Despite these machines allowing higher productivity rates compared to single laser machines, they are affected by lower ILCT values, which could be critical for material printability and microstructure. The ILCT values depend both on the process parameter sets and design choices for the parts and play an important role in the Design for Additive Manufacturing approach in L-PBF process. In order to identify the critical range of ILCT for this working condition, an experimental campaign is presented on the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718, which is widely used for the printing of turbomachinery components. The effect of ILCT on the microstructure of the material is evaluated in terms of porosity and melt pool analysis on printed cylinder specimens, considering ILCT decreasing and increa...

Therefore the most important final characteristics of the workpieces are provided by grinding. One of the most investigated issues of this machining method is grinding burns, who change locally the properties of the material. In many industrial applications, nital etching is used to detect grinding burn. Although it is considered a standard, new types of tests are of great interest in order to reduce costs and make online control possible. One of the Non-Destructive Testing methods is Barkhausen Noise Testing (BNT), which is utilized to assess changes in the surface layer of ferromagnetic materials, especially to monitor changes in their hardness and residual stresses. To obtain accurate measures using this technology the Barkhausen probe handling system is essential. Typically the sensor handling system is an Inline/robot component, an automated component, a...

In particular, product quality assurance is surely a very important aspect to be considered when talking about mass production. Laser powder bed fused parts are characterized by specific characteristics, such as quite rough surfaces and internal cavities filled with powder after the part construction. The need to ensure part quality and the importance to guarantee quality to all the parts made within the production line highlights the need to design the part addressing all the criticalities resulting from the manufacturing process, in addition to the ones related to the operative conditions. In this work, the attention is placed on two important topics: part surface inspectability and part cleaning. In particular, part inspectability is a crucial asp...

This kind of transmission involves the accurate matching of the system with the engine characteristics. This paper analyzes the typical design procedure used to develop the transmission system and evaluates the current approach’s critical issues. The paper aims to identify a possible path to improve the system and its customization capacity. It is identified that the critical design stage is the identification of the correct sliding profile for the half pulley of the front assembly of the system. Then, the geometrical parameters of the transmission are accurately identified through a detailed kinematic analysis. The presented kinematic analysis is propaedeutic for developing a mathematical model that defines the rollers’ sliding profile according to the vehicle’s performance.

The normal approach to safety improvement is through Risk Assessment. Unfortunately this approach is strongly limited because the evaluation of the risks is based on evaluator’s experience and expertise and so it is affected by low level of reliability. The aim of this paper is to show how the use of statistical problem solving method, such as Six Sigma, could be useful to improve safety level in working activities. In particular high level of improvement could be obtained by a more structured collection of injuries data considering not only the injuries frequency rate related to the root causes or risks. Following several instructions it could be possible to obtain a database of Risk Indicators based on real data that could be used for a more reliable Risk Assessment.

This is even more important to establish a common language and to drive an organization towards goals being sure at the same time each part of the organization itself is aligned. Measuring performances through a shared and accepted metric is even more critical as a tool to achieve the continuous improvement of traded solutions, design parameters, and processes. It allows one to quantify how much a system is currently providing in terms of outputs and to plan the next steps to achieve the expected performances if a misalignment is detected. Metrics, compared with targets, make the appraiser able to measure advances and next actions to deploy. This paper proposes a system of metrics to drive the choice of design parameters of both physical and nonphysical systems (human organizations for instance) through the decomposition. In this context the quality fun...

The advantages offered by the use of a systematic approach to design include a shorter time to market and the related cost savings for product development. Moreover the use of a common and unique design process allows company designers to work much better as a team and to share duties easily. This gives the company more flexibility enabling it to adapt more readily to the needs of an increasingly competitive market. The cycle time is reduced in terms of trial-and-error time and money-consuming design iterations. Such results can be obtained by simultaneously analyzing all the characteristics of the product and considering the influence of new technical solutions on all these characteristics.

These collaborations allow, on the one hand, to monitor recurrent health emergencies on territories, and on the other hand, they allow national health systems to share information about foreign citizens in transit on their territory. European legislation regarding the processing of personal data places strict constraints on the cross-border transfer of personal data. In this case, companies or organizations, operating on information interchange, must adopt robust mechanisms to verify the adequacy requirements, in order to allow monitoring of security levels, identification of possible intervention actions and preparation of updated security plans for inspection visits required by European standards. In this context, Axiomatic Design allows not only to design medical systems and equipment in compliance with current re...

In addition, handicraft production was highly developed in Uchi Jochi. Urban craft included jewelry, pottery, construction, weaving, carving on various materials, various types of metalworking, etc. This diversity was due to the constant need for supply of many Golden Horde cities. The article provides an overview of the main types of the Golden Horde architectural decor. The study used generalized data from archaeological studies of the cities of the Golden Horde.

The budget ceilings imposed by public finance pose the need to reduce hospitalisation costs, moving patients from treatment to home care as much as possible. This is especially true in the field of pediatric oncology, where a protected family environment offers a variety of benefits to young patients and their families. However, in order to guarantee adequate assistance services, an integrated information system for management must be devised as the center of gravity of a coordinated network of, even heterogeneous, actors. This paper focuses on the identification and evolving development of web services for regulation and control of home administration of drug infusion in pediatric oncology. The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) remains the software architecture of reference, where as the methodological approach is open to a reconsideration of the continuous improvement of the whole process in lig...

Identifying the real machine capability is becoming fundamental as additive manufacturing technologies are starting to substitute conventional manufacturing processes. This aspect holds particularly true in the case of Laser Powder Bed Fusion technology. In this case, the method to investigate and determine the actual machine capabilities still represents an open point. In this paper, we propose an analysis of a well-known test artifact from an Axiomatic Design standpoint; based on the results and the review of the Customer Needs, we develop an improved design which is able to ensure a robust analysis for a reliable machine performance check.

In health care systems, if on the one hand the SOA features allow enriching the offer of services to patients and their families, on the other hand the problem arises of selecting the most appropriate set of web services for homogeneous groups of users or for each individual clinical case. In this paper, we propose a methodology based on the Axiomatic Design for the composition and selection of web services, which are based on the case stories studied, built using semi-structured interviews to different stakeholders involved in the care process. The proposed methodology detects in a systematic way all functional requirements by taking into account the different stakeholders involved in the process and their interactions. Thus, it identifies the interested actors for a specific health protocol, and consider all information...

The field observations have often detected divergent behaviors from theoretical predictions. The basic problem comes from the fact that it is difficult to build scientific models reflecting reality as closely as possible. Axiomatic Design offers us a powerful tool of rational decomposition of a real and complex issue into elementary components. Independence Axiom guarantees that game decomposition will define a set of elementary actions logically consistent and free of redundancies. At the same time, Information Axiom can allow to select among alternative strategies, those that they predict the actions with a higher probability rate of success. In this paper, it is suggested the use of the Axiomatic Design methodology in the Collectively Exhaustive and Mutually Exclusive (CEME) mode, as a tool of analysis of the penalty shoot-out in extra time. This meth...

The need to suggest a new approach to Non-Conformities Management is connected to those situations where a large variety of Non-Conformities is recorded, with a significant number of low-impacting ones; addressing them directly through methods like Root Cause Analysis would often be not economically viable. In this context, the paper discusses Holistic Non-Conformities Reduction (HNCR) approach as a suitable option to address this kind of business situations. In particular, the contribution of this paper is related to the development of HNCR model and the evaluation of how to properly structure the model and the flow that shall be followed. By clustering Non-Conformities into flexible categories to be easily modified, expanded and rearranged through time, the HNCR model allows to identify new critical Non-Conformity families, otherwise hardly detectable. A proof of concept relative to HNCR deployment is presented: 2 different scenarios are introduced, the first being the Non-Conformities management within the extended supply chain of a large pharmaceutical distribution centre, while the second deals with Non-Conformities in the context of a company's new programs development.

Among them, the most important competence is taxation management, which has now become an important lever to stabilize the State's budget and to meet the economic parameters set by the European Agreements. From this perspective, it is crucial to identify a software development mode to reduce the time spent for the implementation/adjustment of the tax payment software application and, at the same time, to minimize the overall risk level. In software development, approximately 40% of time is spent in a series of testing activities: this stage of the development process is mostly placed at the end of the implementation activities. Consequently, since many testing activities have to be waived in order to meet the deadlines for software delivery, applications that are not entirely in compliance with the user's needs and/or entailing non-compliance are more likely to be introduced. This paper focuses on improving the testing process in tax procedures. The proposed method aims to improve the process, by introducing an integrated procedure based on Axiomatic Design. The approach developed will facilitate a reduction both in the testing preparation time and in performing the test cases. In this scenario, it will be possible to optimize the data compilation process, to verify the compliance within the technical specifications as provided by the Italian Revenue Agency, to identify possible critical scenarios with a proactive approach, and to avoid classes of non-conformities.

Despite the increasingly widespread use of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems, especially in presence of chronic diseases, users' needs and requests are often disregarded due to poor customization of solutions. This is mainly due to the lack of truly interoperable tools allowing for horizontal integration between the various medical and specialized instruments. The proposed model works as a useful approach to ensure that the development of new solutions shall be partially guaranteed. The Axiomatic Design method is a suitable tool to identify the best solutions to meet users' needs.
