Cascaded Fuzzy Inference System for Overall Equipment Effectiveness of a Manufacturing Process

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is one of the widely accepted performance evaluation methods most commonly employed for measuring the efficiency of a manufacturing process in a manufacturing industry. It plays a most prominent role in improving the efficiency of a manufacturing process which in turn ensures quality, consistency and productivity. The OEE parameters, availability, performance and quality are not single parameters. But these parameters in turn depend on several other parameters which introduce a cascaded effect in OEE computation. The variation in the value of lowest level parameters propagate to the higher levels making the OEE computation a complex process. To cater such situations, in this paper authors propose cascaded fuzzy inference system for measurement of Overall Equipment Effectiveness. In the simplified model proposed by the authors, only few prominent parameters up to two levels are considered. The model can be easily extended to incorporate more parameters and more levels to render it more realistic

Identification of Geological and Geomorphological Landforms in Thanjavur District Using Remote Sensing & GIS

Abstract — In this Paper Abstract has been researched to study of Identification of Geological & Geomorphological landforms in Thanjavur District using Remote Sensing & GIS Techniques. The Cauvery Delta is located in Thanjavur District. It is one of the important rice bowl of Tamilnadu. The total area of Thanjavur District is about 3396.57 Sq.km. The eastern part of Thanjavur is connected with Bay of Bengal. This study is carried out by using IRSP6 LISS IV Satellite image and Toposheet 1:50000 Scale. From this, the thematic maps (Geomorphology, Geology, and Drainage) are created. The Geomorphological features like Flood Plain, Alluvial plain, Deltaic plain and Eolian plain were studied.Similarly the Geological features like Fluvio marine, alluvial-fluvial, sripermuputhur / Sivaganga formation, Nasal formations were analysed.In the same way, the drainage pattern of Thanjavur district is found and the pattern was Dichotomic Using ARC GIS.
