This study investigates how packaging constraints are met in the defense industry and the role of industrial designers in the project process. In this thesis, packaging constraints will be used for the geometric limitations, and its scope includes length, diameter, distance, clearance, location, and space for a design. They are among the essential requirements sets of a system project. Additionally, the term system will refer to a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network; a complex whole in this study. Packaging constraints may directly affect the performance, cost, design, and many other outcomes. Nevertheless, they are considered some of the secondary requirements of a project and are usually treated as a natural iterative process by project management. Such attitudes may cause loss of time, energy, money, and other configurational problems for project management and team members. Therefore, interdisciplinary collaboration and communication between industrial designers and engineers should be well established starting fromthe early phases of the project for a better project management and less iterative processes.

Aligning learning design and learning analytics through instructor involvement: a MOOC case study Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Er, Erkan; Dimitriadis, Yannis; Bote-Lorenzo, Miguel L.; Asensio-Perez, Juan I.; Alvarez-Alvarez, Susana (2019-08-01) This paper presents the findings of a mixed-methods research that explored the potentials emerging from aligning learning design (LD) and learning analytics (LA) during the design of a predictive analytics solution and from involving the instructors in the design process. The context was a past massive open online course, where the learner data and the instructors were accessible for posterior analysis and additional data collection. Through a close collaboration with the instructors, the details of the pre...
Flexible assembly line design problem with fixed number of workstations Barutcuoglu, Sirin; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) In the paper, we study a flexible assembly line design problem with equipment decisions. We assume the task times and equipment costs are correlated in the sense that for all tasks the cheaper equipment gives no smaller task time. Given the cycle time and number of workstations we aim to find the assignment of tasks and equipment to the workstations so as to minimise the total equipment cost. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that uses powerful lower bounds and reduction mechanisms. Our computational ...
Development of a sabot design tool for aeroballistic range testing Kafdağlı, Karaca Efe; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006) The aim of this thesis is to investigate the general design and analysis principles of sabots and to develop a sabot design tool. Structures which support and align the models in gun bore, and separate without disturbing the flight path of models are called sabots. In the scope of this study, structurally critical regions and loads acting on sabots due to acceleration in the gun are determined. To calculate the loads acting and to size the sabots, approximate relations are derived by the help of strength of...
Analysis of supplier buyer relationships using resource constrained project scheduling strategies Tukel, OI; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (2001-03-01) Many studies in the product development literature discuss the benefits of partnering with suppliers. In these partnership relations buyers and suppliers establish long term, co-operative relationships during Product Development Projects (PDP) in order to reduce product development time and improve project performance. Traditional contractual approaches, on the other hand, where buyers work independently of suppliers and lack control over suppliers' resources, are commonly blamed for delays in the developme...
Capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems: branch and bound based approaches ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This study considers an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in flexible manufacturing systems. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the available tools are limited. Our objective is to maximise total weight of assigned operations. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that finds the optimal solutions and a beam search algorithm that finds high quality solutions in polynomial time.
