The Extent of New Product Development Partnership between Universities and th...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The importance of new product development in building both technological and technical capacity of university and firm cannot be overemphasized. Collaborations between HE and industry in NPD is conceived as mutual interaction for skills acquisition and economic improvement. The study was designed to determine the extent of new product development partnership between HEIs and the manufacturing firms. A survey was conducted, and a sample of 400 was drawn from both HE and industry; the data were then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) software of EQS version 6.2.The results revealed that there is weak interaction between HE and industry, also there is no formal partnership between the two on new product development. in order to strengthen the mutual relationship, a conceptual model had been developed after a careful examination and assessment of the key factors of NPD and after preliminary CFA analysis conducted to establish the determinants of the main construct. A nine-factor model was then developed for university and industry. The study therefore recommends that higher education and industry adopt this new model for effective partnership on NPD.

Understanding the Need of Implementation of Lean Techniques in Manufacturing ...ijtsrd
In competitive environment lean manufacturing is necessary in every industry. Lean production is a standard manufacturing mode of the 21st century All the manufacturing industries have put a continuous efforts for its survival in these current world. In order to handle the critical situations manufacturers are trying to implement new and innovative techniques in their manufacturing process. Later on lean was formulated and developed as the solution to the fluctuating and competitive business environment. Due to rapid change in business environment the manufacturing organization are forced to face challenges and complexities in the competition. The concept of lean manufacturing was developed for maximize the resource utilization and minimize the wastes. The main focus of the lean manufacturing is to satisfy customer demands for high quality and low cost. The technique not only identifies the reasons for waste but also helps in its removal through marked principles and guidelines. Lean Manufacturing is an efficient and fast growing approach in the world of competition. Lean manufacturing utilizes a wide range of tools and techniques the choice of tools is based on the requirement. Many parameters contribute success of lean. Organizations which implemented lean manufacturing have higher level of flexibility and competitiveness. However, lean manufacturing provides an environment that is highly conducive to waste minimization. The majority of the study focuses on single aspect of lean element, only very few focuses on more than one aspect of lean elements, but for the successful implementation of lean the organization had to focuses on all the aspects such as Value Stream Mapping VSM , Cellular Manufacturing CM , U line system, Line Balancing, Inventory control, Single Minute Exchange of Dies SMED , Pull System, Kanban, Production Leveling etc., G.

Internationalization and Sustainable Operations: A Broad Investigation of Chi...Scientific Review SR
We investigate if internationalization behaviors encourage sustainable operations of China’s manufacturing firms due to their substantial impact on climate change and special governance modes, and organize a heterogeneity test to clarify what kind of internationalization behaviors can robustly influence such operations. We find that firms with abundant assets and heavy-polluting feature are more committed to sustainable operations. Getting close to international sustainability standards, international auditing standards, and international business all improve sustainable operations. Heterogeneity test further shows that compared with international standards, the positive impact of international business on sustainable operation lacks a robustness, which responds to an argument that for one country, international business acts as a double-edged sword. Overall, this paper reveals internationalization as a key indicator significantly influencing economic, ecological, and social spheres in manufacturing sectors of emerging markets, and complying with well-accepted international standards can be significantly embodied in a more optimistic sustainable operations. However, how to deal with international business in a right manner is a research highlight worthy of ongoing discussion. We focus on different types of internationalization behaviors, and this indicator can theoretically inspire future study to dialectically evaluate the role of internationalization in addressing sustainability problems in emerging markets’ pillar industries.
This paper deals with the applications of optimization principle in optimizing
profits of a production industry using linear programming to examine the production
cost and determine its optimal profit. Linear programming is an operation research
technique which is widely used in finding solutions to managerial decision problems.
However, many enterprises make more use of the trial-and-error method. As such,
firms have been finding it difficult in allocating scarce resources in a manner that will
ensure profit maximization and/or cost minimization.
This paper makse use of secondary data collected from the records of the
Landmark University Bakery on five types of bread produced in the firm which
include Family loaf, sliced family bread, Chocolate loaf, medium size bread, small
size bread. A problem of this nature was identified as a linear programming problem,
formulated in Mathematical terms and solved using AMPL software. The solution
obtained revealed that Landmark bakery unit should concentrate much more in
production of 14,000 loaves of Family loaf and 10,571 loaves of Chocolate bread
while others type should be less produced since their value is turning to zero in order
to achieve a maximum monthly profit of N1,860,000. From the analysis, it was
observed that Family loaf and the Chocolate bread contributed objectively to the
profit. Hence, more of Family loaf and Chocolate bread are needed to be produced
and sold in order to maximize the profit
Lean and Six Sigma: A Combined Approach for Waste Management in Indian SME’sIJLT EMAS
Lean Six Sigma is an approach which focuses on
continuous improvement of processes in order to reduce the cost
due to poor quality and to make improvements in the bottom line
results to create value for the customers. The Basic purpose of
this paper is to explore the various critical success and failure
factors of LSS approach in various SME’s clusters of India. The
following research is based upon the systematic literature review
of papers published in various reputed journals on techniques
like Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma.
Innovation carried out by the organization or company aims to increase the added value to the
products or services owned. Food industry-based companies have a different trend of innovation from other
industrial sectors, and quantitatively the number of research publications in the field of agro food industry is
less compared to the research on non-agro food industry. This study aims to determine the type and
characteristics of innovation in food companies. Innovation typologies consisting of product, process, market,
and organizational innovations, have different role and level in its implementation to food industry. Market
innovation leads to marketing through new marketing methods. Organizational innovation includes the
organization’ strategic steps in making new breakthroughs related to the products or services produced. The
food industry sector generally carries out the four types of innovation, yet product and process innovations are
more widely used, both of which have a higher potential to be applied compared to market and organizational
innovations. Incremental level of innovation is more applicable than radical innovation.

Implementation of Patient Safety Program as a Prevention and Controlling Heal...irjes
Hospital is a unique working area bringing health risk for the worker either of patient or visitor.
Society who received health service, health worker and visitor in hospital faced to the risk of occurrence
infection or nosokomial infection now called as Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). The occurrence of
nosokomial infection in hospital is still on high level. The level of nosokomial infection in hospital for entire the
world showing improvement, it’s about 9% (variation 3 – 21 %) or more than 1.4 million inpatient spaces
(Depkes. 2009). The aimed of this study was to know the implementation of nosokomial infection prevention
program in supporting patient safety in Radjiman Wediodiningrat mental hospital.
Primer and secondary data was obtained from sanitation department and K3 of hospital, collected using
questionnaire interview sheet, polls, and observation using observation sheets. Data obtained using purposive
sampling technique. Data was analyzed by descriptive methode and presented into frequency distribution table.
The result of this research showed that Implementation of Patient safety in Outpatient and Inpatient mental
hospital of Wediodingrat Radjiman still less than optimal, infection Prevention and Control (PPI) at the
Outpatient and Inpatient room not been implemented. So It takes effort to improve the implementation of Patient
Safety in Outpatient and Inpatient especially in Anyelir, Napza, Camar, General clinic, Kemuning and VIP
room, required socialization, education and training on PPI programs in the room
Implementation of 1D Brinson model in 3D SMA specimens Influenced by stress c...irjes
The application of small-size SMA components has grown rapidly in various industries over the last
few years. Due to their complex nature, local constitutive models for those components have proven somehow
impractical; whereas global models have been unable to take the stress concentration into consideration and
hence cannot predict the nucleation and stress patterns accurately, especially in small samples. Moreover, FE
analyses are impossible to conduct in cases where a large number of evaluations are required to design a suitable
SMA sample. This paper proposes a new iterative method to accurately calculate the stress and martensitic
volume fraction in samples with stress concentration using 1D Brinson model. The method is implemented in
the form of a computer code which is then refined iteratively using FEM model which is validated based on
experimental data. Final assessments show that the proposed method could predict the stress values accurately
at negligible computational costs.

irregular velocity updates which is performed by these maps forces the particles to search greater space for best
global solution. However the random function itself derived from a well-defined mathematical expression which
limits its redundancy hence in the paper we are utilizing the two different chaotic maps which are used
alternatively this mathematically increased the randomness of the function. The simulation of the algorithm for
the formulated EOQ problem verifies the effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm over standard
algorithms for such a complex problem which are difficult to solve by analytical approaches.
An Assessment of Project Portfolio Management Techniques on Product and Servi...iosrjce
The crises of product and service innovation in most organisations due to global competition and
the need for scientific research in the project portfolio management discipline were factors that motivated this
research. The purpose of this study is to investigate how project portfolio management(ppm) contributes to
product and service innovation. A questionnaire was developed to gather data to compare the PPM methods
used, PPM performance and resulting new product success measures in sixty Nigeria organisations in a diverse
range of service and manufacturing industries. The study findings indicated that PPM practices have a greater
impact in the new product and services success rate. Also, business strategy method result in better alignment
of the projects in the portfolio. This conclusion is supported by the 0.630 Pearson correlations at 0.000
significance between percentage of successful products and PPM performance level. The results reveal that for
better innovation outcomes, management should place a priority on developing and improving PPM.

THE WASTES IN THE LEAN MARKETING. A PROPOSED TAXONOMYAndrea Payaro
The lean management is doing more with less by employing “lean thinking.” It involves never ending efforts to eliminate or reduce wastes in design, manufacturing, distribution, and customer service processes. This paper aims to develop a tools that help companies to identify the wastes present in their strategies and give a priority to different issues identified. Moreover this study, by an explanatory study, aims to measure the results of the application of this tools in the marketing strategies in a sample of 12 SMEs. The main results are that the companies involved in the project have a positive verdict on the model. In particular, the companies say that the model helps to identify more quickly which tools use to improve the level of customer satisfaction. It is easy to use and it can be used by all employees. Above all the model increases the level of knowledge of customers and their needs.

Current Trends in Product Development during COVID-19vivatechijri
This paper will summarize the authors´ experience over the last decades, from new methods developed
and used within Product Development, as well as current trends. Hence, a general and broad overview is
presented, rather than recent research results. Driving forces in PD are: Technology, Market and Society.
Ecological, economic and social sustainability require recycling, reuse, energy conservation and new business
concepts. Customization is carried out by modular architecture, combining customer specific products with
volume production of components and sub-systems. PD integrates “hard” properties (engineering), with “soft”
properties (industrial design). Fundamental PD characteristics are: Iteration, Integration (technical and
organizational), and Innovation. Globally distributed industrial partners co-operate using Internet. Iteration:
modeling/simulation, virtual prototyping and additive manufacturing speed up process loops. Structured PD:
Initial specification of “what” – functional requirements, then “how” - generation of design solutions.
Interdependencies analysis is important to simplify the product´s structure. The V-model for specification and
verification is commonly used. A 3-stage industrial process separates strategy, core technology development, and
product design for market introduction.
Enhancing Project Management Efficiency using Lean ConceptsIOSR Journals
One of the increasing and most significant concerns with projects is that, projects are behind
schedule, over budget and show unsatisfactory performance in terms of quality and customer satisfaction. Lean
Thinking is important because it can reduce error rates to maximum extent. The evidence from Toyota (Japan)
and other companies who have successfully implemented the Toyota Production System (TPS) or Lean
Principles confirms this. It also significantly reduces the time taken to deliver new products while substantially
reducing cost. This paper first introduces the general overview about Project Management and the Lean
Concepts. After that, this paper presents the literature survey and then compares the traditional Project
Management, the advantages or opportunities of introducing Lean Principles into Project Management with a
Case study
LEAN THINKING IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEWijseajournal
The field of Software Engineering has suffered considerable transformation in the last decades due to the influence of the philosophy of Lean Thinking. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify practices and approaches proposed by researchers in this area in the last 5 years, who have worked under the influence of this thinking. The search strategy brought together 549 studies, 80 of which were classified as
relevant for synthesis in this review. Seventeen tools of Lean Thinking adapted to Software Engineering were catalogued, as well as 35 practices created for the development of software that has been influenced by this philosophy. The study rovides a roadmap of results with the current state of the art and the identification of gaps pointing to opportunities for further esearch.
Similar to Bibliometrics About Lean Manufacturing (20)
Cars are a very important part of this modern world because they give luxury and comfort. Even
though they are comfortable, some problems always keep arising on the safety side. After a lot of research they
rectified certain problems using air bags, auto parking, turbo charger, pedal shift…, etc.
And now we are going to discuss about one such problem that arises on the safety side. An unsuspected
accident occurs when people smash their fingers in between the car doors. Due to this kind of accident around
120,000 people are injured every year. But this was not taken as a very major safety concern for the customer.
To avoid this kind accident due to car doors, we are introducing “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”
with the help of “HYDRAULIC PISTON AND IR SENSORS”.
The major working process of the “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”is, when a person places his/her
hand or fingers in the gap between the door and the outer panel, at the time when the closing action of the door
takes place, the Sensors start to transmit the Infra Red Rays to the Receivers at the
other end, and so even if someone closes the door without anybody‟s knowledge the hydraulic piston will
automatically come out and stop the door from closing and prevent the person from the unsuspected accident
and minor injuries by the car door and ensure maximum safety to the customer.
Extrusion can be defined as the process of subjecting a material to compression so that it is forced to
flow through an opening of a die and takes the shape of the hole. Multi-hole extrusion is the process of
extruding the products through a die having more than one hole. Multi-hole extrusion increases the production
rate and reduces the cost of production. In this study the ram force has calculated experimentally for single hole
and multi-hole extrusion. The comparison of ram forces between the single hole and multi-hole extrusion
provides the inverse relation between the numbers of holes in a die and ram force. The experimental lengths of
the extruded products through the various holes of multi-hole die are different. It indicates that the flow pattern
is dependent on the material behavior. The micro-hardness test has done for the extruded products of lead
through multi-hole die. It is observed that the hardness of the extruded lead products from the central hole is
found to be more than that of the products extruded from other holes. The study suggests that multi-hole
extrusion can be used for obtaining the extruded products of lead with varying hardness. The micro-structure
study has done for the lead material before and after extrusion. It is observed that the size of grains of lead
material after extrusion is smaller than the original lead.
Analysis of Agile and Multi-Agent Based Process Scheduling Modelirjes
As an answer of long growing frustration of waterfall Software development life cycle concepts,
agile software development concept was evolved in 90’s. The most popular agile methodologies is the Extreme
Programming (XP). Most software companies nowadays aim to produce efficient, flexible and valuable
Software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments. This complex
problem can be modeled as a multi-agent based system, where agents negotiate resources. Agents can be used to
represent projects and resources. Crucial for the multi-agent based system in project scheduling model, is the
availability of an effective algorithm for prioritizing and scheduling of task. To evaluate the models, simulations
were carried out with real life and several generated data sets. The developed model (Multi-agent based System)
provides an optimized and flexible agile process scheduling and reduces overheads in the software process as it
responds quickly to changing requirements without excessive work in project scheduling.
Effects of Cutting Tool Parameters on Surface Roughnessirjes
This paper presents of the influence on surface roughness of Co28Cr6Mo medical alloy machined
on a CNC lathe based on cutting parameters (rotational speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius).The
influences of cutting parameters have been presented in graphical form for understanding. To achieve the
minimum surface roughness, the optimum values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were
respectively, 318 rpm, 0,1 mm/rev, 0,7 mm and 0,8 mm. Maximum surface roughness has been revealed the
values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were respectively, 318 rpm, 0,25 mm/rev, 0,9
mm and 0,4 mm.
Possible limits of accuracy in measurement of fundamental physical constantsirjes
The measurement uncertainties of Fundamental Physical Constants should take into account all
possible and most influencing factors. One from them is the finiteness of the model that causes the existence of
a-priori error. The proposed formula for calculation of this error provides a comparison of its value with the
actual experimental measurement error that cannot be done an arbitrarily small. According to the suggested
approach, the error of the researched Fundamental Physical Constant, measured in conventional field studies,
will always be higher than the error caused by the finite number of dimensional recorded variables of physicalmathematical
models. Examples of practical application of the considered concept for measurement of fine
structure constant, speed of light and Newtonian constant of gravitation are discussed.
Performance Comparison of Energy Detection Based Spectrum Sensing for Cogniti...irjes
With the rapid deployment of new wireless devices and applications, the last decade has witnessed a growing
demand for wireless radio spectrum. However, the policy of fixed spectrum assignment produces a bottleneck for more
efficient spectrum utilization, such that a great portion of the licensed spectrum is severely under-utilized. So the concept of
cognitive radio was introduced to address this issue.The inefficient usage of the limited spectrum necessitates the
development of dynamic spectrum access techniques, where users who have no spectrum licenses, also known as secondary
users, are allowed to use the temporarily unused licensed spectrum. For this purpose we have to know the presence or
absence of primary users for spectrum usage. So spectrums sensing is one of the major requirements of cognitive radio.Many
spectrum sensing techniques have been developed to sense the presence or absence of a licensed user. This paper evaluates
the performance of the energy detection based spectrum sensing technique in noisy and fading environments.The
performance of the energy detection technique will be evaluated by use of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves
over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels.

In this paper, the conventional steel frames having triangular Pratt truss as a roofing system of 60 m
length, span 30m and varying bay spacing 4m, 5m and 6m respectively having eaves level for all the portals is at
10m and the EOT crane is supported at the height of 8m from ground level and pre-engineered steel frames of
same dimensions are analyzed and designed for wind zones (wind zone 2, wind zone 3, wind zone 4 and wind
zone 5) by using STAAD Pro V8i. The study deals with the comparative study of both conventional and preengineered
with respect to the amount of structural steel required, reduction in dead load of the structure.
Flip bifurcation and chaos control in discrete-time Prey-predator model irjes
The dynamics of discrete-time prey-predator model are investigated. The result indicates that the
model undergo a flip bifurcation which found by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory.
Numerical simulation not only illustrate our results, but also exhibit the complex dynamic behavior, such as the
periodic doubling in period-2, -4 -8, quasi- periodic orbits and chaotic set. Finally, the feedback control method
is used to stabilize chaotic orbits at an unstable interior point.
Energy Awareness and the Role of “Critical Mass” In Smart Citiesirjes
A Smart City could be depicted as a place, logical and physical, in which a crowd of heterogeneous
entities is related in time and space through different types of interactions. Any type of entity, whether it is a
device or a person, clustered in communities, becomes a source of context-based data.
Energy awareness is able to drive the process of bringing our society to limit energy waste and to optimize
usage of available resources, causing a strong environmental and social impact. Then, following social network
analysis methodologies related to the dynamics of complex systems, it is possible to find out, emergent and
sometimes hidden new habits of electricity usage. Through an initial Critical Mass, involving a multitude of
consumers, each related to more contexts, we evaluate the triggering and spreading of a collective attitude. To
this aim, in this paper, we propose a novel analytical model defining a new concept of critical mass, which
includes centrality measures both in a single layer and in a multilayer social network.
A Firefly Algorithm for Optimizing Spur Gear Parameters Under Non-Lubricated ...irjes
Firefly algorithm is one of the emerging evolutionary approaches for complex and non-linear
optimization problems. It is inspired by natural firefly‟s behavior such as movement of fireflies based on
brightness and by overcoming the constraints such as light absorption, obstacles, distance, etc. In this research,
firefly‟s movement had been simulated computationally to identify the best parameters for spur gear pair by
considering the design and manufacturing constraints. The proposed algorithm was tested with the traditional
design parameters and found the results are at par in less computational time by satisfying the constraints.
The Effect of Orientation of Vortex Generators on Aerodynamic Drag Reduction ...irjes
One of the main reasons for the aerodynamic drag in automotive vehicles is the flow separation
near the vehicle’s rear end. To delay this flow separation, vortex generators are used in recent vehicles. The
vortex generators are commonly used in aircrafts to prevent flow separation. Even though vortex generators
themselves create drag, but they also reduce drag by delaying flow separation at downstream. The overall effect
of vortex generators is more beneficial and proved by experimentation. The effect depends on the shape,size and
orientation of vortex generators. Hence optimized shape with proper orientation is essential for getting better
results.This paper presents the effect of vortex generators at different orientation to the flow field and the
mechanism by which these effects takes place.
An Assessment of The Relationship Between The Availability of Financial Resou...irjes
The availability of financial resources is an important element in impacting the success of a planning
process for an effective physical planning. The extent to which however, they are articulated in the process
remained elusive both in scholarly and public discourse. The objective of this study wastherefore, to examine
the extent to which financial resources affect physical planning. In doing so, the study examinedwhether
financial resources were adequate or not to facilitate planning processes in Paidha. According to the study
findings,budget prioritization and ceilings are still a challenge in Paidha Town Council. This is partly due
limited level of knowledge of physical planning among the officials of Paidha Town Council. As a result, there
were no dedicated budget line for routine inspection of physical development plan compliance and enforcement
tools in Paidha. In conclusion, in addressing uncoordinated patterns of physical development that characterize
Uganda‟s urban centres, a critical starting point ought to be the analysis of physical planning process. The
research of this kind is not only significant to other emerging urban centres facing poor a road network,
mushrooming informal settlements and poor social services including poor pattern of residential and commercial
developments but also to all institutions that are involved in planning these towns. Knowing the extent of need
for financial influences in planning may assist local authorities to take the processes of planning seriously which
will help enhance the sustainable development of emerging urban centres including Paidha.

- Person's desire to do a pregnancy examination is determined by the service place that suits the tastes
and facilities owned by it. Until now, the utilization of antenatal care by pregnant women is still low (Mardiana,
2014). The purpose of the study is to analyze factors affecting the utilization of antenatal care and delivery place
in Surabaya city based on the preferences and choice theory.
Type of survey research is cross sectional approach, the population is mothers who have children aged 1-
12 months in Surabaya. The large sample of 250 mothers who have children aged 1-12 months in 2013 is taken
by simple random sampling technique. Variables of the research are the preference elements and steps, choice
elements and steps, utilization of antenatal care and delivery place. Data were collected through questionnaires
and secondary data were then analyzed with descriptive statistics in the form of a frequency distribution, shown
by the schematic diagram.
The result showed that the preference elements and steps showed almost half (42.9%) desire to give birth
in a health care because of information got from someone else, while the choice element and step shows the
bulk (57.1%) of the criteria of delivery place chosen is a safe, comfortable and cheap delivery place, the labor
place which is the main choice most (57.1%) is cheap, comfortable, close.
Conclusion of the research based on the preferences and choice theory can be found three (3) new
theories, they are preferences become choice, preferences do not become choice, choice is preceded by
preferences

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Abstract:-This paper developed an analytical background to scientific development conducted on the use of
Lean Manufacturing in the industries. Regarding the methodological approach to this research is exploratory and
did a literature review with a sample survey using technological resources search as a tool to perform the search
in this case, the component data bases Journals Portal Coordination and Training of Personnel Higher Level. For
this study bibliometric analysis and the selection of journals were made and the results show that the topic is
Lean Manufacturing on the rise internationally and that is a methodology mentioned in leading journals. The
scientific literature on the topic is not predominantly done by a single magazine or a single industry segment.
The contribution is in identifying the gaps of the segments of the industries with the greatest opportunities for
the application of Lean Thinking so that future studies can deepen effectively is opportunity.
Keywords:-Lean Manufacturing, Lean Thinking, Bibliometrics.
I. INTRODUCTION
One of the main tasks of scientific articles is at disseminating knowledge through the publication of the
results of scientific research. This dissemination spread is of great value, because it allows other professionals
have the opportunity to meet, question and evaluate problems that may arise on the issues studied and
related(NEVES, 2013).
The articles published in various journals on existing evaluation III in Engineering portal of CAPES -
Coordination and Improvement of Higher Education Personnel constitute the portfolio necessary for the
development of this work.
Conducting research to identify the little exploration of scientific papers in the segments of industries
related to projects of Lean Manufacturing (ME) applicationsis necessary so that they can diagnose gaps, which
need attention and future developments. In other words, what industry segments underexplored by ME?
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to diagnose and analyze the published works in an attempt to
better understand what has been done by the industries most exploited and which segments.
The bibliometric research is on the lifting of the quantitative data of scientific recognition, the quality
of publications and media publicity.
II. THEORETICALBENCHMARK
Bibliometry emerged in the early twentieth century as a tool to monitor the growth and development of
different areas of science.This rise occurred in function of perception, on the part of scientists, in relation to the
amount of scientific knowledge generated at the time, beyond the capability of reading(ROSTAING et
al.NEVES, 2013).
This article uses the techniques of bibliometrics to evaluate the scientific production focusing on the
theme ME therefore initially be treated starting from the origin of the Lean Production System that, based on the
version of Womack and Jones (1996), appeared in Japan at the end of World War II.These authors are based on
the production process employed by the Japanese Toyota had proposed as a viable and efficient company in
automobile manufacturing. According to Oprime (2012), this practice was known then that provided by mass
production, or manufacture in high volume standardized to market a broad product dimensions.Thus, for the
Toyota, the solution was how to competitively produce a wider variety of designs in small quantities. Thus, the
problem was to achieve efficiency and cost reduction no longer based on economies of scale, but in other
elements of manufacturing output.
According to Davenport (1994), the construction of the Lean concept serves as an "umbrella" to cover
all the methods that were based on reducing waste in the environment, however different they are in their format
and contents of current existing and its corporate culture.
Thus, (PE) and clinging to the Lean tools possibly good results can be achieved. As Womack and Jones
(1996) should be sought elimination of all waste and aim to create wealth - or value.The companies have lost

sight of the value and how to create value for the customer. It creates waste. Need the EP to help companies
specify value correctly.Aligning all activities that create value for a specific product along a value chain and
cause the value to flow according to customer needs, striving for perfection and continuous improvement.
To Bhasin (2012), each company must find its own way to the Lean program.Managers were drowned
in attempting to implement techniques to isolated parts of a lean system without understanding the whole.A
reliable guide to action implementation is the five principles of PE: i) accurately determine the value by specific
product; ii) identify the value chain for each product; iii) make value flow without interruptions; iv) let the
customer pull value from the producer; v) seek perfection.
Changes (in Japanese, waste), has to do with activities that do not create value, errors that require
rectification, production of items that nobody wants, accumulation of goods in stock.Processing steps that
actually were not needed.Movement of employees and transport of goods from one place to another without
purpose. Groups of people in a subsequent activity that are waiting because a previous activity was not carried
out on time, in short: goods and services that do not meet customer needs.
Figure 1 shows the model of the Production System developed by company management Produttare for
Production Systems that have been implemented in Brazilian companies, it is a reference model that synthesizes
all this theoretical and conceptual framework of the Production System lean.
All teams of a company who follow the same approach, are possible precisely measure the waiting time
and continuously improve their design methodology(WOMACK e JONES 1996).
With the adoption of the EP - Lean Thinking many companies achieved superior performance in
various dimensions that were considered conflicting, such as low cost, high quality, speed and flexibility.
Competitive priorities can reinforce each other, (PORTER, 1980).
Figure1: General illustrationof theLean ProductionSystem
Source: Produttare (2014).
However, what objectives are conflicting and which may be reduced or eliminated with the application
of ME? Are questions that must be made when trying to use a strategic perspective.
Thus, the implementation of the EP is a process of continuous improvement, in which learning should
be used to manage the change. For the organization to benefit from the knowledge generated, the approach of
emergent strategy proves to be quite consistent.The consistency of behavior required by the lean philosophy
leads to development of plans for long and short term to encourage the use of learning generated and stimulate
the generation of knowledge. Furthermore, the potential generated and the characteristic of the changing market
needs can lead to issues to be observed throughout the implementation process.
Hayes (1981) e Veiga et al. (2008) state that the success of Japanese is not due to use of futuristic
techniques, but the attention to basic aspects of manufacturing. All stages of the manufacturing process, from
product development to distribution, are also important. They work constantly improving equipment design,
system inventory control, and skill of workers through cooperation at all levels.In addition, each employee was
trained to solve small problems that arise in day-to-day, to conduct regular preventive maintenance, and to
continually seek ways to eliminate potential interruptions and improve efficiency. It is visible consistency and
discipline in the Japanese manufacturing operations.
Many companies are using the best lean practices as the basis of their manufacturing strategies. The
best practice approach involves the philosophy of WCM (world class manufacturing) andbenchmarkingand that

is based on the continuous improvement of best practices in all areas of the organization argument leads to
superior performance by improving their competitiveness(VOSS, 1995; VEIGA et al., 2008).Thus, one can
consider that the practices, considered best, cover the contents of this paradigm of manufacturing strategy
andbenchmarking is the process.
III. METHODOLOGYAPPROACH
The methodological approach of this research is characterized as exploratory, descriptive and
documental (GIL, 2008),which employs a deductive(CRUZ, RIBEIRO, 2004). On the design, it draws on
literature and the survey sample, using technological resources search as a tool to perform the search(GIL,
2008),this case, the component data bases Journals Portal CAPES - Coordination and Improvement of Higher
Education Personnel.For a survey and analysis conducted in this study the following steps were taken: i) Search
term - selection of periodicals; ii) reading the titles, abstracts, keywords of the items returned; iii) Reading the
methodology and results of the returned items; iv) Tabulation and evaluation of data obtained; v) Identification
of Articles segment and vi) Application Tips for future work in segments with little scientific exploration.
Therefore, Periodicals have consulted your articles available for online consultation, technological
search capabilities have been used, thereby facilitating the collection of data.
The first step was to research the keywords“lean+applications+industry”in international journals
selected, considering the last 15 years.This survey was conducted with a focus on international
journals(Journal)bases that were available in the web page.
Regarding step two, the topics were selected to approximate the contents of the articles to the topic
being developed.In step three, a tab was made with the goal of visualizing the languages in which international
articles were written. In step four, a tab was made with the aim to know the collections that were participating in
the production of articles.In step five, the resource used and the focus given to the type of document used. In
step six, the selection of articles by publication date. In step seven, was mounted stratum Qualis Capes
(Engineering III) of all journals in order to analyze the classification of journals.And finally, in step eight, the
segment of industries worked within these selected articles from all titles, abstracts, keywords, their research
methodologies and findings.
In the last step of sorting and reading the articles, then followed him to the last stage: the tabulation and
evaluation of its characteristics, the results are presented and discussed below.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This research started from data generated in consultation with the Portal Capes and process the first
data to be computed was the total number of detailed in Figure 2 international papers available at the base.
Figure 2 - Number of articles published on the period

It was observed that by using key words: lean+applications+industryfound 18,529 articles available,
and of these articles, the peer reviewed totaled 13,172 units, and this was the initial base crafted.
Continuing the selection, the topics were added (refinement of keyword) to approximate the contents of
the articles to the topic to be developed as shown in Figure 3.

Found 212 articles to the topic Lean Productionrepresenting a 40% of selected.It may be noted that the
second most significant contribution has been the topicSimulation21% and a total of 111 items, followed by
topicalLean manufacturingwith 88 journals. For Lean, Case Study, Agile and Lean Management topics found
113 articles.
A panel was also performed in order to visualize the languages in which international articles were
written. It is observed that the number of publications in English is much higher than publications in other
languages, especially the Portuguese, with 124 articles in English, 22 in German and one in Spanish.
Subsequently, a tabulation was made with the aim to know the collections that were participating in the
production of articles.
It is observed that the higher occurrence of publications mainly appears at the bottom OneFile (Gale)
with177 publications followed by base Scopus (Elsevier) with144 publications andSciVerse Science Direct
(Elsevier) with 77 publications, other holdings totaling 36 posts and bases are in Arts & Sciences (JSTOR); Sage
Publications (CrossRef); INFORMS Jounals; Wiley Online Library, and Sage Journals Directory of Open
Access Journals (DOAJ).
The predominant type of document was unanimously crafted in the shape of articles, were excluded
from the final analysis all other types of documents, such as reviews, textual resources, minutes of conferences
and journal articles.
Another fact presented and that contributes to the selection of items is the date of publication as shown
in Figure 4.

It is noteworthy that the temporal positioning considered only those years in which they have occurred
and publications from 1999 to the present day, read 2014, more precisely to 28 April 2014.Therefore 44% of the
sample between 2009 and April 2014.
Analyzed other information was subsequently stratum Qualis Capes, and only within the Area
Engineering III, of all journals, aiming to analyze from qualified journals in this area.
It was noticed that more than half of the journals have no classification in the area of Engineering III,
but in other areas, such as computer science, biological sciences I, agricultural, administration, accounting and
tourism sciences, interdisciplinary, medicine, psychology, biology II, among others.
However, 24 journals have qualification A1 and A2 10 journals. Although it was realized that 12
periodicals and 11 are rated B1 to B2, and that does not return any journal below this classification, we have no
qualification B3, B4 and B5 as shown in Figure 8.
So far it has reached 57 articles and, as a result, we sought to find the segment of industries worked in
the context of these selected articles.
For this achievement was necessary to put them all in a single database organized in which it could
read all their titles, abstracts, keywords, its research methodologies and conclusions are presented in Figure 5.
Figure 5 - Segment of Industries in the journals surveyed
Source: by authors based on the CAPES web page (2014)
We observe that the Manufacturing Industry has the largest share with 30% to 17 items developed in this
segment, the branch Automotive Service and has the same interest, both with 23% and 13 articles each.The
Civil Construction and Transportation also tie with four publications, and are each 7% of the publications, since
the Food are two articles and there are no scientific studies to the Sugar and Ethanol Industry of the sugar-
energy sector jobs. Other segments have found four publications.
Therefore, the articles available shortly address the Food Industries nor the Sugar and Alcohol Industry's
sugar-energy sector.
It appears that there is a future opportunity to be exploited in order to contribute to knowledge within
registered with the greatest need for scientific production segment.
V. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
The goal it has set itself the product was achieved because information was raised and drew up an
analytical overview of scientific literature on the topic of ME in this set of journals surveyed by CAPES web
page.
The results show that the topic is rising internationally and is a methodology mentioned in leading
journals. The scientific literature on the topic is not predominantly done by a single magazine or a single
industry segment, with gaps in some segments, especially the food and sugar and alcohol, the latter being the
most opportunity to develop work and scientific research.

The contribution of this research is pointing in the opportunities related to the continuity of the work of
scientific research and development of production processes in the industry through the methodology of ME
segments underexplored.
Therefore, as a future research will be sought to increase the number of databases to be searched by
CAPES Portal, in order to obtain greater clarity on the aspects of knowledge gap and opportunities for projects
involving contribution of ME and the sugar and alcohol sector.
