Business process mapping is the strategic analysis of identifying and creating a visual depiction of the process flow of various areas of an organization. For example, the supply chain cycle is an ...

One piece flow processes are a type of optimization method that possess some significant advantages over batch processing, especially with respect to waste reduction, time reduction and increased ...

Modern microservices architectures are event-driven, reactive, and choreographed (as opposed to being centrally controlled via an orchestrator). That makes them loosely coupled and easy to change.

Processes and process automation take many forms. Here’s how to navigate the growing ecosystem of tools for automating everything from simple repetitive tasks to complex custom workflows. In 2015, ...

Process engineers and integrators can use virtual process modeling to test alternative process schemes and architectures without relying on wafer-based testing. One important aspect of building an ...

The structural optimization of internal flow channels in hydraulic systems is critical for enhancing overall performance and achieving lightweight design. However, most existing optimization studies ...

Semiconductor process engineers would love to develop successful process recipes without the guesswork of repeated wafer testing. Unfortunately, developing a successful process can’t be done without ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...
