Superior manufacturing capability provides long lasting competitive benefits to a company in the market. It is thus imperative to have an instrument to assess the manufacturing capability of companies. However, empirically tested and reliable tools for the purpose of evaluation of manufacturing capability along different decision areas are scarcely available in the literature. This paper develops questionnaires based on generally accepted principle of instrument design to assess the manufacturing capabilities along different decision areas for four categorization schemes of manufacturing decision areas reported in the literature. The reliability and validity of all four instruments are assessed through responses from managers of 32 manufacturing units and are found to be satisfactory for most of the factors. The criterion validity is found to be fairly good for all the four instruments. 相似文献

Nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N/TiO2) nanophotocatalysts were successfully synthesized in the presence of environmentally benign nitrogen dopant source, guanidinium chloride, by the sol–gel method. The effect of calcination temperature (300–600 °C) on their physicochemical properties was investigated by means XRD, XPS, FESEM, HRTEM, Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis DRS, PL and BET. Moreover, their photocatalytic activities were evaluated against rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under direct sun light. Results showed that the crystal phase of spheroidal N/TiO2 nanoparticles was changed from anatase (300 °C) to rutile (600 °C) via an intermediate anatase/rutile (A/R) mixed phase (400–500 °C), and the RhB photodegradation performance was increased with the decrease of the calcination temperature. Notably, N/TiO2 prepared at 400 °C demonstrated the best degradation performance (99%) after 5 h irradiation. The enhanced performance with high photostability was mainly attributed to its higher surface area and pore volume, stronger light absorption, and lower recombination rate. Such nanomaterials have practical applications for environmental remediation. 相似文献

A method for the preparation of alumina–aluminum titanate (AT) composites, which can be sintered to high density with a fine-grained microstructure at <1450°C, is reported. The composite precursor is alumina particles coated by sol–gel-derived titania, which reacts during sintering to form AT in situ at temperature as low as 1300°C. The composite can be sintered at 1350°C to 98% density with 1.5–2.0 μm grain size. Other composites containing 5–50 wt% AT are also investigated. 相似文献

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles were synthesized through colloidal method in aqueous medium using the reaction intermediates selenium nanorods as selenium source. Trigonal selenium nanorods (t-Se) were synthesized in water by the reduction method in the presence of sodium borohydride at 60?°C using sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) as selenium source. These selenium nanorods were further utilized to synthesis cadmium selenide nanoparticles at 100?°C in water. The synthesized nanorods and nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shown that the nanorods possess trigonal phase while the nanoparticles possess a cubic zinc blende structure. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of the prepared hexagonal shaped nanorods reveals the diameter of the nanorods are about 150 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis shows the size of the synthesized CdSe nanoparticles are about 4–8 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis illustrates the presence of respective elements Cd, Se with its corresponding oxidation states. The activity of nano selenium rods in aqueous solution during the conversion of cadmium selenide nanoparticles was discussed. 相似文献

Nano size ZnO–Bi2O3 varistor precursor powders containing Y2O3 and Pr6O11 rare earth dopants were prepared by low temperature refluxing at 80 °C. Effect of rare earth dopants, densification by two-step sintering, evolution of microstructures and their influence on varistor properties were investigated. Chemically synthesized nano- precursor varistor powders produced controlled grain size in two-step sintering in which the average sintered ZnO grain size was reduced to at least half compared to the conventionally processed ZnO–Bi2O3 varistors. The study revealed that such grain size reduction is highly beneficial to attain enhanced varistor properties. 相似文献

A well designed production system secures environmental and internal fit. Environmental fit in a production system refers to alignment of manufacturing decisions to the external settings such as product and market. Internal fit implies that manufacturing decisions are mutually supportive. This paper develops a framework to analyse congruence of manufacturing decision areas in a production system. The framework considers six broad manufacturing decision areas. Based on the literature review, 54 decision types and alternative decision choices for each decision type are identified. The subjective and/or objective constructs to measure decision type are presented which should be useful in designing construct and in data gathering to conduct empirical research. Using the proposed framework, many research questions concerning the settings of several decision types for a specific type of production system can be generated and empirically tested. 相似文献

The configuration of a production system can be described by the choices a firm makes in its manufacturing decision areas. Manufacturing strategy literature lacks empirical research in manufacturing decision areas. The current paper is an exploratory study using six case companies on alternative configurations that can exist in a batch production system. Choices made in decisions such as layout, shop floor control, etc., were found to be similar for all six companies that use batch process. However, there were a number of decisions that were found to be non-process specific and are influenced by product complexity, important competitive priorities, strategic orientation of manufacturing, top management decisions and the size of the company. The paper concludes with managerial implications and future research directions. 相似文献

Titanium oxynitride films were deposited onto commercially pure titanium substrates by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering
method using Ti targets and an Ar–N2–O2 mixture discharge gas. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy survey spectra on the etched surfaces of TiON films exhibited
the characteristic Ti 2p, N 1s, and O 1s peaks at the corresponding binding energies 454.5, 397.0, and 530.7 eV, respectively.
The surface topography of these coatings was studied using atomic force microscopy. The characteristic Raman peaks at 200
and 641 cm−1 for the TiN bonds and at 148, 398 ,and 518 cm−1 for the TiO2 bonds were observed from the Laser Raman spectrometer. The potentiodynamic polarization studies in simulated bodily fluid
were performed and the results are reported in this article. 相似文献

Silica gel has been prepared by the hydrolysis of TEOS under three different pH conditions. These gels have been subjected to drying in an air oven, under humidity, and also by exposure to microwaves, followed by further calcination at 500°C under slow heating schedule (3°C/min). Silica samples thus obtained are characterised by B.E.T. specific surface area and pore volume data. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the precursor gels are also reported. The adsorption isotherms of these samples indicate different behaviour related to the method of synthesis. Increase in pH of hydrolysis of the TEOS from 3 to 8 results in increase in specific surface area in tune with the earlier reports. However more significant observation is the variation in pore size distribution as evidenced from adsorption isotherms related to method of drying. Silica gels prepared at pH 3 show Type I behaviour irrespective of the method of drying. However gel prepared at pH 6 shows Type II behaviour when dried under microwave with specific surface area as high as 635 m2/g and pore volume 0.9733 cc/g. The precursor gels prepared at still higher pH exhibit Type IV behaviour when subjected to microwave drying. The pH conditions of synthesis of precursor gels along with drying techniques appear to affect not only the surface areas and porosities but also the resultant adsorption isotherms, in sol-gel silica. 相似文献
