Abstract

This book consists of advances in data intelligence and its applications in sustainable computing and explores challenges of Industry 4.0. Occupational health and safety is a problem faced by many industries. It effects health, safety, and also wellbeing of employees and workers engaged. Industry 4.0 has changed the total scenario of many industries. Safety and sustainability are two major problems with most industries and other emerging sectors. So, safety is a most important criterion and is often taken care of by framing and following safety policies. Soft computing methods are used to resolve all innovative and research problems in engineering, manufacturing, and business management areas. Much innovative design and sustainable solutions are resolved by IoT and AI techniques. Any troublesome work without hard labor and with easy approaches can be resolved by IoT, which is safer and can be learned quickly. It will help research and find a significant replacement with innovative solutions to any technical and business-related problems. A huge and developing number of producers acknowledge generous monetary and natural advantages from feasible strategic policies. Manageable assembling makes items through financially strong cycles that limit adverse ecological effects while moderating energy and regular assets. Sustainable manufacturing also enhances employee, community, and product safety. A developing number of organizations are treating sustainability as a significant goal in their procedure and activities to build development and worldwide intensity practices in every place of manufacturing industries. Automation systems usually make workplaces safer by keeping people out of dangerous situations. They also encourage inclusion by substituting less physically demanding computer-based monitoring activities with jobs requiring strength or agility. The shift from a physically oriented to a knowledge-based work environment substitutes more intellectual, decentralised decision-making stresses for workplace problems like repeated actions.

Abstract

This book introduces the main concepts of manufacturing systems and presents several evaluation approaches for these systems' evaluation. The relevant macroergonomics methods are summarized and the theoretical framework for Macroergonomic Compatibility construct is explained. This book presents a Macroergonomic Compatibility Model which proposes an instrument in the form of a Macroergonomic. The authors introduce a methodology to obtain a novel Macroergonomic Compatibility Index that enables manufacturing companies to assess and follow their progress on the implementation of macroergonomics practices.

Abstract

This book reports theoretical and practical aspects related to the application of lean manufacturing tools in companies established in Latin America. The book is divided into sections according to the tools discussed therein, basic LM tools (Visual management, Andon, 5S and Standardized work), LM tools applied to production planning (Demand management, Heijunka, Takt time, Hoshin Kanri, Value stream map), LM tools applied to quality (Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle (PDCA), Total quality management (TQM), Kaizen, Gemba, Root cause analysis, Getting it right the first time, A3 problem solving, 5 whys), LM tools applied to material flow (One-piece flow, Kanban, Just in time, Bottleneck analysis), LM tools applied to machinery (Jidoka, Poka-yoke, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED)), LM tools applied to production Organization (Cellular manufacturing, Six big losses, Intelligent goals, Key performance indicators (KPI), Lean audits, Decentralization, Vertical information systems), LM applied to human factors (Multifunctional teamwork, Empowerment, Integration of functions, Leadership, Motivation, Labor safety) and LM benefits (Economic, Social and Environmental). We report each tool’s concepts, crucial research, and applications. Also, each approach underlines the authors that stand out in that topic, the implementation methodology in the production systems, the benefits they offer, and finally, a case study.
