1.0  Introduction

Hyundai Translead is one of the companies own by Hyundai Motor Company Korea that run in United States. It produces trailer manufacturing. Although Hyundai is known for their advance in robotic automation, however Hyundai Translead is not using robot on line H. Hyundai Translead is a leading manufacturer of dry and refrigerated van trailers, domestic containers, container chassis and converter dollies for the North American transportation industry. It was established in San Diego, CA in November 1989 by the name Hyundai Precision America Incorporated with manufacturing facilities in Tijuana, Mexico.  [1]. 1996, the company was the first major trailer manufacturer in North America to receive ISO: 9001 Certification, which was awarded for consistent and documented quality in manufacturing, and has earned re-certification every year since.

Hyundai Translead was established in San Diego, CA in November 1989 by the name Hyundai Precision America Incorporated with manufacturing facilities in Tijuana, Mexico. In March, 2001 the company had changes its name to Hyundai Translead and by November 2002 the company has come out with two US patent: new redesigned variable height gooseneck patent and new method for fabricating reinforced sliding gear track holes. In October 2004, HT has come out with prototype testing capabilities expend with the additions of increase strain gauging, photo stress technology and finite element analysis modelling. In March 2005, with new warehouse building and the re-engineering of sub-assembly component manufacturing area, the company production capability was increased by 25%.   Here, the case study at Hyundai Translead is used to see the element of intelligent manufacturing. There are three cases will be discussed and elaborate shown in Figure 1

Case study: How Lean Manufacturing Failed

Case study: How Lean Manufacturing Failed

Lean is a powerful organization and manufacturing model that most experts agree could be the dominant paradigm worldwide in the next five to 10 years. Among the benefit of using lean manufacturing is to lower the production cost, as well as effective use of space and equipment. Benefit of lean can be categorized as;

•          Improved Customer Service; delivering exactly what the customer wants when they want it.
•         Improved Productivity; Improvements in throughput and value add per person.
•         Quality; Reductions in defects and rework.
•          Innovation; staff are fully involved so improved morale and participation in the business
•        Reduced Waste; Less transport, moving, waiting, space, and physical waste.
•          Improved Lead Times; Business able to respond quicker, quicker set ups, fewer delays.
•         Improved Stock Turns; Less work in progress and Inventory, so less capital tied up.

Lean manufacturing focus on eliminate the seven wastes there are: transportation, overproduction, motion, waiting, inventory, defect and over processing. However, current lean implementation failure rates—well over 50 percent according to many lean advocates and professionals—are much too high for this to happen.

Design for the Environment

Abstract

This paper consist the Design for the Environment (DfE) in all the concept and method that relate to DfE for design practice that seek to reduce the environmental impact of product and process.  This study tried to determine the benefit of DfE to the company or manufacturer. The method that include in DfE such as the design, life cycle, Product Life cycle (PLC) approach, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and how the DfE concept implement in real life product. However, in this study it just focuses on Hybrid car. In this study it shows that there is a compulsory DfE concept in order to develop the Sustainability Development. At the same time, Multi global companies should play the role of ‘go green’ concept to educate their consumer by the implementation of “green technology” and “green concept” in their product.

Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)

Reinforcements

            The role of the reinforcement in a composite material is fundamentally one of increasing the mechanical properties of the neat resin system. All of the different fibres used in composites have different properties and so affect the properties of the composite in different ways. However, individual fibres or fibre bundles can only be used on their own in a few processes such as filament winding. For most other applications, the fibres need to be arranged into some form of sheet, known as a fabric, to make handling possible. Different ways for assembling fibres into sheets and the variety of fibre orientations possible lead to there being many different types of fabrics, each of which has its own characteristics.

Figure 1: Satay Fish

Based on an order by the Minister of Agriculture in 2001, FAMA was asked to prepare a research about the potential of fish based industries. The research started at 1 February 2002 to Mei 2002 in Malaysia. From the research, some conclusion been made:

Therefore, it is expected that this fishery products will be a large agricultural sector in general and thus will increase demand for this product in particular. It includes

·         health food

·         food safety

·         food quality

·         Interesting performances (including packaging)

·         Easy to obtain food (convenience foods)

·         Fast food / ready to cook

·         Easy to get

Apple Computer versus Apple Computer

1.0  Overview

Steve Job was born on 24 February 1955. He was co-founder of Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak in 1976 when he was only 21. Interesting story about the founded of Apple Computer started in the Job’s family garage and funded by selling his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak sold his beloved scientific calculator. With the selling of first Apple 1 of $666.66, their first model earned them $774,000. Apple II sales made an incredible record of $139 million, 700% increased three years later. By 1980, Apple Computer became a publically traded company worth $1.2 billon on the very first day of trading [1]. This in where John Sculley of PepsiCo join Apple Computer as Apple’s President.
