Spatial Organization of Innovation in the Oil Equipment Manufacturing Industry: Case of Dongying, China

As innovation and technological change have become increasingly important for the competitiveness and sustainable growth of firms,cooperative innovation is now crucial for traditional industries in the context of globalization.This paper proposes a framework for analyzing the spatial pattern of cooperative innovation for traditional industries in developing countries.Based on in-depth interviews with 35 firms in the oil equipment manufacturing industry in Dongying City,China,this study argues that different firms in the innovation pyramid have various innovation activity preferences and spatial patterns.Firms with high innovation abilities tend to cooperate with various partners that are geographically dispersed and continuously expanding,while firms with inferior abilities usually cooperate with nearby fixed partners.Due to the differences in innovation environment and actor locations,firms tend to make different choices regarding innovation types and models,which highlight the importance of personnel training and basic scientific research at the global scale and practical product research and development at the national scale.Additionally,talent flow is the most important way to realize relationships for firm innovation activity.

Resources publication and discovery in manufacturing grid

In the manufacturing grid＇s architecture, Resources Management System （RMS） is the central component responsible for disseminating resource information across the grid, accepting requests for resources, discovering and scheduling the suitable resources that match the requests for the global grid resource, and executing the requests on scheduled resources. In order to resolve the problem of resources publication and discovery in Manufacturing Grid （MGrid）, the classification of manufacturing resources is first researched after which the resources encapsulation class modes are put forward. Then, a scalable two-level resource management architecture is constructed on the model, which includes root nodes, domain nodes and leaf nodes.

The Optimization of Manufacturing Resources Allocation Considering the Geographical Distribution

From the perspective of the geographical distribution, considering production fare, supply chain information and quality rating of the manufacturing resource(MR), a manufacturing resource allocation(MRA) model considering the geographical distribution in cloud manufacturing(CM) environment is built. The model includes two stages, preliminary selection stage and optimal selection stage. The membership function is used to select MRs from cloud resource pool(CRP) in the first stage, and then the candidate resource pool is built. In the optimal selection stage, a multi-objective optimization algorithm, particle swarm optimization(PSO) based on the method of relative entropy of fuzzy sets(REFS_PSO), is used to select optimal MRs from the candidate resource pool, and an optimal manufacturing resource supply chain is obtained at last. To verify the performance of REFS_PSO, NSGA-Ⅱ and PSO based on random weighting(RW_PSO) are selected as the comparison algorithms. They all are used to select optimal MRs at the second stage. The experimental results show solution obtained by REFS_PSO is the best. The model and the method proposed are appropriate for MRA in CM.

Coordinating and Evaluating of Multiple Key Performance Indicators for Manufacturing Equipment: Case Study of Distillation Column

Manufacturing equipment takes the task of operation and directly effects on the manufacturing process. One single Key Performance Indicator （KPI） is mainly employed to evaluate equipment in most studies, neither integrating the KPIs into a completed evaluation system nor considering the impact and conflict among KPIs. In this paper, a KPI evaluation architecture is presented to define and analyze KPIs, and then a common structure for KPI to obtain the KPI set of manufacturing equipment is introduced. An available multi-KPl coordination model is proposed to discern and balance the relationship among multi-KPl. Finally, a case study is introduced to illustrate the applicability of the coordination model by using multi-objective optimization strategy and an efficient solution is obtained.
