Synchronous manufacturing : implementing "pull" production in a job shop environment
… in the job shop environment of the shipyard's Fabrication Shop. This thesis focuses on the design of a Drum-Buffer-Rope implementation of the Theory of Constraints in a high variability, high volume steel fabrication shop. Additionally, it describes how this method was selected over alternative …

Ross Caudill MFA Sculpture 2006
… palette has mostly consisted of bronze casting, steel fabrication, fiberglass and epoxy resin, paint, the found object, woodworking, and mold making. This work is also conceptually based in showing the hand worked qualities of the materials, the transfer of meaning through casting, and my …

Alternative Methods for Sealing Overlapping Steel Members with Narrow Gaps During Galvanizing
Narrow gaps in overlapping structural steel surfaces are problematic when being hot-dip galvanized due to the potential for trapped cleaning solutions between the surfaces. A seal-weld is often used to prevent the cleaning solutions from penetrating this gap. However, these welds are not necessary …

Vibration Serviceability Assessment of a Steel Modular Floor System
A new modular steel floor system, named FastFloor, is proposed for commercial buildings. The system is conceptualized to be prefabricated at the shop and ready to be installed on a previously erected skeleton frame structure consisting of girders and columns or connected to core shear walls. The …
