BSL Circular Economy 2024 Conference - BSL Blog
Our world is highly unsustainable, and urgent action is needed. Is the Circular Economy a possible major improvement, or a dangerous distraction? Does it depend on how we think about the world? In which way? ...
Business School Lausanne (BSL)2024Optimizing Manufacturing Efficiency: A Six-Sigma DMAIC Approach to Reduce Operational Gaps
Jérôme Chenal, Baraka Jean-Claude Munyaka
This study applies Six-Sigma DMAIC methodology to enhance the efficiency of a manufacturing production line, specifically targeting the "gaps" between planned and actual working time. Key findings reveal that meetings, scanning, follow-up activities, walki ...
2024A Battery-Free Wireless Smart Sensor platform with Bluetooth Low Energy Connectivity for Smart Agriculture
Catherine Dehollain, Roberto La Rosa
Smart agriculture systems, which integrate sensors and data analysis into agricultural production processes, are increasingly proving an effective solution for reducing food production waste, yield production increase, and product quality improvement. In t ...
IEEE2022Model-based Systems Engineering Papers Analysis based on Word Cloud Visualization
With the continuous improvement of system scale and complexity, model-based system engineering (MBSE) is of great importance in the practice of system engineering (SE). MBSE has been widely concerned in industry, especially in the field of complex equipmen ...
IEEE2022A generic methodology and a digital twin for zero defect manufacturing (ZDM) performance mapping towards design for ZDM
Foivos Psarommatis Giannakopoulos
Over recent years, the manufacturing industry has seen constant growth and change. From one side, it has been affected by the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). From the other side, it has had to enhance its ability to meet higher customer expect ...
2021What is the role of ethics in accreditation guidelines for engineering programmes in Europe?
The Washington Accord emphasises the role of ethical and societal considerations in the practice of engineering. Increasingly, national accrediting bodies are also expecting to see evidence in the delivery and assessment of ethics throughout engineering pr ...
Technische Universität Berlin2021Product Quality Improvement Policies in Industry 4.0: Characteristics, Enabling Factors, Barriers, and Evolution Toward Zero Defect Manufacturing
Dimitrios Kyritsis, Gökan May, Foivos Psarommatis Giannakopoulos
In the competitive market of manufacturing, quality is a criterion of primary importance in order to win market share. Quality improvement must be coupled with performance point of view. Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Manageme ...
2020Real-Time Processing and Quality Improvement of Synchrophasor Data
This paper proposes a real-time algorithm for processing and quality improvement of synchrophasor data (SD). The proposed algorithm first recovers the missing SD reported by phasor measurement units (PMUs), and performs low-rank approximation on data strea ...
2020Microstereolithography
Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch
Microstereolithography is a 3D microfabrication technology that is fundamentally different from the techniques commonly used in cleanroom environment for the manufacturing of MEMS components. Most microfabrication techniques evolved from the microelectroni ...
Elsevier / William Andrew Publishing2019Simultaneous EEG-fMRI at ultra-high field for the study of human brain function
Scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have highly complementary domains, and their combination has been actively sought within neuroscience research. The important gains in fMRI sensitivity achieved with higher ...
