Variation reduction of a closed-loop precision ceramic micromachining process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
This report details the investigation of the micromachining of a TiC.A1203 ceramic using a closed-loop lapping process. Currently the micromachining process laps a ceramic bar with only a priori flatness adjustment. Bar ...
Managing variation in near-constraint systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Vertical integration and the portability of skill sets in high tech industries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Some companies use vertical integration to enter higher growth businesses and gain higher margins. Attractive business opportunities often appear just beyond one's stage in a value chain, leading companies to grasp for ...
Applying Six Sigma to Tenneco Automotive manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Product Quality, broadly defined as the ability of a company's product to meet specific confonnance requirements as defined by the customer, is the subject of this thesis. Specifically, this thesis will explore how product ...
Analysis and reduction of variability in scanning electron microscopy measurements of critical dimensions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis describes work done during a Leaders for Manufacturing internship at Intel. At the broadest level, this work relates to the importance of controlling and monitoring measurement processes just as one controls ...
Organizational learning in a platform team environment and the development of hard-top doors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
The competitive potential of high-temperature superconductors for power transmission
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
High temperature superconductors were discovered in 1987. World-wide, many groups are presently engaged in the research and development of these materials for power transmission cable applications. This thesis examines the ...
