A variety of information items related to building components need to be accessed and exchanged between design, manufacturing and construction companies, during various phases of a life-cycle of a component. This information accessing and exchange process is especially important for customized components, such as steel components, because more information items are associated with these customized components. Within the current practice, information about steel components is mainly exchanged on paper-based documents and component location identification is maintained via manual searching methods. It was observed that locating components using these approaches are either time consuming and inaccurate. Furthermore document based information exchange is not efficient. The proposed research focuses on the identified need with the objectives of identifying information items required during design, manufacturing, shipment and installation phases of structural steel members and providing new approach that can enable accessing component specific information and locating components during manufacturing, shipment and installation in a timely manner. This approach benefits from the opportunities provided by RFID technology.

Comparison of Intelligent Classification Techniques by Practicing a Specific Technology Audit Berkol, A.; Kara, G.; Turk, A. (2016-09-08) Technology audit activities arc carried out for assessment of firms' technological requirements, capacity or management capability. The aim of these assessments is to define the weaknesses of firms and develop actions in order to improve firms' technological capacity and/or technology management capability. Generally these activities are implemented with survey questionnaires. These questionnaires can be filled by managers of firms or can be implemented as an interview by independent experts. However, evalu...
Integrated procurement and transportation planning for purchased components: a case study Yanık, Hatice Deniz; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008) This study is about an integrated procurement and transportation planning system for purchased components of a consumer-durables manufacturer. Due to transportation cost structures and demand characteristics our problem can be classified as a variant of the dynamic-demand joint replenishment problem. The problem is to determine the replenishment policy using the advantages of coordinated transportation of items that will minimize the sum of total inventory holding and tranportation costs over a finite plann...
Conceptual design and analysis of an industrial type vacuum sweeper Aygün, Buket; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) In this thesis, design and development and manufacturing processes of an industrial type vacuum sweeper is presented. Thesis is financially supported by Ministry of Industry and Trade-Turkey and Müsan A.Ş. (Makina Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.) under SAN-TEZ project number 00028.STZ.2007-1. It is aimed to make innovative design changes and developments on the Müsan VSM 060 type vacuum sweeper. To achieve this aim, alternative configuration designs are prepared by using commercial 3D modeling program, Catia™...
Integrated framework to investigate value innovations Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-04-01) A conceptual framework has been developed to investigate value innovations within construction companies. A visual metaphor has been defined to model the innovation system where the elements of the model are objectives, strategies, environmental barriers/drivers, and organizational factors. The major idea is that none of the elements of the model alone can explain the innovative capability, and elements as well as their interrelations should be considered concurrently to investigate how the innovation syste...
Solution approaches for flexible job shop scheduling problems Balcı, Şerife Aytuğ; Azizoğlu, Meral; Oğuzsoy, Cemal Berk; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013) In this thesis, we consider a flexible job shop scheduling problem existing in discrete parts manufacturing industries. We are motivated by the production environment of Roketsan Missiles Industries Incorporation, operating at Turkish defense industry. Our objective is to minimize the total weighted completion times of the jobs in the system. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear program and find that our model could find optimal solutions only to small sized problem instances. For medium and l...
