Enhancing Injection Molding Processes through Taguchi Method and SolidWorks Plastics for Automotive Applications | Chapter 7 | Current Approaches in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 5

 

The research project delves into enhancing the injection molding process within the automotive industry. The objective is to refine the efficacy and efficiency of injection molding procedures for manufacturing specific interior plastic components utilizing SolidWorks Plastics and the Taguchi method. Essential elements such as project goals, parameters, and structure are meticulously considered to provide a systematic approach for achieving tangible enhancements in injection molding design. Five distinct process parameters in injection molding are chosen at various levels to minimize shrinkage in the selected component. To evaluate the Signal-to-Noise ratio, the L18 orthogonal array of Taguchi is selected based on the number of parameters and levels. The selected parameters are optimized, resulting in the following settings: the melt temperature is adjusted to 200°C, the mold temperature to 25°C, the filling time to 3 seconds, the pressure holding time to 3 seconds, and the pure cooling time to 3 seconds. Hence, the proposed methodology demonstrates that the Taguchi method is a viable approach for improving injection molding processes across diverse industries, including the automotive sector.

Talent Management Practices and Intellectual Capital: Enhancing Innovativeness in the KwaZulu-Natal Automotive Sector | Chapter 9 | Contemporary Issues of Business and Management: The Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics (ICBMD), Edition 1

 The study examined the complex interactions between talent management practices, intellectual capital, and innovation in the South African automotive industry. The study aimed to understand the variables that affect talent management strategies and intellectual capital, and how those variables influenced innovation. The main objective was to offer insights that might boost competitive advantage, encourage growth, and support the region's automakers' recuperation and long-term viability thereby providing guidance for management to consider the changing technological environment and industry dynamics. In-depth interviews were used to record participants’ viewpoints and experiences. The academic significance of this study will expand understanding the link and relation of how the practices in talent management influence intellectual capital and how the dimensions of human capital influence innovation. This research maps out which approaches are valuable for organisations within the automotive industry using learnings from Company X as a case study. In doing so, the study will furnish ways in which best-practices in the talent management process can be designed effectively and which methods of intellectual capital can foster an innovative organisational culture. The research design, participant selection, data collection procedures, and analytic techniques such as constant comparison and thematic analysis constituted the study’s methodology. The qualitative case study approach offered a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the subject matter, while also acknowledging its inherent limits. The results highlighted the importance of talent management in fostering an atmosphere that encourages original thought and value to existing research. The study recommends organisations critically assess their current strategies, focus on areas in need of development, and leverage the company’s existing competencies. Relevant recommendations were presented regarding talent management, intellectual capital, and innovation considering the context of the KwaZulu-Natal's automotive industry as the region’s and industry’s diverse past and approaches, influence talent management practices.

The conversation on organisational practices is enriched by the areas that have been highlighted for improvement, as well as by the emphasis placed on the value of creative cultures and people management techniques. The study highlights the need for a more thorough investigation of talent management dynamics within the broader framework of the automotive industry. This study also shows that human, structural, and relational factors all play important roles and have a tremendous impact that intellectual capital has on value creation and performance. With Company X’s highly qualified workforce and culture of ongoing improvement, Company X serves as an example of how good people management promotes innovation. This study establishes the groundwork for further research, encouraging ongoing innovation and enhancement of organisational procedures.

Quality Improvement in the Automotive Components Industry by Innovative 3D Scanner Solution | Chapter 1 | Research and Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 7

This work aims to evolve and validate a solution for control of product quality in the automotive industry while attractive full advantage of the concerning details factors given by the equipment secondhand. It deals with researching and administering a three-dimensions (3D) scanning in of documents in product quality listening tasks of a door committee manufacturing process. Pilot studies were carried out to evaluate the real capabilities of the supplies and determine questions that could arise when climbing the process for a real result of car door panels. The exercise and final results are also illustrated in this work, show that it is possible to develop a adaptable equipment accompanying multiple applications and administer it in the automotive industry.

Historical Path Dependence in the Turkish Automobile Industry and the Possibility of Path Creativity | Chapter 7 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 6

 The terrestrial continent change taking place among Turkey’s automotive manufacturing, within the limits of subjective studies, creating a historical outlook, the region, announced today stems from the significance of global integration centers. In this framework, Turkey is located betwixt geographic continent changes to create operating limits of the automotive manufacturing, the global unification of the indicator is due primarily to the experience that the reveal. Thus, while Turkey is an appealing market for car result, on the other hand, adequate improvement over come into sight the production of trucks and other automotive brand, such as buses has not existed achieved. Regarding Turkey, the 1929 experience performs to have been profitable. As a result, OYAK and TOFA had to wait until 1971 to start an automotive assembly facility accompanying licence agreements. There has existed a noticeable increase in sectoral result numbers since the opening of two automotive conveniences, but this trend has not happened adequately supported by the administration through the incentive arrangement, and in the late 1970s the production of the automotive manufacturing has decreased. At the beginning of the last century, the tool industry, that was shaped under the structural incidents on the functional effectiveness of the horse delivery of freight, gave birth to the bulk and mass production methods formed by Ford with the idea of competition. It can produce examples in a short period of four months in Turkey in 1961, as proved by an indication of the dependency on a very long time wasting that is not technology importation road, such as five age. How to break the path of commitment demonstrates that it is a difficult task. Path dependency is concept to result from the education arrangement.
