Industrial Engineering in Apparel Manufacturing by Dr. Prabir Jana, Dr. Manoj Tiwari Pdf

While there is pressure (from buyers), inclination (within self to do better) and a heightened aspiration among apparel manufacturers to use Industrial Engineering (IE) like other more industrialized sectors, there is no specific book as such dealing with IE in relation to apparel manufacturing. The existing books that are already written on IE possess academic rigour and generic functions applicable across industries, thus making it difficult for the practitioners to refer and clear discrete doubts related to apparel manufacturing. Undoubtedly, work study is the centrepiece of Industrial Engineering; however apart from work study, industrial engineers in apparel industry are also supposed to perform various other functions like preparing operation breakdown and operation flow chart, selecting machine type and attachment and workaids, planning machine layout for maximizing unidirectional material movement, optimising inventory and storage space and maintaining workplace health and safety. These are some of the areas that often lack significant attention. This practitioner’s handbook is an amalgamation of theory and practices, including steps of implementation and common mistakes. A balanced approached is taken to make it equally meaningful and useful for the academics as well as the industry. A unique section titled “industry practices” is incorporated at the end of each chapter which shares the typical practices, constraints and benefits accrued by the industry, which will give meaningful insight to the readers and help them relate theory with actual practice.

Expert and Novice Performance in an Industrial Engineering Virtual World Simulation by John L. Elson II Pdf

Expert and novice problem solving has been a subject of research for many years. Problem solving of textbook problems and case studies in various domains such as math, physics, chess, music, system design, medical diagnosis, and business sub-domains have been the norm as the subject of this type of research. Few if any research efforts have undertaken the study of real world problem solving that occurs over an extended time such as those solved by industrial engineers in a manufacturing setting. This research studies the expert and novice problem solving performance in a scaled-world simulation of a manufacturing company experiencing a high backlog of customer orders. Research time consists of eight hours of problem solving behavior for teams of two as they diagnose the problem and make decisions to meet the problem goal. Participants can advance simulation time forward for weeks to get feedback on their decisions. The seven research hypotheses are: 1) experts will generate a better outcome for the primary problem goal in the test situation in the given time period than novices; 2) experts will make more correct decisions in solving the problem in the test situation than novices; 3) experts will understand the system dynamics of the problem in the test situation better than novices; 4) experts will search for data and situation information better than novices in solving the problem in the test situation; 5) experts will recognize and use data and situation information better than novices in solving the problem in the test situation; 6) experts will use more domain knowledge than novices in solving the problem in the test situation; and, 7) experts will use a forward or top-down problem solving method and novices will use a backward or bottom-up problem solving method. The experimental results support all seven research hypotheses. Discussion ensues about the unexpected results such as fixation on scheduling. The conclusions are that the research simulation discriminates between novice and expert performance which indicates its potential for measuring levels of industrial engineering expertise. Suggestions for future research with the scaled-world simulation and its use in the classroom are given.
