An overview of very high cycle fatigue behavior of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-06)This paper presents a brief review on the current state of knowledge of the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior of metallic parts fabricated using Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. It has been shown that AM has ... -
Performance enhancing drug usage: The influence of adverse health effects and public embarrassment
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-06)This research examines the impact of adverse health effects and public embarrassment as deterrents to the use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs). Deterrence theory suggests that potential PED users execute a cost-benefit ... -
Lean in education: Mistake-proofing methods used by teachers at a magnet high school.
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-06)High school teachers, like most people, make mistakes on a regular basis, but they have also developed mistake-proofing methods to negate the impact of these errors. There is currently no published research in the field ... -
Smart sensor interface model using IoT for pipeline integrity Cathodic Protection
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-06)This study proposes a design of a smart sensor interface for monitoring Cathodic Protection (CP) in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The corrosion sensor is used to monitor voltage potential from a sacrificial anode ... -
Big data, ethics, and social impact theory: A conceptual framework
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-06)Decisions made using big data, impact ethical issues like privacy, security, ownership, and decision making. In addition, those same decisions can have a positive or negative social impact. This paper proposes a framework ... -
Exploratory analysis of the Malcolm Baldrige National Performance Excellence Award model
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-06)This paper conducts exploratory statistical analysis to assess trends in scores for the Malcolm Baldrige National Performance Excellence Award Model (MBNQA). The analysis identifies significant differences and similarities ... -
Mobile device espionage
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)Malware and hacking activities are growing among today's most popular mobile devices. These security risks are prompting companies, federal facilities, and other institutions to enact policies aimed at mitigating the amount ... -
Does corporate social responsibility affect corporate profit margins?
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasingly playing a major role in Corporate Business Strategy. Initially, many firms played "lip service" to CSR in trying to be compliant with a new initiative that perceived ... -
A genetic algorithm for battery-based energy storage transportation using railway
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)The use of renewable energy sources has increased significantly in the past few years. Due to the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources, planning and distribution of this energy is considered a challenging ... -
Effects of design parameters on dimensional accuracy of parts made on a mini 3-axis CNC router
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)Computer numerical control (CNC) is a very broad term that encompasses a variety of types of machines used in industrial automation - all with different sizes, shapes, and functions. But the easiest way to think about CNC ... -
Application of group control charts for multiple parts manufacturing
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)In many manufacturing processes, multiple identical parts are made in parallel during a single run. Different inspectors may inspect similar parts, and several assembly lines may produce similar products. These scenarios ... -
A benchmark study - How industrial engineering undergraduate programs are addressing healthcare needs
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)While healthcare in the U.S. has made great strides at improvement, the delivery system still needs major changes, as evidenced by increasing costs (4-10% per year) and ongoing problems with patient safety. Healthcare ... -
Optimal stormwater runoff path by identifying gravitational potential energy function with the least energy path
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)This study identifies a stormwater runoff path that has the least energy value, which is proposed to be defined from the principle of the potential energy function. The runoff path is one of the most important issues for ... -
