Adapting The Product Family Concept To A Digitalised Value Stream Method

Proceedings of the Conference on Production Systems and Logistics
The first step of the value stream method—widely used for lean production optimisation—is the deduction of product families. Aggregating products with production similarities into product families and analysing the value streams of these families ...

Value Stream Analysis of Manufacturing Engineering New Product Introduction Processes [PDF]

, 2011
This paper describes the use of a methodology for value stream mapping and analysis of Manufacturing Engineering New Product Introduction processes. The applicability and usefulness of the technique to process improvement in this domain is explored in a case study where the production system for a new component part is planned and proven. This analysis

Value Stream Analysis in Military Logistics: The Improvement in Order Processing Procedure [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2019
Military logistics is a complex process where response times, demand uncertainty, wide variety of material references, and cost-effectiveness are decisive for combat capability. The demanding flexibility can only be achieved by improving supply chain management (SCM) to minimize lead times. To cope with these requirements, lean thinking can be extended

Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

Impact of Pre‐Oxidation Treatments on a Recycled MgO/Steel‐Composite as Carbon Free Anode in Aluminum‐Electrolysis Environments

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Cermets (60 vol.% AISI 316L stainless steel, 40 vol.% recycled MgO), intended for use in aluminum electrolysis, were pre‐oxidized in three furnaces with different heating technologies and subjected to a cryolite corrosion test. The different atmospheres influenced the formation of oxide layers, which in turn affected corrosion resistance and ...
