Dynamic order allocation for make-to-order manufacturing networks : an industrial case study of optimization under uncertainty/
… with a major desktop manufacturing firm, we study these relatively unexplored problems, the firm's solutions to it, and alternate approaches based on mathematical optimization. We develop and analyze three distinct models for these problems which incorporate the firm's data, testing, and …

Development and application of a web-based kanban system
… for the manufacturing assembly industry. An industrial case study using the proposed Web-based Kanban system is also carried out.

Long-term scheduling technique for wastewater minimisation in multipurpose batch processes
… applied to two common literature examples and an industrial case study to demonstrate its effectiveness. None of the currently published wastewater minimisation techniques could solve the case study for a time horizon of 168h. However, through the application of the presented methodology, a time …

Empirical study of Android test generation tools on an industrial app
… In particular, researchers conduct an empirical study on existing testing techniques and tools on open-source Android apps. In this thesis, we present two significant extensions of that study. First, we conduct the first industrial case study of applying existing available testing tools against …

The System Architecture concept in Axiomatic Design theory : hypotheses generation & case-study validation
… Design support these hypotheses, and an industrial case study illustrates the validity of the hypotheses. The concept of System Architecture and system design using Axiomatic Design discussed in this thesis can contribute to the development of a rational approach to the design of a system.

Management of integrated product and process models through automated decomposition
… modeling concepts are introduced and an industrial case study is used to describe a service exchange network approach to system modeling. Then, decomposition methods are discussed and classified by dependency types as serial, functional, informational and intellectual. The need for …

Supporting design planning through process model simulation
… a thorough literature review and an extensive industrial case study, this thesis identified four themes on which subsequent process analyses focused: modelling and representation; scale and connectivity; rework, and the product-process link. The case study also provided a deeper understanding …

Developing a QFD-Based design-integrated structural analysis methodology
… of this methodology is examined through an industrial case-study for the telescopic cantilever boom, as it appears in Access platforms, and Cranes products. Findings of the case-study create a reliable account for the structural performance in early stages of the design, and ensure the …

A formal methodology for the verification of concurrent systems
… by formal proof. The application is an industrial case study which concerns the concurrent control of a real-time high speed mechanism. It is seen from the case study that the axiomatic verification method employed is complex. It requires the user to have a relatively comprehensive …

Testing advanced transactions in service-based software systems
… the concepts involving in the process of test case design. Due to the variety of protocols and standards currently used to manage WS transactions, this thesis also presents the Abstract Transaction Model (AbTM) which is capable of modelling the transaction behaviour independently of the …

Heuristics for use case descriptions.
Use cases, as part of the Unified Modelling Language, have become an industry standard. The major focus has been on the use case diagram. It is only recently that any detailed attention has been paid to the use case description. The description should be written in such a way as to make it …

An Empirical investigation into metrics for object-oriented software
… in terms of measurement theory and empirical study. From this five lessons were derived. The relatively new area of metrics for object-oriented systems is examined to determine whether suggestions for improvement have been widely heeded. The thesis uses an industrial case study and an …

Digitisation of industrial data with a view to improving decision making leading to increased efficiency
Industry 4.0 is the fourth stage of the industrial revolution which involves the interconnectedness of products and services, brought about by their digitisation. Industry 4.0 has been criticised regarding its definition and steps for implementation. This research proposes that digitalisation …

A knowledge base approach to the specification of non-functional real-time system requirements
… of this knowledge is patchy and except in a few cases has not been developed into definitions or procedures. Furthermore, while methods recognise the existence of non-functional requirements there is little detail of how to maintain traceability of these constraints into the implementation. …

Developing Innovative Heat Exchangers in a Small-Medium Enterprise: Modelling and Implementation of Pillow Plate Heat Exchangers
… Small-Medium Enterprise (SME) environment. This study first develops a robust effectiveness-NTU design methodology, adapting established heat transfer principles to the unique geometric characteristics of pillow plates across diverse applications including natural convection, sensible heat …

Contribución a la gestión de los procesos de pruebas de software y servicios
… developers under an outsourcing model; in other cases they contract specialized companies to execute a lifecycle phase, e.g. testing; so in this particular case testing should be dealt as a project, to face its complexity. In the aforementioned scenario, defining the methodology to be applied to …
