Isogeometric analysis using T-splines

Cost Analysis of Inadequate Interoperability in the U.S. Capital Facilities Industry.

Plot interpretation is an interesting topic because the ability to interpret plots is a measure of scientific literacy and because plots themselves can be informative. Tufte (1983) observes that the popular media in the U.S. considers the scatterplot beyond the common reader. Noting that some elementary school curricula include Cartesian plots, and even box and whisker plots, there is hope that the statistical literacy movement will eventually force a well-justified reassessment.

Value proposition on interoperability of BIM and collaborative working environments

Purpose – To examine the state of logistics and supply chain management (SCM) research in the last five years from the standpoint of existing methodologies. The state of research is assessed by examining the research design, number of hypothesis testing, research methods, data analysis techniques, data sources, level of analysis and country of authors.Design/methodology/approach – The review of SCM and logistics research is based on 442 papers published from 1999 to 2003 in the following three academic journals Journal of Business Logistics, International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, and Supply Chain Management: An International Journal.Findings – Major findings show that there is an increase in the direct observation methods like case studies. In general, the research is more interpretive in nature. Survey method is still holding the highest position. More advanced techniques are being used for data analysis in empirical studies and there has been an increase in hypothesis tes...

Interoperability Cost Analysis of the U.S. Automotive Supply Chain

Concurrent design and engineering in the supply chain are vital to the growing competitiveness of the US automotive industry. However, these innovative design and development processes are hampered if product data cannot be exchanged seamlessly across the supply chain. This paper estimates that imperfect interoperability costs the US automotive industry about $1 billion per year and delays the introduction of new models by at least two months. It also evaluates different methods for alleviating interoperability problems and concludes that emerging technologies and formats offer promising solutions that may lead to significant savings for the industry. Benefits from alleviating interoperability problems can also be realized in other product data exchange‐intensive supply chains like shipbuilding and aerospace.
