Study Details Baseline Needs to Bring Factories into Compliance with Labor Standards.
December 20, 2021  |  Carly Brown
Researchers from North Carolina State University have conducted an in-depth study to establish all of the actions apparel factories will need to take in order to come into compliance with international labor standards. The study is a first step toward determining what such compliance would cost consumers, and building support for making the needed changes.

Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies

Hosang Jung, Fengshan Frank Chen, Bongju Jeong
Springer Science & Business Media, 17-Jul-2007 - Business & Economics - 451 pages

With the rapid development of information and network technologies and market requirements, new challenges in supply chain design and management have emerged. Notably, there are four new technologies which can affect traditional supply chain management: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology; mobile transaction technology; information handling and storage technology; and multi-agent technology. These new technologies enable global companies to change their ways of thinking about supply chain management in order to cope with the changing environment. In line with this rapid development of technologies are new challenging methodologies: sustainable supply chain management, advanced supply chain planning, available-to-promise (ATP) system and lean supply chain design and management.

Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies is a collection of chapters from active researchers and practitioners which describe new trends in supply chain design and management with emphasis on technologies and methodologies. Each chapter contains guidelines detailing the real-world application(s) of the presented technologies and methodologies.

By reading Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies, researchers will gain an insight into the evolving trends in supply chain design and management and practitioners will learn about the practical applications of the technologies and methodologies discussed. This book could also be used as a reference handbook by lecturers and postgraduate students in advanced supply chain design and management.

Producrt Industrial Engineering - GAN PCB

 Optimizing PCB layout for GaN transistors

The fast switching speed of GaN transistors brings various advantages ranging from higher efficiency to power density but can make PCB layout more challenging.


For years, the standard solution has been to slow down the switching speed of power devices, coming at the cost of increased power consumption and reduced efficiency. Obviously, this solution is no longer ideal.

Optimizing PCB Layout for HV GaN Power Transistors


Abstract:

Printed circuit board (PCB) layout has been an integral aspect of power electronic design since the first switching power supplies appeared more than 40 years ago. Regardless of the transistor technology, the parasitic impedances added to the circuit by the PCB layout must be understood and managed for the circuit to function correctly, reliably, and without causing undue electromagnetic interference (EMI).
