(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In 2008, a group of MIT Master of Engineering students built a roll to roll machine for printing thiol onto a flexible gold substrate by self-assembly. The machine demonstrated good performance in high speed printing (400 ...
Innovative color management methods for RGB printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Re-calibrating a printer in response to systematic changes is measurement and labor intensive. In this study, a fast correction method with cycle-to-cycle control was proposed. The process includes two steps: the creation ...
Multiple-part-type systems in high volume manufacturing : long-term capacity planning & time-based production control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This project examines a production station that faces fluctuating demand with seasonal pattern. The cumulative capacity exceeds the cumulative demand in a one year period; however, its weekly capacity is not able to meet ...
Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of material handling for a pharmaceutical factory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
A sustainable and cost-effective material handling plan was developed in a pharmaceutical factory to support the rapidly growing production demand. Problem analysis was followed by the investigation of various solutions: ...
IBC management : an application of WIP control for a pharmaceutical company
