Abstract: A heavy machinery operators’ ability to adhere to schedules is crucial for the success of construction projects. However, unforeseen delays often occur during projects, forcing operators to expedite their work. This pressure ...

Abstract: The construction industry is vulnerable to heat-related hazards, necessitating identification of high-risk areas and contributing factors. This study introduces a novel framework that integrates microclimate simulations ...

Abstract: “Group Scheduling,” which is operations scheduling based on the Group Technology concept, was analyzed in a multistage manufacturing system. In the case of fabricating multiple parts (jobs) grouped ...

Abstract: An analysis of a product-mix problem of multistage production systems was performed to optimally select parts to be processed in limited amounts of time available for given production facilities, ...

Abstract: An analysis for machine loading was performed to optimally select parts to be manufactured in a limited amount of time available by a given production facility by applying the Group Technology ...

Abstract: Cutting tools of sufficient strength against failure by brittle fracture or loss of “form stability” through rise of interface temperatures, still continue to fail by a process of “wear,” which ...

Abstract: Comparative cutting performance tests of two ceramic tools in machining cast iron, AISI-4340, H-11 steel were made, and the wear patterns, wear rates, and tool life data are analyzed to evaluate ...
