The Benefit of Using Simulation to Improve The Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Case Study: Quick Changeovers to Allow Level Loading of The Assembly Line
… In this research, a case study of implementing level loading of the production schedule for BullFrog International, L.C. will be examined. To make it possible to implement level loading, the thermo-former machine at the beginning of the operations was improved to allow quick changeovers. The …

Optimal staffing recommendation for inbound operations
… an alternate method for staffing, known as 'Level loading,' was proposed. Level loading consists of staffing to a known and consistent headcount every day of the week with the intent to reduce staffing costs and labor capacity variability. Level loading was found to improve the efficiency of …

Strength and Performance of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Post-Tensioned Flat Plates
… bays along with a 2ft-6in. overhang. Distributed loading was applied with a whiffle tree loading system at each bay and overhang section. Throughout the test, crack widths, crack locations, deflections, concrete strains, and reinforcing bar strains were monitored. The post-tensioned flat plate was …

Investigations into Flange Surface Friction Effects on Shear Stud Load Transfer in Composite Bridge Girders
… estimating demands on shear studs during service-level loading consider only bearing load transfer, neglecting adhesion bonding and friction load transfer between the concrete deck and girder flange. Quantifying alternative load transfer mechanisms across the steel-concrete interface may result in …

Simulated Automobile and Rotary-Wing Aircraft Impacts: Dynamic Neck Response after Surgical Treatment for Cervical Spondylosis
… procedure designed to maintain adjacent-level loading. While literature exists comparing the effects of cervical arthrodesis and cervical arthroplasty on neck kinematics and loading, the vast majority of these studies applied only quasi-static, non-injurious loading conditions. This …
