<![CDATA[This study investigates the development of an efficient method for establishing virtual reality (VR) educational laboratories, focusing on enhancing teaching outcomes in technical fields exemplified through English classes. The integration of VR in technical education has been proven to improve learning efficiency, with studies showing a learning rate increase of 75-90% and a knowledge acquisition speed of up to four times faster. Despite these benefits, prolonged VR exposure can result in discomforts such as dizziness, eye strain, and cognitive fatigue. This study proposes a Fibonacci-based approach to structure VR learning sessions to address these challenges. By organizing session intervals according to the Fibonacci sequence and incorporating structured breaks, this method supports optimal cognitive processing, minimizes physical discomfort, and allows for smoother transitions between the virtual and real environments. A practical experiment involving 24 students was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach. The results revealed statistically significant improvements in learning outcomes and adaptation compared to traditional continuous VR sessions, with a p-value of less than 0.05. These findings suggest that the Fibonacci-based method offers a promising solution to the challenges associated with extended VR exposure in educational settings, enabling more effective and comfortable learning experiences. This approach holds potential for broader application in various technical fields, where VR serves as a tool for enhancing educational outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[Inventory control remains a cornerstone of operational efficiency in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in India, yet systematic evaluation across enterprise classifications—micro, small, and medium has been limited. This study empirically investigates the adoption and effectiveness of key inventory control models, including Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), Just-In-Time (JIT), and ABC analysis, in a cross-sectional sample of 450 SMEs across manufacturing clusters in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat. Findings indicate that microenterprises prefer heuristic and manual methods, whereas medium enterprises exhibit higher adoption rates of quantitative models such as EOQ and JIT. A chi-square analysis confirmed significant differences in model adoption across enterprise classifications. The study further identifies the primary drivers and inhibitors of model adoption, including digital readiness, training levels, and working capital constraints. The implications are crucial for policymakers and practitioners aiming to tailor inventory interventions to SME sub-types. This research bridges a critical gap in inventory literature by aligning control models with real operational contexts within the SME spectrum in India.]]>

<![CDATA[Small and medium-scale manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) in India face increasing competitive pressure due to rising material costs, stringent quality standards, and limited operational resources. Enhancing productivity while maintaining cost efficiency and delivery reliability remains a significant challenge. This study investigates the impact of integrating Lean Six Sigma (LSS), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), selective Industry 4.0 technologies, and energy management practices to improve manufacturing performance in an Indian transformer manufacturing SME. Using a structured case study approach, the research implemented a phased Operational Excellence (OPEX) framework over a six-month period. Value Stream Mapping identified process bottlenecks and excessive non-value-added time, while Six Sigma tools addressed quality variation in the coil winding process. TPM initiatives improved equipment reliability, and a low-cost IoT vibration sensor enabled predictive maintenance. Additionally, an energy audit guided targeted efficiency improvements. The results demonstrate substantial performance gains: production lead time decreased by 28.6% (from 28 to 20 days), coil winding defects were reduced by 60% (from 8.5% to 3.4%), on-time delivery improved from 55% to 85%, Overall Equipment Effectiveness increased by 35% (from 52% to 70.2%), and energy cost per unit declined by 20%. The findings confirm that a pragmatic, integrated OPEX framework can deliver multidimensional productivity gains without requiring large-scale capital investment. This study contributes to the manufacturing and operations management literature by providing empirical evidence that selective Industry 4.0 adoption can effectively complement Lean Six Sigma in SME environments, offering a scalable pathway to sustainable, digitally enabled manufacturing excellence.]]>
