Abstract

This study aims to develop an optimization scheme that contributes to the production of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics using the grey wolf optimization approach. Different from other optimization schemes such as the Taguchi method, which takes some time to compute and use, this grey wolf optimization approach introduced a fast convergence scheme to reduce computation time thereby making its implementation in the factory very interesting. Data used for the analysis was obtained from a doctoral thesis via an experimental approach. Four responses were considered in this work, namely the torque, delamination at entry and exit, eccentricity and thrust force. A spreadsheet was used to implement the computational procedure of the grey wolf optimization algorithm. In using the wolves, at the initial level, the starting point was a zero where hunting had not begun and the prey had just entered the park, which is within the territory of the grey wolves. With this in mind, real life is mimicked and such data gathered would aid precise decision-making. The results revealed the feasibility of the approach and convergence was obtained at the tenth iteration with the best fitness value at 9020785071. It is expected that the findings from this work will be useful as a method for planning in production planning and policy development for the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic industry. This study is a noteworthy contribution to the production development of CFRPs where the grey wolf algorithm is used to analyze the problem. In addition, evidence of the responses determining the quality of drilled products is provided.

Abstract

Wear performance has been evaluated for mechanical equipment using normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance, but aspect ratios have been traditionally ignored in the literature. Also, limited studies have analyzed wear performance with sparse information. In this study, a grey relational analysis (GRA) technique is proposed for the wear performance analysis of nylon 6/boron nitride composite using aspect ratios. A complete divergence is made from the literature where the aspect ratios of the particulate weight of the composite, normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance are treated in direct and aspect ratios of 12 cases where the reciprocals of factors, their squares and cubes are considered. Results show that the proposed method of GRA is feasible and offers an adequate illustration of the indices of the parameters of the wear process as opposed to the present method of Taguchi that exists in the literature. A key result is from case 2, which shows that experimental trial 9 with the grey relational grade of 1.00 has the lowest wear rate. The corresponding values of the parameters are 0.05 of the 1/NL parameter, while the SD parameter is 500. This is interpreted as 0.05N-1 of the reciprocal of normal load and 500m for the sliding distance. The principal contribution of this research is the introduction of the grey relational analysis to reduce the wear rate of nylon 6-boron nitride composite. The proposed method is useful as a planning tool for the maintenance engineer to monitor the health of equipment in practice.

Abstract

Packaging industries fabricate and transport products in wrapped, sealed, and cushioned containers and boxes on roads, often through fossil-fuelled vehicles that emit carbons. Thus, decarbonization and net zero emission drive are compelling for these vehicles. This paper proposes a robust green logistics interaction model for monitoring and reducing exhaust pipe emissions in an uncertain environment. It uses a hybrid method known as fuzzy-0/1-KDP-PROMETHEE (Fuzzy-0/1 Knapsack dynamic programming-Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) approach to concurrently reduce uncertainty, optimize the capacity of the knapsack and establish the preferred option among the parameters of green logistic. Both PROMETHEE I and II were introduced and tested using logistics data from an Indian environment based on secondary data. The method works by first reducing the effect of uncertainty on the model outcomes. This was achieved by establishing the output space as the fuzzy state, creating fuzzy rules, and mapping degrees to rules. Then, the degrees are used to maximize, ensuring that the weighted sum is not greater than the capacity of the Knapsack. The outcome is then regarded as the element of the green logistics exhaust emission process. The results obtained from the analysis, using the replacement of fuzzy expert (triangular) with fuzzy extent (trapezoidal), fuzzy geometric mean (triangular), and fuzzy geometric mean (trapezoidal) reveal that the fuzzy-0/1-KDP-PROMETHEE method adequately represents the score obtained using the data set from the exhaust emissions.

Abstract

Presently, in friction drilling optimization schemes, quick convergence of solutions and simplicity of methods are still challenging. These issues are drawbacks in obtaining the maximum potential benefits from the optimization process. Therefore, this paper applies a new optimization method, Harris Hawk optimization to the thermal drilling process of AISI 304 stainless steel. The algorithm minimizes the axial force, determination error, radial force, and radial error and maximizes the bushing length as the major output of the process. The proposed approach was tested with experimental data obtained from the literature. The obtained results indicate that the optimal production is feasible. An example is given here of the results of the input parameters for the minimum axial force, which is as follows: After 500 iterations, the optimal axial force yields a tool cylindrical region diameter of 5.78593 mm, a friction angle of 60 degrees, a friction contact area ratio of 57.7082, workpiece thickness of 3 mm, feed rate of 140 mm/min and rotational speed of 3002.85 rpm, which can be applied. The results assist engineers in implementing optimal conditions for the drilling process. The outcome of this study strengthens decisions to establish thresholds of values that are less or more than expected thereby providing a basis for comparison, reward, and reprimand for workers. Thus the drilling process can be optimized.

Abstract

In the drilling operation, defects such as delamination at exit and entry are very disturbing responses that impact the efficiency of the drilling process. Without control, an exponential growth in the amount of drilled components with defect quantities may result. Thus, the process engineer has input in attaining the desired production levels for components in the drilling process. Consequently, this article deploys a novel method of data envelopment analysis to evaluate the relative efficiency of the drilling process in reducing the defects possible in the producing components from the CFRP composites. The high-speed steel drill bits were utilized to process the CFPs, while the responses considered are the entry and exit determination, thrust force, and torque, among others. Literature experimental data in twenty-seven experimental counts were summarized into fewer groups and processed through the data envelopment analysis method. The results show that capturing the CFRP composite responses is feasible, providing an opportunity for enhanced efficiency and a situation where undesirable defects in the CFRP composite production process may be eradicated. The article’s uniqueness and primary value are in being the foremost article in offering an updated vast representation of the comparative efficiency of CFRP composite parameters within the literature for the composite area. The work adds value to the CFRP composite literature by envisaging and understanding the comparative efficiency for the parameters, identifying and separating the best from the worst decision-making unit. It also reveals how the parameters are linked by their relative placements. The article's novelty is that using data envelopment to compare the efficiency in reducing drilling defects such as entry and exit determination, among others. The method’s utility is to provide information for cost-effective drilling operations during the planning and control phases of the operation.

Abstract

With the bottling plant facing safety impacts, the commitment toward zero levels of accidents needs to be evaluated. However, the perception and measurement of safety conformity by the safety manager that is subjected to imprecision and uncertainty are hardly evaluated correctly with the present dominant approach of using crisp numeric values. This article presents a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to reduce the imprecision and uncertainty in the safety conformity multicriteria decision-making results. The method establishes and selects the best safety conformity factors in alignment with different criteria within the segments of a Nigerian bottling plant. The fuzzy synthetic extent concerning each alternative, the degree of possibility, prioritizing weights, and the choice of the best criterion were judged based on the maximum weight in the FAHP evaluation process. The average weight criterion was used to distinguish the best from the worst units within each segment. The results reveal the criteria weights as 0.4937 for haulage drillers (warehouse), 0.3038 for palletizers (manufacturing corridor), 0.3333 for syrup mixers/lab technicians for quality assurance, and no choice of the best parameter for the fleet workshop. However, the highest weight for the contractors is 0.3201, which is for contractor 1. To compare the best and worst criteria in the present study and a literature source, the optimal criteria choices of safety conformity conflicted in all the segments. The principal difference between the present method and the analytic hierarchy process approach is integrating fuzzy application to the analytical hierarchy process to provide a more accurate safety conformity assessment, yielding reliable and informative results representing the vagueness of the bottling process decision-making process. This unique approach provides an opportunity for the production workers to work more collaboratively towards attaining new solutions to the uncertainty and imprecision problem in safety conformity for the bottling plant.

Abstract

Precise monitoring of vehicle emissions in green logistics, focusing on the contributions of vehicles from packing industries, is crucial for many issues. It helps to understand the total emissions and gain insights into the mechanism of vehicle-associated environmental concerns. Notwithstanding, a key issue when monitoring vehicle emissions is the effective discrimination problem for different patterns generated from the parameters. Data from the packing industry are available from distribution networks but its pattern cannot be discriminated. Given this background, this article presents a new method of the orthogonal array-based rough set to discern patterns of the parametric behaviors to monitor emissions from vehicle exhausts in the packing industry. The proposed method is based on an Indian logistics network and delivery system data, which was obtained from previous work in the literature. By setting controls on the parameters of the packing industry which includes revenue obtained, packing units sold, growth rate, carbon-dioxide equivalent, materials utilized, and quantity consumed, the method was able to discern the patterns of the parametric behavior. The orthogonal arrays, which are developed, form factors (parameters) and levels to ascertain a balanced and uniform analysis of the various groups of options. Indiscernibility and approximation concepts of fuzzy sets are then applied to arrive at the outcome. Unlike previous studies, this study eliminates the need for tracking data, assumptions, and external information to establish the set membership. However, it utilizes the available information within the data. The rough set analysis indicates that there are no discernable patterns or rules that distinguish between "Yes" and "No" decisions. The method of rough set illustrated in this work shows the feasibility of the approach in the Indian packing industry. The method is useful for the logistics manager and government agencies responsible for the control of vehicle-generated greenhouse emissions.

Abstract

In this study, we propose the data envelopment analysis method as a scheme to determine the technical efficiency of a set of parametric inputs of the water absorption process when developing the oil palm particulate composite treated with an alkali solution. Although alkali-treated oil palm bunch composites have been analyzed previously for water absorption, a single parameter such as water absorption rate prevails in analyses. Unfortunately, multiple inputs and multiple outputs have been ignored and the efficiency evaluation of such composites has been missing in the literature. To address this gap, the present study exploits the linear programming theory and formulated models for each decision-making unit and solves that formulation for optimum value determination for inputs of the composites. This study investigates the technical efficiency of the water absorption in the oil palm empty fruit bunch composite development process. Overall, judging the performance of the parameters regarding the frequency of attaining 100% efficiency, analysis was performed on the average performance of all parameters in all sixteen scenarios. In this regard, the efficiency of particulate loading was 36.1%, for composite weight plus mold, it was 96.3% and for initial weight, the average efficiency score was 67.8%. It is suggestive that composite weight plus mold with an average efficiency of 96.3% is the best parameter while particulate loading with 36.1% is the worst parameter. Thus result is consistent with the result based on each scenario. From the perspective of DMUs, DMU11 with a score of 78.4% is the best ranking unit while DMU14 is the work ranking unit with an efficiency score of 60.9%. Besides, the average efficiency score for all the DMUs is 66.7%. The work is important to composite development engineers and for policy decision-making.

Abstract

This paper proposes three methods for the joint optimization and selection of parameters in controlling the exhaust emission from logistics and packing industries, using the Taguchi-VIKOR, Taguchi-Pareto-VIKOR, and Taguchi-ABC-VIKOR methods. From the delta values of the Taguchi method, parameters F, E, A, B, C, and D were placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th with delta values of 59.0066, 7.5263, 7.5261, 0.1150, 0.1113 and 0.1107, respectively. The delta ratio, delta variability, mean delta value and median delta value are 58.8959, 12.3993, and 3.8206, respectively. Furthermore, the optimal parametric setting is A1B1C1D1E1F1, which means 52 million dollars for revenue, 127 billion packing units, 0.77 optimal growth rate, 1.5 units of materials, 5581 kilotons of quantity consumed and 1 unit of carbon dioxide equivalent of packing materials. The methods are the cornerstone for evaluating the high-performing packing factor associated with greenhouse gas emissions and concurrently obtaining optimized values for packing enterprises to reduce emissions. Besides, and differently from earlier studies, methods such as Pareto, ABC, and VIKOR differentiate the alternative coupled Taguchi methods proposed in the literature. In addition, the following novel elements of the Taguchi method are introduced: Delta ratio, delta variability, mean delta value, delta/HOPV, delta/LOPV, and delta/AOPV. The results suggest that the developed methods adequately represent the optimized values and ranks obtained using the field data set from literature.

Abstract

This research proposes a new method of modified Taguchi method based on aspect ratios of the parameters integrated with the present worth method for the determination of optimal parametric setting during the friction stir welding process. As a cornerstone feature in the optimization procedure, aspect ratios are uniquely formulated where single parameters are replaced with products of parameters, squares of a particular parameter multiplied by a parameter, and only squares of each parameter information that represent inputs for the determination of the orthogonal matrix, heading to the optimal parametric setting computations, ranks, and delta determination. A wide range of 83 formulations was considered. Unlike previous research, this article accounts for multiple combinations of aspect ratios greater than the members of parameters present in the factor-level framework in the traditional setting of the Taguchi scheme. A principal result reveals that when the parameters were interchanged from A, B, and C to ABC, A2C, A2 B, A2, B2, and C2, indicating tool till angle, tool rotational speed, and welding speed for A, B and C, respectively, the optimal parametric setting was 462000 (0.rpm.mm/min), 990 (0.mm/min), 12600 (0.rpm.90), 1960000rpm, 12100mm/min2. The result assists welding engineers in implementing optimal decisions during friction stir welding activities. The findings of this study stimulate welding engineers to establish sources of poor-quality welds and optimize the outputs while reducing welding costs.
