This thesis presents an analysis of the processes related to the obsolescence management of electronic components in a large scale defense industry company. These proceses are: Project Management, Research and Development, Manufacturing and Services, and Supply Chain Management. The current obsolescence problems, and the company’s reactive approach to resolving these are described. A new obsolescence management framework is proposed in order to mitigate and resolve obsolescence problems in electronic components. The framework targets the reduction of the negative impacts of obsolescence throughout the lifecycle of products, as well as the elimination of the communication and integration deficiencies in existing processes. It recommends the extension of the scope of Product Lifecycle Management in the company, the establishment of a companywide Preferred Parts List and standardization of existing electronic component libraries, the introduction of Complex Event Processing to manage obsolescence, and the incorporation of a new obsolescence management process within a “shell structure” that integrates all obsolescence related processes.

A Model Predictive Control for Microgrids Considering Battery Aging Yilmaz, Ugur Can; SEZGİN, MUSTAFA ERDEM; Göl, Murat (2020-03-01) The increasing number of distributed energy resources (DERs), advancing communication and computation technologies, and reliability concerns of the customers have caused an intense interest in the concept of microgrid. Although DERs are the biggest motivation of the microgrids due to their intermittent generation characteristics, they constitute a risk for system reliability. Battery storage systems (BSSs) stand as one of the most effective solutions for this reliability problem. However, the inappropriate ...
A methodology for examining the role of adaptive expertise on CAD modeling Johnson, Michael D.; Öztürk, Elif; Valverde, Lauralee; Yalvac, Bugrahan; McGary, Prentiss; Peng, Xiaobo (2013-01-01) Computer-aided design (CAD) tools play a significant role in the modern product commercialization environment. As CAD and general CAx technology advances, it becomes more important to understand how engineers adapt their expertise to new environments and problems. This work examines a methodology consisting of a set of surveys, interviews, and exercises with a small group of practicing engineers to assess adaptive expertise (AE) and relate this AE to CAD modeling performance and procedures. Results detail A...
A conwip application in an electronics company Güngörer, Elif; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a real world application of the constant work in process (Conwip) system in an electronics company is realized. The aim of the application is to reduce the work in process (WIP) inventory while maintaining the same throughput level. A model is developed to determine the constant work in process level of the Conwip system for the production lines in this company. The approximated mean value analysis approach is used for the solution. Real system data are collected before and after the Conwip ...
A composite dislocation cell model to describe strain path change effects in BCC metals Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (IOP Publishing, 2009-11-16) Sheet metal forming processes are within the core of many modern manufacturing technologies, as applied in, e.g., automotive and packaging industries. Initially flat sheet material is forced to transform plastically into a three-dimensional shape through complex loading modes. Deviation from a proportional strain path is associated with hardening or softening of the material due to the induced plastic anisotropy resulting from the prior deformation. The main cause of these transient anisotropic effects at m...
The Critical success factors for manufacturing execution systems (mes) adoption in Turkey defense industry: an industrial case study Yavuz, Hasan; Akçomak, İbrahim Semih; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2018) The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) adoption using the case of a Turkish defense industry firm with both a quantitative and a qualitative research design. After the critical factors that are used in the adoption and implementation assessment in different countries and sectors are determined in the literature, about one hundred questionnaires and five interviews are conducted at a defense industry firm. The thesis dr...
