THE MEASUREMENT OF HERZBERG’ EMPLOYEES SATISFACTION USING KANO METHOD

This study is focused on how to measure and find out the employees satisfaction. Using Kano method and Likert scale which is developed in the questionnaire based on Herzberg theory related to Hygiene and Motivator factors, the results data of survey show inconsistency to each others. To find out what the elements for improvement priorities required by company, this study therefore proposes the Kano Manipulating Graph. This graph is generated based on Kano method related to quality attributes. The graphs show that the elements of Herzberg’s Hygiene factors related to employees satisfaction can be constructed in quadrant of the Dissatisfaction (DS↑) high and Not-Satisfaction (CS’↑) high toward Dysfunctional (DF↑) and Not-Functional (F’↑) high. In this study, the element of Hygiene factors related to supervisory work and activities for employees’ consultancy is the main improvement factor that should be taken immediately by company as a first priority

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF CRANIOPLASTY PROSTHESES: FIT EVALUATION BETWEEN PHANTOM-BASED HAPTIC ENVIRONMENT AND MATERIALISE 3-MATIC SOFTWARE

Two different design methods for customized cranioplasty prostheses are presented in this paper. The first approach is designing the digital model of the cranial implants in a haptic environment, utilizing a combination of a PHANToM haptic device and a freeform software called Claytools. The other method makes use of a software solution provided by Materialise Inc. known as 3-matic. Next, the skull models and the designed implants are fabricated via stereolitography (SLA). Finally, the implants’ fit over the skull models are evaluated to determine the most accurate method

THE PERFORMANCE OF LOW COST CUTTING TOOLS WHEN MACHINING HARDENED STEEL OF 60 HRC

Hard turning is a topic of great interest in today’s industrial production and scientific research. The hard turning technology has the potential for improving productivity against grinding in the manufacturing process. Today, tool manufacturers are constantly developing new combinations of coatings and substrates to precisely match different workpiece materials and operations. Nevertheless, the suitability of coated mixed ceramic (AI2O3 + TiCN) cutting tools when hard turning AISI D2 cold work tool steel (60 HRC) is yet to be investigated. An understanding of the tool life and wear mechanisms, surface integrity produced by coated mixed ceramic cutting tools will give an alternative to the manufacturing industries to exploit low costs cutting tools in hard turning of AISI D2 (60 HRC). The noticeable trend of the tool life was observed at test conditions where the cutting speed is at 100 m/min instead of 140 m/min or 200 m/min. The wear mechanism of coated mixed ceramic cutting tools with TiN is subjected to abrasion, adhesion, chipping and notching, especially when machining at high cutting speed of 200 m/min

EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TIN COMPOSITE (TIN, RICE HUSK AND SILICON CARBIDE) FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION TOOLING

Experimental specimens were fabricated using Tin (Sn) as core material while silicon carbide and rice husk acted as reinforced materials to increase the specimen’s hardness. Silicon carbide and rice husk were reinforced in the Tin using metal casting process (mold plate casting). The specimen mold plate was cut using laser cutting machine and the material plate used was Aluminum. After metal casting process has been completed, the specimen in the mould were pressed using the hot press molding machine. Two types of testing were used in this study namely tensile test and hardness test. Three specimens have been used for each test. The result for the testings have been observed and analyzed based on their tensile strength and material hardness. It has been found that the tensile strength for the composite material is higher than the initial Tin (Sn), as well as its hardness. However, the mixing technique could have been improved to obtain better SiC and rice husk distribution
