Total Quality in a Serial Industry - The Concept of a Closed-Loop in a Total Autonomous Flow
The scientific paper presents a study on the practical perspectives to achieve the ideal “Zero defects” in the automotive industry. The concept of “Zero defects” is a desideratum of all quality managers that can lead to a final goal represented by total customer satisfaction. Quality assurance is necessary in the automotive industry and occurs as a tool by which any organization can achieve a place as competitive as possible in the competitive market. The closed-loop concept emerges as the final solution for achieving the “Zero Defects” ideal. The closed-loop concept encapsulates automation, communication, artificial intelligence, and systematization applied to industrial equipment. The res…
Surface Modification of Poly(Vinylchloride) for Manufacturing Advanced Catheters
Polymeric materials, due to their excellent physicochemical properties and versatility found applicability in multiples areas, including biomaterials used in tissue regeneration, prosthetics (hip, artificial valves), medical devices, controlled drug delivery systems, etc. Medical devices and their applications are very important in modern medicine and the need to develop new materials with improved properties or to improve the existent materials is increasing every day. Numerous reasearches are activated in this domain in order to obtain materials/surfaces that does not have drawbacks such as structural failure, calcifications, infections or thrombosis. One of the most used material is pol…
Innovation – A Challenge for the 21st Century Managers
Abstract The knowledge based economy entails more and more the intangible assets as a main tendency in the actual times. In the new economy, what counts is the model of thinking and the creation, which represent the key of the competition. The property of the ideas and the way one turns to advantage the economic potential of these, are the factors that bear more and more upon the future of the organizations and of companies, and this is also the one that gives the competitive advantage on the market. In this paper we have as a purpose framing the importance of innovation within the organizations, the problems that the managers confront during this process and also to present an evaluation m…
Applied study on the rotational molding and processing technology of rotational molds
Computer-aided manufacturing involves a set of computerized activities related to the preparation, launch and follow-up of manufacturing. Computer-aided manufacturing is a tool that allows the use of 3D models based on computer-aided design. This paper addresses the process of rotational formation, with an effective focus on the technology of processing a rotational mold using CAM simulation as a research method. In this sense, the right choice of CNC and cutting tools is essential. The use of numerically controlled machine tools and high-performance cutting tools reduces the number of operations. The manufacturing route realized is specific to the parts machining on numerical control machi…
Research on the machining process modeling of a rotational mold using CAM applications
Rotational molding is a unique process, with a high growth rate, which allows the use of geometries and materials adapted to particular needs. It is superior to other manufacturing methods in terms of low cost, break-even point and size of parts that can be manufactured. Rotational molding products are often a substitute, with a lower mass, for traditionally used materials. In this scientific paper it is analyzed the recent literature related to the field of rotational molding processes. It also addresses the issue of processing a rotational mold, with the main purpose of optimizing the cutting regime. In this context, it is highlighted the way of processing the surface of the outer mold ba…
