industry, the raw materials are collected from different other industries, end products are manufactured, distributed and sold globally. Supply chain and logistics, in particular, are considered as fertile ground for a blockchain implementation due to the several parties involved in the logistic processes and the lack of trust that usually characterize the industry. In this paper, we addressed the automatic textile industry supply chain as case study, in which we present a non – destructive way of ensuring the traceability of different operational modes of supply chain. We have implemented automatic block chain-based framework, which helps track and trace every mode of operation in supply chain. The proposed framework is simulated in Ethereum platform and the result shows the proof – of – concept of proposed model that can be used for wide range of future smart applications.

Multicriteria Methodology

Due to the increasing pressure for companies to become more accountable and transparent regarding their actions, the stakeholders have been provided with information beyond the scope of company's financial performance including evidence of good corporate governance, source of raw material, the manufacturing process, and life cycle of the products. Business leaders have recognized the need to respond to these pressures by conducting operations focusing on the business success and meeting stakeholders' demands. Accordingly, in this study, a model for assessment of corporate sustainability was constructed considering the company's need to seek business longevity. Therefore, a case study was carried out in a medium sized textile industry in Paraná state adopting the Multicriteria Methodology for Decision Aid - Constructivist as the intervention tool. This methodology was chosen because it makes it possible to identify a set of performance indicators that characterize the company sustainability and to measure the organization properties and its commitment to sustainability, both individually and globally. The model identified that the company's strategy should include all the criteria of the economic, social, and environmental areas demonstrating that the differences between the replacement rates are strictly small. Furthermore, the model revealed that the actions of communication with the stakeholders are of great importance and that a lot of effort is needed in terms of awareness of employees, suppliers, customers, consumers, and the community of sustainability issues.

Important Basis

This paper presents a model for integrated product and process modeling. The aim is to investigate how product and process related information could be structured and managed in order to bridge the gap between the product and the process. Integrated product and process modeling is an important basis for concurrent engineering, as it provides a shared representation of the evolving design. First, an introduction to product modeling is discussed. Then, the proposed model, theoretically based on chromosome model, is presented. Second, process modeling is discussed, and more common tools/methods for process modeling are presented. Third, and finally, an industrial case study is presented, where the proposed model has been applied and evaluated in commercial software.
