The present study was undertaken to indicate the differences and similarities in color determination process and color selection criteria of leading automobile manufacturers of the world. A comperative study was conducted in the light of relevant literature, interviews and questionnaires. A total number of 6 automobile company were selected for case study; Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Renault and Toyota. Total 19 respondents, the majority of whom were automobile designers and color specialists answered questions related with color design of automobiles and selection criteria. Later, a total of 18 representatives, including at least one Color and Trim designer, Product Engineer and Purchasing Manager from each company, completed the questionnaires. On the basis of findings, it can be said that each auto manufacturer has a particular color determination process. However, there are some similarities in color design process of Renault and Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota, Hyundai and Honda.

A decision support system for production planning and pre-cost estimation activities in an apparel company
Gökalp, Ebru; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this study, a specific decision support system is designed and developed for Production Planning and Marketing Department of an apparel company. The developed system involves two modules with user friendly interface or data input and query. The system is designed to provide support in the following fields of decision making; pre cost estimation, capacity planning, master production planning and production scheduling. A detailed analysis of the existing system is conducted and Microsoft Access is used for...
A comparison of data mining methods for prediction and classification types of quality problems
Anaklı, Zeynep; Anaklı, Zeynep; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009)
In this study, an Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Preference Ranking Organization MeTHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) based approach is developed and used to compare overall performance of some commonly used classification and prediction data mining methods on quality improvement data, according to several decision criteria. Classification and prediction data mining (DM) methods are frequently used in many areas including quality improvement. Previous studies on comparison of performance of the...
Multi-item inventory-routing problem for an FMCG company
Zerman, Erel; Kırca, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this study, inventoryrouting system of a company operating in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry is analyzed. The company has decided to redesign distribution system by locating regional warehouses between production plants and customers. The warehouses in the system are all allowed to hold stock without any capacity restriction. The customers are replenished by the warehouse to which they have been assigned. Customer stocks are continuously monitored by the warehouse and deliveries are to be sch...
A comparison of orthogonal cutting data from experiments with three different finite element models
Bil, H; Kilic, SE; Tekkaya, AE (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01)
The aim of this study is to compare various simulation models of orthogonal cutting process with each other as well as with the results of various experiments. Commercial implicit finite element codes MSC.Marc, Deform2D and the explicit code Thirdwave AdvantEdge have been used. In simulations, a rigid tool is advanced incrementally into the deformable workpiece which is remeshed whenever needed. In simulations with MSC.Marc and Thirdwave AdvantEdge, there is no separation criterion defined since chip format...
The effect of inspection error on quality and producer losses: the case of nominal-the-best type quality characteristic and rework
Köksal, Gülser; Dolgun, Leman Esra; Batmaz, İnci (Inderscience Publishers, 2013-01-01)
In this study, the effect of inspection error (IE) on quality and producer losses is investigated for a nominal-the-best type quality characteristic determined by a manufacturing process centre with a separate rework unit. The probability distribution and the first two moments of the resulting quality characteristic values are derived and used together with Markov chain models and simulation to study the quality and producer losses and the related statistics for various processes and gage capability levels....
