Development of New Product/Process Development Procedure for SMEsThe result of our research is a developed and implemented set of activities for new process or product development (NPD procedure) for SMEs environment in the plastic processing industry, which enables the production of products and services with a high value added.The developed NPD procedure consists of five consecutive and overlapping steps: attracting orders, designing a project, developing a product, developing a process and zero production series. Each distinct step is further divided into sub-activities supported by adequate methods and managed in an information system. Investigated and included were three different methodologies use for NPD procedure in the automotive industry such as Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and Stage/Gate methodology.The results presented in the paper show that the developed NPD procedure significantly improved NPD in terms of cost management and time-effectiveness.

Flexible Machines

Manufacturing processes based on cutting have been extensively automated over the past 30–40 years leading to greatly increased flexibility of operation. In contrast, processes based on ductile forming have largely remained dependent on fixed tooling and lack flexibility. Recent innovations have shown that forming can also be made flexible, by new process configurations typically using simpler and smaller tools with increased (and controllable) freedom of motion. In order to facilitate development of such flexible forming processes, this paper examines the possibility that all such processes can be predicted and organized so that subsequent process development may be based on selection rather than invention. The approach taken is based on Zwicky’s “morphological analysis,” in which the features of a design are parameterized and an exhaustive search is conducted, with appropriate constraints used to reject infeasible designs. As an example of this approach, the process of ring rolling is explored, and a “periodic table” of 102 “elemental” ring rolling machines is presented. The combination of elements into compounds is described, and the use of the table for development of practical flexible machines is discussed. Having applied this approach to the example of ring rolling, its likely value in exploring other processes is discussed.

Abstract This paper presents an innovative concept to run Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) and upper completion utilizing dual derrick drillship rigs in deep water wells. The availability of a second deck to assemble, test and rack long assemblies brings the possibility to conduct a safer, efficient and reliable operation. The experience in Brazil running complex completions and high horsepower ESPs shows how important is to implement initiatives to reduce rig time. The main objective of the new process is to have every completion tool readily available in the drilling deck, requiring minimum time to connect it to the completion string. In the standard process, the tool sits in the pipe deck until completion string reaches its set position and only then the equipment is brought into the rig floor to be serviced and made up to the completion string. The methodology to assemble ESP and completion tools offline in the auxiliary derrick was developed in partnership with the operator, the service company, and the drilling rig contractor. The offline preparation concept was considered as part of the completion design phase analyzing every step of the upper completion run, looking for efficiency improvement and reduced total rig time. The modern automated pipe handling system was used to manipulate the long and heavy assemblies from the auxiliary deck to the racking system and from the racking system to the main deck without any safety concern, and with minimal human intervention. Eight deep-water operations were completed in Brazil using the new concept and the results brought important rig time reduction in the upper completion running time. The tools that were part of the completion included DHSV, permanent downhole gauges, chemical injection valves, 1600 HP ESP system and tubing test valves. The new process allows the team to service equipment without the usual operation rush reducing installation related failure therefore increasing equipment reliability. The methodology presented on this paper contributes to oil industry as a field-proven reference for offshore ESP and completion deployment technique reducing HSE exposure and total well construction cost. This is particularly important for deep and ultra-deepwater projects which are associated with high intervention costs. Dual derrick rigs were designed with focus to improve drilling operations and after the new process development, the modern robotized machinery empowers ESP and completion activities with improved efficiencies.

The complexity of today’s commercial semiconductors has contributed to tremendous gains in device performance; millions of transistors are now packed into each square centimeter of silicon. The reduction of scale occurring within the semiconductor industry places extraordinary new demands on transmission electron microscopy: TEM is becoming a required precision measurement tool for manufacturing and a necessary analytical tool for R&D and failure analysis support. This paper reviews the industry’s needs for advanced TEM sample preparation, imaging and microanalysis and outlines the challenges presented to the TEM community as device dimensions continue along the National Technology Roadmap.In the semiconductor industry, TEM is applied to process debugging, yield engineering, tool qualifications, single-bit failure analyses, and new process development. A large fraction of the analysis effort focuses on transistor, metal, interconnect and dielectric structures grown on and into the Si wafer. Fig. 1 shows a TEM image of a multilayer metal in a near-current generation microprocessor to illustrate the scale and nature of complexity.

Real Time Location System

Determining the current position of objects in logistics processes (products, unit loads, forklifts, etc.) is the basis for new process development and optimization opportunities (e.g., development of storage strategy, forklift route planning, etc.) that significantly affect the competitiveness of companies. Background information systems that provide real-time data using localization, - or called RTLS (Real Time Location System),- are becoming more widespread. In the dissertation I summarize the operation, physical realization, conditions of use and advantages of a real-time technology that can be applied to a warehouse serving its production, as well as the steps of a possible implementation.

PurposeThe paper proposes customer involvement can be considered an organization-level construct of knowledge creation in the new process development. Specifically, the paper evaluates three distinct organizational practices as knowledge antecedents – competitor orientation, social network and internal coordination – that can facilitate the adoption of customer involvement in the process innovation development.Design/methodology/approachThe paper empirically tests this theory for 2,000 firms that are stratification sampled from a population of 33,844 Taiwanese firms, and a data set of 170 valid questionnaires is collected. The questionnaire was mainly modified from a Kim and Kim (2010) measure which was designed based on the 3rd edition of the Oslo Manual OECD/Eurostat 2005. The concept of customer involvement in new service development proposed by Alam (2002) was also applied to the questionnaire.Findings(1) The antecedents of customer involvement, which include competitor orientation, external social networks and internal coordination, function as a determinant to nourish customer involvement. (2) Customer involvement significantly positively mediates the relationship between knowledge antecedents and new process performance. (3) Customer involvement is a crucial knowledge creation for improving the new process innovation performance in manufacturing firms.Originality/valueTwo basic tenets of theory building serve as the foundation of the model in this paper. First, research on customer involvement is augmented by showing that customer involvement can emerge as a shared perception among organizational members that is distinct from individual-level involvement. Moreover, customer involvement in process innovation can help firms manage their knowledge and further enhance firm performance. Second, the knowledge management model provides a key lens through which researchers can take a process-oriented view that focuses on customer involvement as a unique capability that firms can develop in process innovation.
