Reducing Learning Object Inspection/Evaluation Costs in Instructional Design
… popular and well documented instructional design models (Wilson, Jonassen, and Cole, 1993) for decades. Despite its widespread use, Thiagarajan, a leading instructional technologist, asserts that ADDIE, as an instructional design approach, is comparable to an outdated 1950's manufacturing model …

Overcoming Challenges in Cellular Therapies: A Systems Engineering Approach for Equitable Access
… adaptive cell therapies, high development costs, manufacturing complexities, and regulatory hurdles hinder widespread adoption. The lack of agreement in the field with respect to centralized versus decentralized manufacturing models and the choice between autologous and allogeneic cell sources …

Green automotive supply chain for an emerging market
… industry is largely based on combining lean manufacturing with mandated supplier adoption of ISO 14001-compliant Environmental Management Systems (EMS). This approach evolved from automotive manufacturers seeking to expediently expand green practices within existing lean supply chains. …

Robot-proofing economic development: econometric, growth diagnostic, and machine learning evidence
… however, threatens to disrupt the low-cost manufacturing models which have characterized this process; the future may see factories resituated to high-income, high-skill countries which can successfully deploy automation. This thesis consequently evaluates how developing countries could …

Modeling and Optimization of In-Space Manufacturing to Inform Technology Development
In-space manufacturing (ISM) has the potential to alter the paradigm of space system design by enabling fabrication of components that are unencumbered by launch-related design constraints. However, the size, weight, and power of manufacturing equipment can easily outweigh the benefits, while the …

Economic inclusivity through networked SME production : a case study in Kenya
As global manufacturing systems shift towards flexible and small-batch production, product developers and policy-makers have an opportunity to encourage more inclusive industrialization strategies. It is hypothesized that networks of informal-sector producers can provide an effective and ethical …

Fractal architecture for 'leagile' networked enterprises.
The manufacturing environment and markets in recent times are becoming increasingly dynamic, diverse and unpredictable, due mainly to fast evolution of products and technology, erratic customer behaviour and high consumerism and an increasingly shorter lead-time. The burden of the impact falls on …
