Digital Performance Management: An Evaluation Of Manufacturing Performance Management Andmeasurement Strategies In An Industry 4.0 Context, Nathaniel David Smith
Theses and Dissertations
Manufacturing management and operations place heavy emphasis on monitoring and improving production performance. This supervision is accomplished through strategies of manufacturing performance management, a set of measurements and methods used to monitor production conditions. Over the last thirty years the most prevalent measurement of traditional performance management has been overall equipment effectiveness, a percentile summary metric of a machine's utilization. The technologies encapsulated by Industry 4.0 have expanded the ability to gather, process, and store vast quantities of data, creating opportunity to innovate on how performance is measured. A new method of managing manufacturing performance utilizing Industry 4.0 technologies has …

Assessment Of Defect Generation Mechanism In Welding Processes Using Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (Paut), Caleb D. Williams
Honors College Theses
Welding is one of the major and most commonly used methods of material joining in industries around the world. The mechanisms of welding include complicated processes which can cause significant alteration in final properties and quality of the weld compared to the base materials. Due to these physical and chemical processes during the welding processes, defects and flaws can be generated. Observing such flaws over the years, leads engineers and researchers to investigate the methodologies to identify the cause and effect of defects and their effect on the quality of the welds. A better understanding of such parameters helps to …
