The research conducted for this thesis was performed at "Company X", a U.S.-based engineered goods manufacturer. This project focused on the company's Advanced Manufacturing group and its process technology development methodology. The newly founded Advanced Manufacturing group started multiple innovation projects, but did not successfully implement any of them so far. Lack of organizational integration, an overall R&D strategy, as well as a defined innovation methodology negatively affected the difficult situation of that small group of engineers. This project seeks to compare the innovation methodology and process technology development of Advanced Manufacturing with best practices from similar industries as well as literature. An analysis of how to choose the right R&D projects, as well as how to execute these projects, demonstrates the differences between Company X and other organizations that are considered innovative. Case studies of a specific R&D project, in addition to an interdisciplinary workgroup of Advanced Manufacturing, highlight the positive and negative characteristics of the current innovation process. The results of this analysis provide Company X with additional insights how to use the existing innovation resources more successfully. Recommendations provided in this thesis can be used by Company X to support future technology development projects but also to help the newly founded task force that started to develop a company-wide innovation strategy (process and product innovation). Keywords: Product Development, Process Development, Advanced Manufacturing, Innovation.

To improve customer service levels, Intel implemented Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) hub process for its Central Processing Unit (CPU) Finished Good (FG) inventory, which allows Intel's customers to pull inventory directly from the hubs. However, this process change resulted in increased inventory in Intel's overall supply chain and thus increased inventory costs. This work investigates reducing inventory cost by applying a Multi Echelon Inventory Optimization (MEIO) approach to manage Intel's VMI Hub Supply Chain. The goal is to evaluate the hypothesis that an MEIO approach for inventory management and replenishment will result in a more efficient use of FG inventory. To assess the hypothesis, we developed a three-step modeling framework. In each step, we conducted several experiments, applying the MEIO model approach, to determine the optimal CPU FG inventory stocking levels needed to meet customer service level goals for different products and locations. The study was concluded with quantitative and qualitative business impact of implementing an MEIO approach for Intel CPU FG Supply Chain. The MEIO modeling result shows significant inventory reduction opportunities and were presented to the Senior Management team of Intel Supply Chain.

Full textEnergy security is critical to the DOD and can be achieved using different methods, but for DOD installations cost effectiveness must be taken into consideration when evaluating energy security goals. Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) have a wide range of associated technologies as well as large differences in cost and capabilities. This study examines the cost effectiveness of utilizing an ESS to perform peak shaving with an Energy Management System (EMS). An EMS used with an ESS can perform several functions that can be beneficial to the grid. These functions include peak shaving, conducting power factor correction, matching critical load to most efficient distributed resource, and islanding a system during commercial grid disruption. While utilizing an ESS within a microgrid allows several benefits, to include peak shaving, the ability to utilize photovoltaic arrays during islanding, and power factor correction, the implementation of the ESS by itself is likely to prove cost prohibitive. The DOD requires energy projects to have net savings over the life cycle of the project and in areas without high differential between peak power and off-peak power, this goal will be difficult to achieve.

Full textThis study aims at examining technical and institutional capacity in local organisations to manage decentralised forest resources in Uganda. Specifically the study assessed the roles, responsibilities, powers and legal instruments, incentives, facilities and human and fiscal resources of local organisations to undertake decentralised forest governance. Semistructured and key informant interviews were conducted in local organisations and legal and policy documents reviewed to ascertain strategies for implementing decentralised forestry. An inventory of selected forests was conducted to assess effect of decentralisation policy on the condition of forests in Uganda. Chi-square tests were used to show the factors that motivate local organisations to participate in decentralised forest governance. Tree species diversity and richness, density, diameter at breast height and basal area and sings of human disturbance were used to compare the condition of forests under local government and those under private and central government ownership. Similarity between the forests was assessed using a Two Way INdicator SPecies Analysis, while the differences in the composition and structural characteristics of trees among forest ownership categories were compared by oneway analysis of variance. Multiple regression analysis was used to show the influence of household pressure, forest size, the distance of the forest from roads and forest administrative office, and the market demand of the forest produce on the capacity of forest agencies to regulate timber harvesting. The findings reveals that local organisations supported devolved forest management functions such as forest monitoring, tree planting, environmental education, networking, collaborative and integrated planning, resource mobilisation and formulation of byelaws. The role of forestry in the livelihoods of the people, the desire to control forest degradation and access to forest revenue, donor and central government fiscal support were the most important incentives in decentralised forest management. However, limited capacity in terms of qualified staff, funds, facilities and equipment and inadequate decision-making powers over fiscal resources from forestry, inequitable distribution of forest revenue and unclear forest and tree tenure hindered decentralised forest management. The diversity and richness indices, density, diameter at breast height and basal area of trees were significantly higher in central forest reserves, intermediate in private and lower in local forest reserves. The frequency of human disturbances was significantly higher in local forest reserves than in private and central forest reserves. The variation in composition and structure of the local forest reserves is partly attributed to human disturbances. The capacity of the forest agencies to regulate forest resources use in the Mpigi forests was significantly affected by the size of forest, and its location in relation to the well-maintained roads, forest administrative office and the number of households in close proximity and the market demand of the forest produce. Large forests in close proximity to densely populated areas and far a way from roads and the forest administrative office were more affected by timber harvesting. The results demonstrated that local governments are not yet efficient in monitoring and regulating forest use and maintaining the condition of forests in Uganda. Local organisations need to play an increased role in the implementation of the Forest Policy, the National Forestry and Tree Planting and the Local Government Acts for successful decentralisation of forest management and to recruit more technical staff, strengthen internal sources of revenue and develop integrated forestry work plans. There is also a need for the central government to integrate and co-ordinate local and central interests, and facilitate a working relationship with local governments, civil society and the private sector involved in forestry. Forest owners and managers in the Mpigi forests and Ugandaâ s tropical forests in general need to manage human impacts so as to balance utilisation and conservation forest resources. There is need for longterm studies to fully understand the real significance of ownership on the composition and structure of the Mpigi forests and forests in other districts of Uganda.

Full textA Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) is designed to manage laboratory processes and data. It has the ability to extend the core functionality of the LIMS through configuration tools and add-on modules to support the implementation of complex laboratory workflows. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how laboratory data and processes from a complex workflow can be implemented using a LIMS. Genomic samples have become an important part of the drug development process due to advances in molecular testing technology. This technology evaluates genomic material for disease markers and provides efficient, cost-effective, and accurate results for a growing number of clinical indications. The preparation of the genomic samples for evaluation requires a complex laboratory process called the precision aliquotting workflow. The precision aliquotting workflow processes genomic samples into precisely created aliquots for analysis. The workflow is defined by a set of aliquotting scheme attributes that are executed based on scheme specific rules logic. The aliquotting scheme defines the attributes of each aliquot based on the achieved sample recovery of the genomic sample. The scheme rules logic executes the creation of the aliquots based on the scheme definitions. LabWare LIMS is a Windows® based open architecture system that manages laboratory data and workflow processes. A LabWare LIMS model was developed to implement the precision aliquotting workflow using a combination of core functionality and configured code.
