“…In addition, they also built a dynamic entropy model to appraise the rationality of the building structure. Peukert, Saoji, and Uhlmann [23] designed an original alternative product of traditional machine tool framework through integrating microsystem technology and lightweight modules. According to the general geometric requirements of machine tool frame, they formulated a set of rules to show the three different polyhedral building set methods and assess their advantages based on geometric function and sustainability criteria.…”

A system's configuration plays a significant role in promoting its efficient functioning. This article addresses the problem of the deficiency of algorithms that can be employed to appraise the running performance of a system in diverse manufacturing structures. First, a timeliness-quality entropy concept is presented according to the mechanisms of information transmission. Based on the conditional entropy theory, a timeliness-quality entropy approach, jointed a structure order index developed, is then proposed to appraise the order degree of manufacturing structures quantitatively and screen manufacturing structure solutions appropriately. In an empirical study, we target the different facilities layout design of a job shop before and after conducting technological transformation and compute the order index under the different layout types. Eventually, the result obtained illustrates the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach. Therefore, this approach provides crucial theoretical support and practical guidance for appraising and screening manufacturing structures.INDEX TERMS Manufacture structure appraisal, order index, timeliness-quality entropy, running performance.

“…More directly, Kroll et al [39] and Herrmann et al [29] explored light-weight design options available for machine tools. In this regard, researchers have focused on specific machine components with goal to reduce energy consumption, which include the work table [132,133], frame [134,135], tool column [136,137], controllers and drive systems [138][139][140], and spindle [141,142] components. Bengtsson and Kurdve [143] demonstrated a life cycle costing approach to guide component design/specification for machining equipment.…”

Society's consumption of natural resources and the impact of industrial activities on the environment has gained increasing attention over the last several decades. This paper provides a historical perspective on the origins of the environmental movement and its connection to industrial systems. Then, recent research related to product design, process improvement and change, green manufacturing planning, and the circular economy are described. With respect to product design, topics such as material selection and component light-weighting are considered. For process-related research, efforts such as operation changes and equipment design for reduced energy consumption are discussed. For manufacturing planning, new developments in process planning and production scheduling are highlighted that consider environmental performance. The concept of circular economy is examined critically, with particular emphasis placed on closing materials loops via recycling and remanufacturing. The paper concludes with a discussion of challenges and opportunities to achieve the goal of industrial sustainability.

“…Modular design is a concept which is currently applied in machine design due to various advantages. Applying modular design in a system contributes to the ability of producing various possible construction of a system and the flexibility in operation of the system, depending on the level of assembly on which a certain module of the system is able to connect to [15,16]. The test rig in this study is designed to incorporate this concept to fulfill the freedom of building desired components in a single kit.…”

As a basis to real application of rotating machineries operation, a test rig imitating the operation is designed for the research environment. The purpose of this study is to design a modular test rig which is able to facilitate different fault component combinations and evaluate the deformation pattern of the fabricated test rig. Rotating machineries face the probability of having simultaneous different faults and the study of this condition is limited. The designed test rig could be arranged into multiple configurations by adding or excluding desired components due to its modularity. This will be useful to study the response of each component during operation as well as the response of combinations of fault components. Included in this study is the analysis of the design, the components of the test rig and the final design as well as the experimental data results of the fabricated test rig. This test rig is beneficial for understanding the vibrational behavior of components especially in educational environment.
