Text Book Writing on Knol is Convenient and Rewarding

Knol is a wiki-based predominantly academic article writing platform promoted by Google. The platform has promoted writing textbooks on it. Textbooks can be written in various models on it. One model is to write it as one knol or one web page for each section of a chapter. That way a book can be written in around 300 pages and an automatic navigation is provided by the Knol collection feature.

There is convenience and reward for writing a textbook on Knol.

Japan Adds Total to IE also

H. Yamashina of Japan developed World Class Manufacturing approach and he included Total Industrial Engineering along with Total Quality Management, Total productive Maintenance and Cost Deployment.

According to him TQM is the brain, TPM is the muscle and TIE is the humanware.

I am trying to find out the details of the concept. So far I could only access three or four slides on the concept. Covered in a post on Knol.

Management and Industrial Engineering

Management Definition

Management of an organization is the process of establishing objectives and goals of the organization periodically, designing the work system and the organization structure, and maintaining an environment in which individuals, working together in groups, accomplish their aims and objectives and goals of the organization effectively and efficiently. (Narayana Rao)

Narayana Rao defined industrial engineering as: "Industrial Engineering is Human Effort Engineering and System Efficiency Engineering. It is an engineering discipline that deals with the design of human effort and system efficiency in all occupations: agricultural, manufacturing and service. The objectives of Industrial Engineering are optimization of productivity of work-systems and occupational comfort, health, safety and income of persons involved." ( Industrial Engineering )

The statement "Industrial Engineering is Human Effort Engineering and System Efficiency Engineeering" appeared in the Industrial Engineer (March 2010 issue), magazine of Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), which is the global association of Productivity and Efficiency professionals.

Industrial engineering techniques and tools build efficiency into systems. Production management texts do cover some of the techniques of industrial engineering. Design professionals get some inputs in value engineering. A better system would be to introduce a course on industrial engineering in business curriculums so that business school graduates understand the profession and discipline of industrial engineering appropriately and make use of the services of IE departments in various functions of management.

Crankshaft Machining

Answer by Ponkshe - Suggestion to students

Crankshaft Designing & production!


But I would suggest the way how to solve such problems. It would be beneficial to them.

@ Students!

U start with asking following questions to yourself.

What is the function of the product? Answer = Transmit the high torque.
What r the working conditions of the component?
Answer = High temperature, intermittent shocks with long working durations.
What r the properties u desire? Answer = Long life without affecting it’s own dimensions (& it’s supporting parts too) & surface finish!

How to produce on mass scale?
Answer = Naturally Forging? (because if u try welding it would not sustain shocks. if u try casting there would be problems like porosity / cracks etc.
Now what is the answer to your question? U have to search for the material which is not costly answer is steel. Then what would be the size of Crank Shaft (So the size of engine) to sustain in that working conditions. Answer is very large size.
Now what to do to minimize the size & shape? Answer is Alloying with other metals which would enhance the desired properties. Try to reduce friction & Temperature by Oil holes etc.
I would suggest the students to refer Handbook for searching suitable metals which would easily mix with steel!
Now same way they can find out or prepare manufacturing process!
Caution: Note if you want to produce unit quantity the answer would (may) be different!!
(Advantage by using this method: U can remember the properties of various materials & mfg. processes very easily.)

Final Quick Revision Problem Sets for IIT JEE 2010

A series of quick revision problem sets are being given in the blog

http://iit-jee-2010.blogspot.com/

These problems set are to quickly make you think about the principles and formulas and application randomly on everyday. You have to be ready to write the examination on any day from today. You must have the capability to recollect any question from any chapter of any subject. Think like that and your brain will get trained to recollect things quickly and instantly.

All the best
