Do you trust me as a blogger and Responsible Social Media Participant? - Narayana Rao

Do you trust me as a blogger and Responsible Social Media  Participant?

Are references provided by me in my online articles/blog posts sufficient and reliable?
Are my opinions clearly identified from facts or opinions expressed by others in their print or online articles?

Your opinion and suggestions will help me to improve my writing practice and rectify the errors and mistakes being made by me.

This query is prompted by the article written by Mr. Anurag Mehrotra, President and MD, Ford India, in Brand Equity paper of 10 January 2018. He wrote "finding information that's objective and fact-based has never been more difficult." People don't know who to trust or in whom to place their hope.

I actively participate in Google+, FaceBook, Linkedin and Twitter and also in Whatsapp sharing my blog posts, current as well as old ones and YouTube videos. I spend considerable time in the activity as I feel, I am doing a significant activity that way as every day thousand +  read my blog articles. But it is important to know the suggestions of readers in a systematic invited way to improve my writing and communication.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Industrial Engineering 4.0 - Making Connected Engineering Systems More Productive

Industrial Engineering 4.0  was proposed as a parallel development in Industrial Engineering to take care of productivity of  engineering (production) systems in the era of Industry 4.0 Technology Set by Prof. K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao (Professor, National Institute of Industrial Engineering). Subsequent to the development of the idea, the Google search revealed that the term was already coined and used in Germany in 2016. But the digital content available on the topic has not provided enough explanation of Industrial Engineering 4.0. A project was initiated by Prof. Rao to elaborate the subject content of Industrial Engineering 4.0. The prime objective of Industrial Engineering 4.0 is to make connected engineering systems more productive.

You can see reference to Industrial Engineering 4.0 in the following announcement about a seminar on 28 November 2017 in Germany.

Lecture event of the Friends of Industry 4.0

On Tuesday, 28. November 2017, at 19:30 clock we would like to cordially invite you to a lecture by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Köbler, Professor of Industrial Production Technology, Digital Factory, Production Organization and Production Planning at the Faculty of Business Administration and Industrial Engineering of the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg invite to the Aula of the Gewerbliche Schule Lahr.

Companies have to constantly increase their productivity due to high competitive pressure. One area that is constantly increasing is industrial engineering. Especially in the course of digitization and networking of corporate processes, the lecture sheds light on how Industry 4.0 affects industrial engineering. The approach is to design an Industrial Engineering 4.0 that combines the advances of Industry 4.0 and the digital factory. In detail, the visions and basic requirements of Industrie 4.0, the change to product-oriented production planning and the gradual networking in the company are presented. Furthermore, Prof. Köbler talks about model platforms of Industry 4.0, new ways of information-driven production and the transformation from a conventional to a digital production company.

We would be pleased to welcome you at the event as guests at the Gewerbliche Schule Lahr. Admission is free. A donation in favor of the school partnership with Alajuela / Costa Rica is requested. I would be very grateful if you would forward the invitation to other interested people.

Sincerely, Bernd Wiedmann
Principal of the GS Lahr and managing director of the association

Productivity Improvement - “Industry 4.0, Leapfrog Opportunity for India” - Productivity Week Theme - India 2018

12 to 18, February 2018 is the Productivity Week in India

“Industry 4.0, Leapfrog Opportunity for India” - Productivity Week Theme - India 2018

National Productivity Council - India - Theme Paper

http://www.npcindia.gov.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Theme-Paper-2017-18.pdf

What is Industry 4.0?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is using data captured by sensors in products and manufacturing equipment, analyzing to get information and using that information to automatically start and stop machines that include robots to d manufacturing and maintenance operations. This will improve productivity, quality and maintainablity. It is a revolution in manufacturing technologies brought about by international networking between things that facilitate communication and action. So the productivity of man can further go up due more efficient and effective connected machine net work and standard of living of the people is expected to go up substantially. Some countries are in the forefront in this revolution already with number of patents and factories that implemented these technologies.

NPC is driving Industry 4.0 in India through the productivity week celebration of 2018

The Fourth Industrial Revolution will result in the “Smart Factory”, which is characterized by versatility (flexibility and mass customization), resource efficiency, high incomes and  human friendly work environment (less discomfort to human operators) and digital integration with business partners.


Smart manufacturing - Benefits:
• Additional Revenue (Top line improvement)
• Lower Cost (Bottom line improvement)  through:

• Enabling Industrial Companies to redesign and optimize customer relationship.
• Enabling Industrial Companies to redesign and optimize the production process
• Visibility of  the status of all aspects of production system in real time
• By improving logistics processes and making them also  leaner
• Reduced inventories
• Maintenance processes standardization and optimization
• 100% traceability

Different  technologies of Industry  4.0 are available to choose and implement  based on the relevance, cost-effectiveness, and impact on productivity enhancement based on the current systems of organizations

• Additive Manufacturing – 3D Printing
• Sensors
• Robots (auto + co-bots)
• Simulation
• Augmented reality
• Cloud Computing
• Big Data and Analytics
• Industrial Internet
• Horizontal and vertical integration

Cyber security is being strengthened to protect the information of the industrial companies that is stored and transmitted in the digital data stores (warehouses) and communication networks.

Productivity Science - Productivity Engineering - Productivity Management Framework in Productivity Improvement Through Industry 4.0

Productivity Science

Technology Change and Productivity

Changes in technology are the only source of permanent increases in productivity, but a number of transient factors can affect both true and "measured" productivity. For example, workers may work harder during periods of high demand and firms may use their capital assets more intensively by running factories for extra shifts; both factors can lead measured productivity to be too high relative to actual technological progress. Similarly, during periods of high demand, productivity can also rise due to increasing returns to scale. But,  the effect of transient factors is not permanent.
http://www.nber.org/digest/oct01/w8359.html

So permanent productivity improvement is brought about by engineering changes, procedure changes in service processes as well as management processes.

Industry 4.0 is offering number of new technologies and there technologies are to be incorporated into manufacturing and other engineering and business processes to increase effetiveness and efficiency. Management of incorporating the new technology and operating the redesigned facilities are also important to realize the benefits of Industry 4.0. Hence productivity engineering and productivity management also are involved.

Industrial Engineering 4.0 - IE in the Era of Industry 4.0 - The German Initiative

Industry 4.0 is a German initiative.  Industrial Engineering 4.0 is also German initiative.


Sources for Learning about it.

 successful companies need Human-Oriented Productivity Management that balances companies' demands on productivity and employee demands on their work and work environment. The REFA methodology provides suitable methods and tools for work organization and personnel management. Currently, the REFA Institute is developing a new REFA Compendium for an innovative work organization that will enable companies to tackle the new challenges of a digitized work environment. The first volume "Work Organization of Successful Companies - Change in the Working World" has recently been published by Carl Hanser Verlag.

Departure to a smart enterprise - opportunities and challenges of Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0
Industrial Engineering in Times of Industry 4.0
- Part 1
Digitalization and Industry 4.0 bring new technologies and concepts and should be the solution for companies of the future. However, it is often unclear to companies what added value concrete solutions can bring to their operations, which framework conditions must be met and how the change can be made. This article series presents the challenges for companies and industrial engineering for current fields of action of Industry 4.0 and shows possible solutions.

The Industrial Engineer as designer, optimizer and developer of the operational processes is particularly challenged by the new solutions of digitization and Industry 4.0. He needs the ability to differentiate new technologies  and to grasp the implications for his own company. The topics of Industry 4.0 are complex.  The results of a study by the Academy of Engineering Sciences (acatech) illustrate this [10]. Here companies see above all the topics of the data analysis, the process management and the interdisciplinary acting as important factors for the conversion of new solutions,
In addition to the use of new technological aids, the sustainable implementation of Industry 4.0 also requires organizational development as well as the education and training  of managers and employees so that new systems can be integrated smoothly into the work process.

Industrial engineering is therefore has a chance to partner in the change right from inception. The holistic consideration of the company is increasingly coming into focus, as otherwise a sustainable design and implementation of an Industrie 4.0 solution can not take place. The interdisciplinary nature of the tasks and new requirements for the Industrial Engineer are made clear by the REFA House of Industrial Engineering (Work data management is brought into the IE concerns - I would say on one side productivity analytics is to be developed. The other side is productivity analysis and improvement of data capture, storage, analysis and action)

Participants of the 5th IE symposium (2014) in Dortmund agree:
Industrial Engineers also indispensable in Industry 4.0

Conferences & Conferences (83) > Industrial Engineering (70) > Industrial Engineers also indispensable in Industry 4.0

The changes in the world of work due to Industry 4.0 were the focus of the 5th Dortmund IE Conference on June 5, 2014, hosted by the German MTM Association e. V., the Institute for Production Systems (IPS) of the TU Dortmund and the RIF e. V. Institute of Research and Transfer. More than 250 participants experienced exciting lectures and discussions about the digital factory, human-robot cooperation, industrial data mining and industrial engineering as an important design factor in Industry 4.0.

The main topics of the IE conferences in Dortmund since the first event in 2006 reflect a good deal the development of industrial engineering in Germany. Thus, the methods and tools of the IE under the terms Lean and holistic production system celebrated a rebirth. Later it was about the position determination "Between Taylor and Toyota". In 2010, under the slogan "Prospective planning and continuous improvement", the new role of the Industrial Engineer as process manager, who also has system and problem-solving competence in addition to the methodological competence, came into focus. The symposium 2012 was dedicated to the topic "developing and developing core competence". Not a year later, the beginning of a new era was proclaimed for production work in Germany: Industry 4.0,


Smart Factory: evolution instead of revolution

For Prof. dr. Jochen Deuse, head of the Institute for Production Systems of the TU Dortmund, is certain that the renaissance of IE has not ended with Industry 4.0. "The industrial revolution will change many things - and the Industrial Engineers will have to adapt to it," he emphasized at the beginning of the symposium. Which design paradigm prevails in the industry in the end - the leading organization-centered with Lean Management and Toyota Production System or the technology-centered Industry 4.0 - he dares to make any prognosis. One thing, however, was clear to him: man, technology and organization must also be brought into harmony in the factories of the future - an original task of industrial engineering.

In industrial engineering, product productivity engineering has to develop as an area of practice. Industrial engineers focus on increasing the productivity of processes and in that process identify improvements in machines and equipment that increase the productivity of the process under evaluation. This knowledge can be used in the development and design stages of machines and equipment. Hence within the industrial engineering profession, product productivity engineers and process productivity engineers can interact and exchange ideas and take up new development and design projects to create machines and equipment that provide higher productivity.
