This book comprises the proceedings of International Conference
on Research and Innovations in Mechanical Engineering (ICRIME 2013)
organized by Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana with
support from AICTE, TEQIP, DST and PTU, Jalandhar. This
international conference served as a premier forum for
communication of new advances and research results in the fields of
mechanical engineering. The proceedings reflect the conference's
emphasis on strong methodological approaches and focus on
applications within the domain of mechanical engineering. The
contents of this volume aim to highlight new theoretical and
experimental findings in the fields of mechanical engineering and
closely related fields, including interdisciplinary fields such as
robotics and mechatronics.

This student friendly and self-explanatory textbook attempts to
help readers, engineering students in India, grasp the basic
concepts of engineering drawing clearly and easily. Care has been
taken to include topics that mesh well with the syllabi of most
universities, colleges and polytechnic institutes in India.
Important topics, such as projection of solids, auxiliary
projections, section of solids, isometric projections, orthographic
projections and projection of planes, have been discussed
comprehensively. Heavy emphasis has also been put on the actual
figures described in the text, both from the first angle and third
angle projection methods. A chapter on computer graphics further
integrates these concepts with modern manual computer aided design.
Finally, hundreds of solved examples, practice problems and
objective-type questions with answers have been added to ensure the
learning objectives of each chapter have been achieved.
In the contemporary automotive manufacturing industry, service
providers are continuously working to improve system optimization
in order to remain competitive in the market and deliver quality
products to satisfy their customers. With this comes the
possibility of failure, rejection and reworking of the components
or services in the system, which can incur high costs and impact
the reputation of an organization. This book uses Failure Mode and
Effect Analysis (FMEA) to assess, investigate and predict the Risk
Priority Number (RPN) of potential failures for three companies
within the manufacturing industry: A metal component supplier in
the automotive sector Part manufacturer for the automobile and
engineering industries Manufacturer of suspension components for
commercial vehicles Integrating human expertise and artificial
intelligence on a single platform, the authors use fuzzy logic as a
tool to overcome the vagueness associated with traditional methods
of assessing potential failures. The book also details the
procedure and scales of how to conduct FMEA, offering guidance on
how to input and rank each risk within manufacturing processes
across a range of sectors's. Each of the three real-world cases
offer suggested improvements for the companies themselves,
alongside takeaways for researchers and professionals within the
fields of manufacturing and supply chain management.
This book covers the strategic use of continuous improvement (CI)
techniques for manufacturing performance improvement. It focuses
primarily on strategies that can be adopted by small and
middle-sized enterprises in manufacturing in order to meet the
global challenges and competition. The book begins with an
introduction to CI (or Kaizen), explaining different CI approaches
and strategies. Chapter 2 offers a literature review of CI,
examining conceptual frameworks, case studies, and surveys. Next,
the book deals with the design of the study, detailing the work
done in each phase along with the tools, techniques and models.
Chapter 4 presents a detailed survey to determine the present
status of continuous improvement strategies in the Indian
manufacturing industry, to assess the important barriers that
effect the implementation of CI strategies, and to also assess the
role of key enablers leading to improve the performance of
manufacturing operations. Chapter 5 is comprised of detailed case
studies to further analyze the application of the discussed CI
strategies. The purpose of Chapter 6 is to develop the relationship
among the different identified most important barriers in
implementing CI approach using interpretive structural modeling
(ISM) and classify these barriers depending upon their driving and
dependence power. Finally Chapter 7 provides conclusions, addresses
potential limitations, and also looks to the future.
Advances in technology have moved manufacturing organizations
toward a new competitive landscape in terms of improved product
market characteristics, improved plant capacity and flexibility.
With the liberalization and globalization of today's economy, a lot
of pressure has come on the organisations in developing countries
to perform better in the coming days. For that reason, the
companies' related to industrial production should try to improve
their technological status by implementing advanced manufacturing
technologies through joint ventures or licensing agreements. It
comprises of five phases: literature review, survey of
manufacturing industry by employing strategically designed
questionnaire, conduction of case studies in different
organizations, the inferences drawn from the survey and case
studies have been synthesized for the development of implementation
plan. An implementation plan has been suggested to equip the
technology manager with number of options such as optimism,
pessimism and averages for exercising the freedom to manage the
industrial situation through flexible system methodology.
Today's managers often try to apply sophisticated tools and
technologies to deal with problems that can be solved with low-cost
approach. As saying "Work smarter, not harder." Kaizen, first and
foremost, builds the employees morale and self - respect. Company
benefits from worker's participation as well as from the aggregate
financial benefits of the ideas. The concept of Kaizen is deeply
ingrained in everybody's mind at plant of medium sized company
manufacturing cold rolled steel strips. More number of cold rolling
mills is coming in the market and every one is trying to increase
the profitability, which can only be possible through the
continuous improvement in every field. An attempt has been done to
implement Kaizen practice in a process industry to increase the
overall profit of the company. A steering committee has been formed
to monitor the overall Kaizen initiation and implementation.
Different projects are selected in the field of consumable cost by
reducing the consumption of fuel and power; quality defect by
reducing the defect of gauge variation and stickers marks; and
increase the production of bottleneck production line.
The ultimate objective of the manufacturing organizations today is
to increase profitability through system simplification,
organizational potential and incremental improvements by using
modern techniques like Continuous Improvement, TPM and TQM etc.
Most of the manufacturing organizations are currently encountering
a necessity to respond to rapidly changing customer needs, desires
and tastes. In order for organization to remain competitive and
retain their market share in this global market, continuous
improvement of manufacturing system processes has become necessary.
Different strategies are involved in successful implementation of
Continuous Improvement approach in different organizations.
Research is still lacking to check the performance of such
managerial techniques in Manufacturing Industry. So an attempt has
been made to identify such strategies, to check the level of
importance and difficulties of these strategies and the important
benefits achieved after successful implementation of both
Continuous Improvement approach and its Strategies have been
identified.
