Abstract Since customers are not all created equal, it could be overemphasised that a precise knowledge of Customer Requirements (CR) holds the key to business success. This paper offers Segmentation (CRS) as novel technique for categorizing CR with precision. CRS involves three different types segmentation according to: service encounters or provided within each encounter (CRS-I); customers' characteristics, e.g. age, gender, etc (CRS-II); and prioritized importance (CRS-III). Starting...
Many academic libraries are looking at new ways to add value when they deliver services faculty, and one potential area where the library can provide is in partnering with staff support dissemination of faculty research. Librarians have traditionally helped researchers beginning research cycle, discovery delivery information sources. However, now playing a role end providing that scholarly publishing. This paper examines participation faculty-led publishing ventures. In particular, it...
This paper analyses the activities that are taking place to introduce quality function deployment (QFD) into an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). QFD literature presents many different types of planning tools and techniques can be used in product development but very few actually demonstrate how introduced management system organisation. aims address imbalance by use a case study detailing OEM has implemented first six steps proposed 16‐step introductory process. The these programme...
AbstractThis paper reports a study of the melt impregnation and weaving glass–polypropylene prepreg tapes into sheet for use as precursor pressed thermoplastic composite products comparison properties attainable with those achievable by other comparable routes. Melt has been used successfully to manufacture well impregnated tapes, without internal coupling agent. It appears that could be an economically viable process converting unidirectional tape conformable, press formable prepreg. The...
A structured approach to providing real engineering interest for first-year students of Mechanical Engineering is described. This approach, which has been used successfully a number years, introduces the design and manufacturing processes through investigation locally manufactured product. It includes analysis possible methods visit plant observe discuss used. Interpersonal skills are developed working in small teams making oral written presentations.
