Investigating the feasibility and impact of integrating wire-arc additive manufacturing in aerospace tooling applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The use of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) as fabrication method for Iron-Nickel 36 (Invar36) alloy aerospace tooling is a growing area of interest for many tooling companies and composite aircraft manufacturers. ...
Applications of risk pooling for the optimization of spare parts with stochastic demand within large scale networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Amazon is able to deliver millions of packages to customers every day through its Fulfillment Center (FC) network that is powered by miles of material handling equipment (MHE) such as conveyor belts. Unfortunately, this ...
Optimizing thermal spray quality verification in FAA repair station specializing in rotating components
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Thermal spray is a manufacturing process where melted particles are sprayed onto a surface to build up thickness. It is used extensively in the aerospace industry to improve and repair part surfaces, extending the useful ...
Transmission system overvoltage mitigation through the use of distributed generation (DG) smart inverters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the technical ability and cost-effectiveness of reducing electric transmission system overvoltage violations using distributed generation (DG) smart inverters connected to ...
Assessing sales floor capacity and replenishment strategy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Target stores (and the upstream supply chain) have been traditionally designed for a predominantly brick and mortar business, fed by a push supply chain model. With the growing need for omnichannel sales fulαllment, supply ...
Process Intensification of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf) Cell Growth via Multi-Parallel Bioreactor System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The objective of this project is to improve the yield of the fed-batch manufacturing process for the production of Flublok influenza vaccine, which was approved by the FDA in 2018. In short, Spodoptera frugiperda (SF+) ...
Product management framework for the development of automation solutions for biologics drug substance manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis presents a product management framework for the development of innovative manufacturing automation solutions, and the application of this framework to the development of automation for a continuous biomanufacturing ...
Benchmarking environmental efficiency of garment factories to understand the value of real-time environmental data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Li & Fung works with over 10,000 factories distributed across 50 countries to design, produce, and deliver hard- and soft- goods to over 2,000 apparel and consumer goods customers. An increasingly prevalent focus of the ...
Reducing inventory through supply chain coordination and improved lead times
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In supply chain management, it is commonly held that reducing lead times and minimum order quantities (MOQs) from suppliers can drive down the customer's inventory levels substantially. Customers providing a consumption ...
A data-driven approach to continuous improvement in reverse logistics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Verizon may rely on third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to manage some aspects of the reverse supply chain of Fios equipment. As a result, it depends on the 3PL to continually strive for increased quality, reliability, ...
