Systematic Parameter Analysis For Selective Laser Melting (Slm) Of Silver-Based Materials., Harald Rieper
Systematic Parameter Analysis For Selective Laser Melting (Slm) Of Silver-Based Materials., Harald Rieper
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a growing technology for the additive manufacturing of parts and structures. Based on a powder layer technique, a laser locally melts the powder and forms new structures. [1] In this approach, silver-based alloy powders will be used. The processing of this kind of material is considered difficult compared to other powder materials such as mild steels or tool steels. Silver powder is a highly reflecting material and has excellent thermal conductivity. Both properties make it difficult to process using Selective Laser Melting. Due to its high price, industries use silver parts as economically as possible …

Linking Corporate Strategy To Operations : A Critical Review Of Prof. Kaplan’S Theories And The Development Of A Best-Practice Approach., Alexander Bogner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The rising speed of change in global frameworks drives international companies into a non-stop changing organization with the need of generating optimal revenues under changing conditions. Regarding to the need to be a flexible and competitive organization the value of a vision and a perfectly streamed strategy to this vision becomes a main success factor for global business. The trend for the need of development of a clear and constant strategy is equally rising with the trend of globalization and intercontinental business companies and therefor the business of strategy consulting rises constantly from the late 1990. Most of the strategy …
The Assignment Problem With Dependent Costs., Ghazal Tariri
The Assignment Problem With Dependent Costs., Ghazal Tariri
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Assigning workers, each with their own skill set, to tasks which demand different skills in an efficient manner is a challenging problem that often requires workers to receive additional training. The training of workers is very costly with Training Magazine’s Annual Industry Report stating 58.5 billion dollars were spent in 2007 on employee training in the United States. Therefore assigning workers to tasks in such a way as to minimize the overall training costs is an important problem in many organizations. In this research, the assignment problem with dependent cost is considered, i.e. the training cost associated with assigning a …
Using Discrete Event Simulation To Improve The Patient Care Process In The Emergency Department Of A Rural Kentucky Hospital., Molly Cassaro Jones
Using Discrete Event Simulation To Improve The Patient Care Process In The Emergency Department Of A Rural Kentucky Hospital., Molly Cassaro Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The patient care process of a rural Kentucky hospital is a complex process that must be flexible in order to deal with a large variety of patient needs and a fluctuating patient volume where all patients are unscheduled. A simulation model of an average month in the emergency department was built using the Arena Simulation package. Methods for creating a simulation using Arena are included in this work. Statistics were generated from a number of different sources to create an accurate representation of the model. The Hospital reporting shows a need to improve on two quality measures being tracked, the …
