Adopting industry 4.0 and lean practices in heavy metalworking: impact of human...
Jesus, Cristiano; Pontes, Eduardo; Lima, Rui M.; Lopes, Sérgio IvanLean Manufacturing culture is enshrined as an industrial management policy. Moreover, production planning and manufacturing operations management tools, such as Work Sampling (WS), has long been successfully used. WS is known for its ability to support decision-making, especially regarding production capacity and delivery times. This paper presents the results of a pilot study developed in a heavy metalworking ...
Analysis of teachers’ competences for industry 4.0 subjects: a case of thai hig...
Lima, Rui M.; Sousa, Rui M.; Costa, Lino; Jesus, Cristiano; Mesquita, Diana; Kengpol, Athakorn; Meethom, Warapoj; Koomsap, PisutThe era of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) requires technology and engineering higher education institutions to provide their students with the competences inherent to this evolution. This requires teaching staff training, but first, naturally, teachers’ level of competences must be assessed. The objective of this work is to assess the current level of teaching staff self-perceived competences related to product, process, ...
KPI tree - a hierarchical relationship structure of key performance indicators ...
Bumba, Alberto; Gomes, Manuel; Jesus, Cristiano; Lima, Rui M.Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) have been a potential answer to problems related to production systems monitoring, allowing the management and manipulation of data collected at various levels in organizations. PMS can be defined as a group of indicators in an information system. There are several types of PMS, however, the relationship between indicators in a PMS is still an issue that needs to be explore...

Generic XR game-based approach for industrial training
Santos, Jose Eduardo; Nunes, Miguel; Pires, Marcelo; Rocha, Jose; Sousa, Nuno; Adao, Telmo; Magalhães, Luís Gonzaga Mendes; Jesus, CristianoOver the years several Virtual Reality- (VR) and Augmented Reality- (AR) based learning environments have been proposed. However, they are usually built for a specified scenario and possess a very limited set of configurations. Moreover, the proposed solutions are designed solely to VR- or AR-based learning environments and only a few propose solutions that use both learning environments for training. The prese...
SPC-based model for evaluation of training processes in industrial context
Jesus, Cristiano; Marcorin, Adilson; Lima, Rui M.; Sousa, Rui M.; Souza, Ingrid Teixeira; Oliveira, ElianaPurpose: This article aims to present successful practices in the management of training processes based on virtual reality and augmented reality, namely a strategy for evaluating the process with the principle of continuous improvement in mind, and monitoring its performance in terms of productivity and waste levels. It is proposed to apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools to develop control charts for ...
Study of the Portuguese challenges in the context of European Union to identify...
Jesus, Cristiano; Lima, Rui M.The adaptation of business models to the Industry 4.0 is an urgent demand and a clear concern that emerges from economic relations. However, the concepts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the ways of implementation are not yet assimilated at all by the agents of the productive sector and the scientific researches carried out, in many cases, present solutions that are too generic, so that the companies, in...
A maturity model proposal with readiness level assessment for organizational pr...
Jesus, Cristiano; Lima, Rui M.; Barretiri, Leandro Gustavo; Lopes, Sergio IvanThe improvement of organizational processes typically relies on opportunities identified by a prior assessment procedure. For example, process digitalization improvement in organizations requires prior knowledge of its digital maturity, thus operating as a starting point for the adoption of a validated and systematized methodology. This work presents a proposal of a maturity model with a readiness level assessm...
Business processes reconfiguration through the implementation of an enterprise ...
Jesus, Cristiano; Lima, Rui M.The use of technology in organizations does not always produce the expected effects, because the cause-effect relationship in efficiency, productivity and therefore competitiveness is not linear. The available resources, ways of access and their capacities in terms of storage, processing and speed of response are known, however they are not always assimilated by the agents of the productive sector as they shoul...
An innovative approach to computer mathematics teaching in a large engineering ...
Espírito Santo, I. A. C. P.; Jesus, CristianoThis work describes the changes in a CU (curricular unit), Numerical Methods, that occurs in the second semester of the second year in the master’s programme of mechanical engineering, in 2020-2021. The methodology used in this CU was obsolete and has been taught with expositive classes and practical classes with little participation of the students. The big challenges are the dimension of the class (112 studen...
