Aspects of Industrial Design and Their Implications for Society. Case Studies on the Influence of Packaging Design and Placement at the Point of Sale

[EN] This work aims to demonstrate that product design and packaging must be aligned with the point of sale and its social purpose. Manufacturing engineering is responsible for the design, development and improvement of production systems that convert raw materials into finished products. Each product is designed to be sold to numerous potential consumers, so the importance of the stimuli surrounding the product in packaging, and at the point of sale, cannot be underestimated. The environmental, social, and ethical commitments of industrial design (and their implications in manufacturing) are establishing universal principles in a common effort to foster a more harmonious and sustainable society. This work aims to analyse, through eye tracking biometric techniques, the level of saturation of information generated by the concentration of stimuli in packaging and the retail channel, possibly creating a lower level of attention towards the product itself. This research confirms that every product associated with a manufacturing process seeks to respond to a need, so the associated responsibility is significant. This would suggest that designers incorporate knowledge from multiple fields, including marketing strategies, design, research and development, basic knowledge related to production, integration management and communication skills. More than 50% of consumer attention is dedicated to other elements/items that accompany the product, so it is important to consider this in the design phase. The results can be used to improve efficiency in both generating product attention, and stimulus design for the purchasing process.Juárez Varón, D.; Mengual Recuerda, A.; Ferrándiz Bou, S.; Alarcón Valero, F.

A review of concurrent engineering

This paper attempts to explain and disaggregate different focuses of concurrent engineering, analyzing their application to product development and highlighting the improvements involved in their enforcement. Improvements can be observed in projects (quality), in scheduling (reducing the duration) and the cost of implementation (savings), basic achievements of concurrent engineering. Companies that already apply concurrent engineering are often multinationals, being the majority group in use. Its implementation in medium and small businesses is a very useful and achievable goal, in a field that has not developed the methodology. The entire organization (human group) is involved in the implementation of concurrent engineering, with an effort aimed at multifunctional integration and development of both product and process concurrently.Juárez Varón, D.; Peydro, MA.; Mengual Recuerda, A.; Ferrándiz Bou, S.

TGA Analysis forn Thermal Characterization of Polymer Blends for Injection

[EN] TGA analysis (thermogravimetric analysis) allows obtaining thermal information from polymers’ blends that have been studied in this work. SEBS blends were made using two commercial grades of transparent SEBS with extreme hardness. The specific thermal property determined in the SEBS blends was the evaluation of the degradation process (TGA). It is important to highlight the good resistance to degradation by both commercial grades of virgin SEBS with extreme hardness, and the blends obtained with these materials.[ES] TGA analysis (thermogravimetric analysis) allows obtaining thermal information from polymers’ blends that have been studied in this work.

Information and communication technologies applied to programming flexible manufacturing systems.

[EN] The quantitative analysis of flexible manufacturing systems can be obtained using different techniques from mathematical modeling. This way a reconfiguration of the cell is tried, cradle in the continuous improvement of the same one. These models can be divided in three categories: static and determinist models, queuing models and simulation by computer. The discreet simulation of events in flexible manufacturing systems allows reconstructing with great detail complex operations, incorporating characteristic as plant distribution, transports and planning of production, allowing the redesign and continuous improvement of the system, non possible with the static models or queuing models.[ES] El análisis cuantitativo de sistemas de fabricación flexible puede ser logrado utilizando diferentes técnicas de modelado matemático. De esta manera se pretende una reconfiguración de la célula, basada en la mejora continua de la misma. Estos modelos pueden ser divididos en tres categorías: modelos estáticos y deterministas, modelos de colas y simulación por ordenador. La simulación discreta de eventos en sistemas de fabricación flexible permite reconstruir con gran detalle operaciones complejas, incorporando características como distribución en planta, transportes y planificación de producción, permitiendo el rediseño y mejora continua del sistema, no posible con los modelos estáticos o de colas.Juárez Varón, D.; Peydro, MA.; Ferrándiz Bou, S.; Mengual Recuerda, A.

Application of concurrent engineering in product and process design

Traditional methods applied to the development of new products are becoming obsolete, being necessary advanced methods based on a new approach that allows work cooperatively. This is called Concurrent Engineering and this paper intends to carry out a review of the integration of this discipline in the new ways of working. The main objective of the new forms of work is to systematize the design by interdisciplinary teams simultaneously working the products, the processes, getting the right design, with a corresponding reduction in costs and time. The introduction of CAPP systems (Computer Aided Process Planning) facilitates process design tools. Therefore, some previous work incorporating such systems are included.Juárez Varón, D.; Segui Llinares, VJ.; Mengual Recuerda, A.; Ferrándiz Bou, S. (2015).

Concurrent engineering applied to key industrial sectors

The use of advanced techniques in work, such as concurrent engineering, on the development of projects implies that all areas involved participate from the start of the primary phases. Getting a correct product is the main target, with an estimated term and controlled and reduced costs. Working with a complex product within a context in design and manufacturing in a company in a highly competitive market, involves the problem domain as a key issue. In this paper, the development of concurrent engineering is discussed in various industrial sectors, complex sectors with high competence, that require tools and a vision aimed towards the optimization of design and development of the products that are carried out in these industrial sectors.Juárez Varón, D.; Segui Llinares, VJ.; Mengual Recuerda, A.; Ferrándiz Bou, S.
