A series of methods and techniques has gained prominence in the organizations that possess a standard of system for development of products - SDP in the conceptual phase of the project, as well as in redesign when ...

Uma importante fonte de vantagem competitiva para muitas organizações no mundo é a capacidade de criar projetos de produtos menos complicados, compostos por um número pequeno de partes e de fácil montagem, sem deixar de ...

Today the assembly sequence for the products is often carried out manually and its definition, typically, is very expensive, not guaranteeing optimal solutions. Coming up with an efficient assembly sequence is the essential ...

Design processes are leading to the reduction of product development time and costs. This trend applies to the evaluation of function, architecture and high level information as far as possible at early stages of product ...

The self-assembly of n-alkyl chains at the bulk or at the interface of different types of materials and substrates has been extensively studied in the past. The packing of alkyl chains is driven by Van der Waals interactions ...

In this paper we consider the programming of job rotation in the assembly line worker assignment and balancing problem. The motivation for this study comes from the designing of assembly lines in sheltered work centers for ...

For quite a while, scientists have resorted to colloidal synthesis to mimic complex structural and functional materials found in Nature. In particular, within the past few years, the synthesis of suprastructures with novel ...

Self-organized metallo-supramolecular heterostructures have potential applications that include molecular electronics, photovoltaics, and magnetic devices, among other examples. The main challenge that scientists typically ...

In supramolecular chemistry, the rational design of self‐assembled systems remains a challenge. Herein, hydrogen‐bonded rosettes of melamine and ammeline have been theoretically examined by using dispersion‐corrected density ...
