The environmental sustainability of the additive manufacturing (AM) process has been a trend in recent years. As well as the adoption of the AM process in traditional manufacturing environments to take advantage of the customization offered by this technology. Similar studies proposed the AM environmental sustainble analysis from a life cycle, circ...

The cost impact of implementing additive manufacturing (AM) in the fabrication process is nowadays an issue. The scope of this research is to establish a cost model framework that can predict the cost of a piece in a low to medium batch considering fused deposition modelling (FDM) printing parameters. Every enterprise wants to increase its internal...

The purpose of this paper is to build up and implement a framework of a lean performance indicator with collaborative participation. A new indicator derived from OEE is presented, overall process effectiveness (OPE), which measures the effectiveness of an operation process. The action research (AR) methodology was used; collaborative work was done...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a free-form build process in which an object is created adding multiple layers. AM process is characterized by on-demand freeform part manufacturing with multiple materials and not for big production batches. There are different types of additive technologies that are capable of building pieces in diverse materials. F...

Productivity is a measurement of the efficiency of the resources, constant changes in the environment promote that companies regularly measure their activities. This study aims to define a new metric based conceptually on the traditional OEE. The new indicator measures the efficiency of logistic equipment in this case a system of automated handling...

Sustainability is taking on increasing value in the industrial world. This article aims to develop and implement in a cyber-physical system two new KPIs capable of transferring the current concept of Supply Chain (SC) to a Green Supply Chain (GSC), which no longer addresses only the productive and economic issues of traditional SC, but also address...

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a key performance indicator used to measure equipment productivity. The purpose of this study is to review and analyze the evolution of OEE, present modifications made over the original model and identify future development areas. This paper presents a systematic literature review; a structured and transpare...

The research trend in additive manufacturing (AM) has evolved over the past 30 years, from patents, advances in the design, and layer-by-layer materials, to technologies. However, this evolution is faced with some barriers, such as the implementation of additive manufacturing (AM) in operations, its productivity limitations, and economic and social...

Este artículo describe el diseño y prueba experimental de bloques ecológicos a base de materiales orgánicos e inorgánicos. Para el desarrollo de este proyecto, se formularon dos diseños experimentales para la fabricación de bloques especificando las dimensiones de los bloques, proporciones, materiales, y peso de los mismos, para luego llevar esos d...
