BACKGROUND Bangladesh Steel industry is emerging as one of the major industrial sectors of the country. It consists of small up to the largest scale of steel melting and re-rolling factories across the country that mostly produce deformed bar rod of different grade (40, 60, 500), angel, channel and coil for the construction industry. Though the history of Steel Industry is not older one but it can make a glorious future. Before 1971 Bangladesh did not have any steel mill and even after the liberation there were only a few steel factories in the country. In 1990s the actual development began in this sector through a revolution. During that period the building constructing agencies or developer companies came forward to build modern infrastructure. Then with the increasing demand, new investors started investing in steel or rod production. In 2012 we have almost 400 mills across the country including Dhaka, Chittagong...

Supplier firms under increasing pressure from relentless competitive forces are seeking to retain and grow the share of business from profitable existing customers as a means of finding a way out of downward spiralling price pressures. While a lot has been written in academics about the importance of CVM, several gaps remain on understanding how a large company actually undertakes this journey. Crafting competitive value chains and focusing on streams of competition are also emerging as important agenda for supplier firms since, increasingly, the end customer is no longer willing to pay for inefficiencies in the value chains. In this context, the challenge...

Supplier firms under increasing pressure from relentless competitive forces are seeking to retain and grow the share of business from profitable existing customers as a means of finding a way out of downward spiralling price pressures. While a lot has been written in academics about the importance of CVM, several gaps remain on understanding how a large company actually undertakes this journey. Crafting competitive value chains and focusing on streams of competition are also emerging as important agenda for supplier firms since, increasingly, the end customer is no longer willing to pay for inefficiencies in the value chains. In this context, the challenge for a supplier firm in business markets is no longer restricted to getting its own operations in order, but, additionally, it must ensure that multiple interfaces that exist across the entire value chain all the way until the end customer are streamlined so that the value chain is free of value drains and every meaningful opportunity to create value is exploited. In this paper, the authors present the experiences of the India-based Tata Steel in implementing CVM across 25 select customers. This has enabled it to successfully...

...history and that our manufacturing industry is number one in the world. Another surprise to me was that paper is America’s number one export. It is important to understand that the video makes the distinction that American manufacturing has lost jobs in many of the non-value added categories, but growth is happening at a record pace in the high skilled, value-added categories. I attribute this growth to three significant factors, each of which is reflected in all of the companies highlighted in the video. These factors are efficiency, innovation, and connectivity. In this paper, I will discuss how each of these factors is a significant contributor to the growth of the American manufacturing industry. Efficiency Efficiency is one of the biggest factors driving manufacturing growth today. Over the last 40 years, global manufacturing improvements have put pressure on domestic manufacturing firms to compete with lower process costs, higher production capabilities, and cheaper labor sources. This competition spurred the need for process improvement. As a result, the lean manufacturing philosophy was embraced. Lean manufacturing puts focus on process efficiency by reducing process costs through quality improvements, supply chain improvements, and standardization. So how exactly has lean manufacturing driven growth? The answer is surprisingly simple. Manufacturing companies...

...market themselves. In order to properly market themselves, a potential candidate has to know the resources in which to present themselves as good employee material. It is always a good idea to have a plan in place of the places that employment is desired. Then research those companies and determine what the best way to present a resume is. It is always a good idea to research the companies to begin with in order to come to a good determination as to whether or not this company is one that is good to work for. There are four businesses that I researched and have submitted my resume and applications. I will discuss which companies I chose, why I chose them and the steps that I took in order to present myself to their HR Departments. I have been doing this for the past 3 years, so I have some good references and a little bit knowledge as to how some of these companies perform their hiring process. The first company that I researched and chose to apply with is Ford Motor Company. Ford Motor Company is an organization that I chose because the pay and benefits are great and if you can get through the probation period, it can be a very good job. I looked them up online and found that Ford Motor Company is always hiring however you have to know exactly what positions are open that fit your qualifications in the area in which you want to work. The online application is very long and tiresome and it is often times overlooked. From my experiences, it is better if...

...Advances in Metal Forming Research at the Center for Precision Forming - Industry/University Cooperation – T. Altan, P. Sartkulvanich, N. Kardes The Center for Precision Forming (CPF), The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA Abstract The demand for application for lightweight materials such as Ultra/Advanced High Strength Steels (U/AHSS), aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and boron steels in automotive industry is increasing to reduce vehicle weight and increase crash performance. The use of these relatively new materials requires advanced and reliable techniques to a) obtain data on material properties and flow stress, b) predicting springback and fracture in bending and flanging, c) selecting lubricants and die materials/coatings for stamping and forging and d) designing tools for blanking and shearing. In addition, designing the process and tooling for a) hot stamping of boron steels, b) warm forming of Al and Mg alloys, and c) optimizing the use of servo-drive presses require advanced Finite Element based simulation methods. CPF is conducting R&D in most of these topics and also in many hot and cold forging related topics. This paper gives an overview of this research and discusses how the research results are applied in cooperation with industry. Keywords: Metal Forming, Sheet metal, Forging, FEM 1 INTRODUCTION The Center for Precision Forming (CPF) has been established with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and a number of companies (www.cpforming.org)...
