Topic for Ph.D

Dear sir

Thanks for the Suggestion

I am not interested to do Ph.D work in CAD that why i am not going in any design softwares, I am interested in manufacturing

i want to implement the Lean Manufacturing System in the Small and medium scale industries

i just want check the feasiblity of the work or it will be possible or not because i am not getting the expert or guide for the implementation of lean manufacturing

Thanks and waiting for your further suggestions

thanks

You are way behind the learning curve, you are going to have to get your "black belt" in lean management before anyone will even talk to you.

Thaanks for the valuable suggestion sir

Re: "...Those that can't teach inspect."

Ewe deserve naught but reproach, scorn and contempt, being belittled and denigrated to ignominy!

It might very well be that in days gone by, many companies would relegate the "sick, lame, or lazy" to any-and-all inspection tasks (particularly, showing 'sympathy' to those who had lost an arm, a leg, or even an *eye* on the company's fabrication-floor).

NOT ANY MORE!

Many Codes nowadays (for good reason) mandate that Inspection Personnel be trained and certified to various National Standards for the tasks that they perform.

Though some companies continue to 'skirt-the-law', so to speak, most are beginning to see the light, and understand that properly performed inspections (requiring special tools and talents) pay-off in the long haul.

I defy you to submit yourself for Certification-Examination through AWS, ASNT, NACE, or any other Professional body/Society ...
and THEN come back, and make the same (lame!) statement.

As for teachers ... see post #7 {and others} here.

I think what we have here is a professional student.

I agree with Dell, get a job, see what it's like to work for a living, then you won't need to ask us about the value of a PhD.

You can get information about Lean Mfg from this e-mail Moderator@Lean.org.

Please understand that except for one response so far, replies to your question have been pretty negative - you might even perceive them as rude. Don't take it personal - these folks (I believe, and hope!) mean you well and have assumed that you lack experience - which may or may not be the case. All that said, critically look at yourself for any truth in what they said. If none, blow it off and continue your search for more helpful answers. If there is a little (or a lot) of truth then, take some time to examine your goals. Internships, jobs, even contracts (in manufacturing) could be helpful. Also, go to the CAMLS website [at the University of Texas at San Antonio (Texas) http://camls.utsa.edu]. That's the Center for Advanced Manufacturing & Lean Systems [Phone: 210-458-6773; E-mail: camls@utsa.edu] I'm afraid that many of the professors there will have similar biases to those who replied negatively to your question but, the website contains lots of material about their research areas which might be suggestive to you in your search. Personally, I believe that your interest in small firm manufacturing is admirable - although not lucrative. Please keep that in mind. The small guys want to do all the beneficial things that the big guys do but, they need guidelines on how to do it on a shoestring (miniscule) budget. Good luck to you.

Here is a discussion from last year we had about CAM. CAM is obviously the answer to your question, as it is the area where CAD and manufacturing and lean can overlap.

The purpose of lean is to be able to deliver customer satisifaction with maximum efficiency and minimum waste.

S^c = E^max - W^min

The basis of all intelligence is ... Comparison. You can use comparison to try to acheive customer satsifaction. Can you predict customer needs? Can you capture customer dissatisfaction more effectively and constructively?

There is also more to life than objects... What is the customer's subjective experience of the process? How can you change that?
