Most companies look for improving product value and increase profit margins focusing on ‘cost out’ opportunities using Strategic sourcing, Function analysis, Value analysis, Value engineering, TRIZ, Tear down, Benchmarking etc. These have become vital elements of any discipline to analyse and reduce cost as customers are forced to develop products with stringent cost targets. This
Modern aircraft engine designs are driven towards higher operating temperature and lower coolant flow requirements. During the flight mission, the hot gas path components encounter flows at different pressure, temperature and turbulence conditions. During design of such components, there is always an interest towards fundamental understanding of the impact of inlet turbulence on overall performance.
This paper gives an overview of the need for innovation in Engineering Service Outsourcing (ESO) companies, the challenges faced and the way forward. Starting with a background of the outsourcing landscape, the evolving needs of the market/customers are detailed. A comparison of engineering services with the IT/BPO industry helps us draw parallels between drivers of
Fresh water reserves are becoming hardly usable due to extreme urbanization and industrialization. Groundwater reserves are turning saline due to seawater intrusion. Water demand for agriculture is also rising due to increased population. Stricter norms and regulations restrict industries from using freshwater sources for their industrial needs, thereby giving them no other option but to
Oil & Gas industry is governed by strict requirements for manufacturing and quality assurance. As a result, manufacturers place a great deal of emphasis on creating proper process planning documentation. This white paper deals with the challenges involved in generation of Master Routers for the Oil and Gas equipment manufacturing sector.
Engineering services market in India is addressed by two distinct players – MNC captives and third party vendors. The Indian engineering services industry is expected to be USD 40 billion by FY20204. Unlike IT Service providers, ESOs are involved in creation and/or sustenance of a product for product companies.This paper discusses versions of a generic
Airlines industry is a capital intensive industry. Due to the growing competition, the return on investment and the profits are reducing and the industry is facing with a big challenge to sustain profits. Aircraft sales directly rely on the aircraft engine market. In the recent times, aircraft manufacturers and airliners demand aircraft engines that provide
In order to achieve the stated objectives, a three step approach of developing a composite lab within an academic institution is proposed. We start this journey with a small step, i.e. the starting of a very simple composites laboratory, which is economically affordable, easily scalable and the end goal of which is to enable engineers
There is an increasing demand in aero-engine products for better efficiency and environmental performance while maintaining low product cost. Unlike performance, the theory behind cost effectiveness is not well understood. This white paper proposes a unit cost modelling methodology applied to an aero-engine part. An objective of the cost model is to allow engineers to
Repair Engineering is a part of maintenance engineering and is a vital function of aftermarket services. This is a complementary function of service engineering and plays an important role in deciding product replacement (product cost vs. repair cost). Repair engineering / Maintenance engineering / Service engineering are commonly used terminology in Aftermarket Services (AMS) and
