- Improving manufacturing system design using particular and partial instantiated models based on an integrated product, processand ,manufacturing system reference framework(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-03) Ramírez Alba, José Antonio; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; tolmquevedo; Rodríguez-Salvador, Marisela; Escuela de Ingeniería y Ciencias; Campus Ciudad de México; Ponce Cruz, PedroModern manufacturing systems have faced several changes in recent decades. The creation of Industry 4.0 and the changing dynamics of markets place an increasing pressure to generate better manufacturing systems that are flexible but robust at the same time. In this way, it arises the need to assist in the design, modification or improvement of manufacturing systems at different scales, both in large manufacturers and small and medium-sized enterprises. To help with this goal, enterprise modelling architectures supports the specific description of various aspects of an enterprise and assist in the product lifecycle development by reusing general models that can be tailored to particular scenarios through instantiation processes. This work improves the development of manufacturing systems through partial and particular instantiated models based on the Integrated Product, Process and Manufacturing System Development methodology. These methodology benefits from the characterization of different industrial sectors to provide a collection of tools and activities that avoid starting developing manufacturing systems from anew. In this way, the proposed solution is to create the particular models to assist in the design of different manufacturing scenarios: (i) product transfer, (ii) technology transfer and (ii) manufacturing system design. The design consists of generating: (i) decision flow diagrams to assist in the definition of the manufacturing system type, (ii) engineering activities to support the development of the system, (iii) different toolboxes to straightforward the activities achievements and, (iv) a general map to guide the development of particular instantiations of the model. To verify the efficiency of this model, case studies are created in which the particular project activities are developed, and finally, the results are measured by qualitative and quantitative parameters to allow performance measurement of the present work.
- Targeting the Promotion of Incubating SMEs Competencies Through the Integration of a Business Incubation Process with a Virtual Enterprise Creation Process-Edición Única(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2009-07-01) Rodrigo Márquez Castillo; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Pérez Guardado, Miguel Ángel; Espadas Pech, Javier Mijail; Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey; Acevedo Mascarúa, JoaquínNowadays, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) represent most of the income in the economies around the World. In spite of their undeniable importance, SMEs are highly prone to fail, in Mexico for example: around 90% of the SMEs go bankrupt before reaching their first year of existence, and this problem is caused very often by the little effectiveness of the companies to commercialize their products and/or services. On the other hand, due to their informality and size, SMEs are managed generally by their owners, who usually lack of managing skills though they stand-out in operative-oriented skills caused by their closeness to company’s daily operation. This situation represents a threat for the existence of SMEs because of the need of developing business skills in order to sell their products and/or services. The competency-based collaboration, achieved through a Virtual Enterprise creation process, allows companies to promote their competencies in the same way as they promote their products and services; this kind of collaboration generates two important advantages for companies, the first one is the raise in the number of markets they will be able to reach and the second one is their involvement in collaboration business opportunities. Companies that belong to incubation stages are prone to adopt a schema of collaboration based-on competencies integration because incubation is the time when companies define important aspects like products and services that they will offer to the market and the competencies required to produce them. In order to allow incubating companies to collaborate using a competency-based collaborative model, this research work proposes the integration between the ITESM business incubation model and the Virtual Enterprise creation process developed by ECOLEAD project. To achieve the proposed integration a modeling exercise including the ITESM business incubation processes and the Virtual Enterprise creation process using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and Business Process Integration concepts was carried-out. Finally, it was developed a prototype tool implementing the business process integration previously described. This tool was designed using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to facilitate the implementation of the Web Services needed to carry-out the proposed integration.

- Assessment on Enterprise Architecture and Methodologies(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2008-05-01) Mendez Barreiro, Juan Carlos; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; tolmquevedo; Tecnológico de Monterrey, Universidad VirtualFrom the beginning of my professional work as a researcher and consultant in the area of enterprise architectures I found that enterprises are facing new challenges to maintain and improve their market-share and their competitiveness. These new challenges mean that they have to respond in a more agile and precisely way to new customer requirements. These customer requirements have to be identified with no doubts by answering questions like where, when, how and what needs are needed to be satisfied in an enterprises by focusing in their expertise in order to adapt their business processes to be able to respond to the customer requirements. According with Professor Williams (Williams, 1996) architectures can be of either two types. Type I presents a pictorial description or model of the physical organization or structure and Type II describes or models the steps of the process of development of enterprise integration. Actual research in heading to define the content and the structure of any organization, in terms of architecture structure (Type II), content, definitions and other aspects that define what is an enterprise. With the knowledge developed on Enterprise Architecture (Type II) no more questions will come from the people in charge of defining the business processes in terms of what to model and how to model in an enterprise. This knowledge is known as "Enterprise Architecture and Methodology" and is already defined as an ISO standard (ISO 15704, ISO 19439 & ISO 19440). So this thesis is using the ISO standard to structure a serial of matrices that will help an enterprise and their stakeholders and practitioners to find out what is missing in its enterprise model. The thesis does not intent to say what aspects are better to fulfill in a specific enterprise mission, but to establish that lacks that contain the aspects that are weaknesses to obtain the enterprise performance and competitiveness. The reader will find a complete methodology to perform an assessment and discover those weaknesses in its enterprise model. Also it will find a study case that will give an example of what to expect from the assessment proposed. But remember it is not the intention to give guidelines of what to improve to fulfill an enterprise mission, just to show the gaps in a particular enterprise model against the standard.
- Reference Model and Methodology to Improve the Product Development Process-Edición Única(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2007-05-01) Nicolás Enrique Peñaranda Verdeza; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Guerra Zubiaga, David; Ramirez Mendoza, Ricardo; ITESM-Campus Monterrey; Ángel Bello, FranciscoProduct development managers are looking for new ways to improve their product development process. Emerging concepts and solutions as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), which is based on Concurrent Engineering (CE), carries out this improvements, achieving reductions in time and cost in the product development process. However, there is a lack of a particular reference model and methodology to achieve a successful PLM implementation within companies. Enterprise Integration Engineering (EIE) is a reference model that can be used to develop a particular reference model for the product development process. This reference model for product development aligns the enterprise strategies with the use of product development tools in order to impact key performance indicators in the company. Also, EIE reference model helps to define strategies, evaluate performance measures, design/re-design processes and establish the enabling tools and technologies. However, a reference model doesn’t have a methodology to implement systematically these changes in the company. For this reason, Action Research (AR) is used to guide the improvement of the product development process, proposing changes in the resources, organization, functional (process model) and information model. AR is customized, defining specific activities for each cycle developed. It is necessary to demonstrate this methodology using a case study, which is used to validate the benefits of this methodology proposed. This case study is developed in a Mexican company, which have the interest to improve its product development process. Final Conclusions are described based on the experiences in the implementation of this methodology. These conclusions are based on the technological and human resources, information, organization and functional changes developed in the case study. Current Technologies can reach a complete Product Lifecycle Management, however previous works are demonstrated that just implement technological resources do not guarantee an improvement of the product development. For this reason, in this thesis is highlighted the necessity to use a methodology that also propose changes in the company organization and product development activities. Finally, Impacts and benefits to implement these improvements are evaluated.
- An Instantiation Methodology for Virtual Breeding Environments Management-Edición Única(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2007-03-01) Romero Díaz, David C.; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Galeano Sánchez, Natalie; Ramírez Mendoza, Ricardo; ITESM-Campus Monterrey; Dieck Assed, GracianoVirtual Organization Breeding Environments (VBEs) are long-term cluster/associations of autonomous, geographically dispersed and heterogeneous organizations. The VBE aims to prepare its member’s organizations and support institutions, and enhance their readiness for potential involvement in collaboration opportunity-based Virtual Organizations. A Virtual Organization (VO) is defined as a temporally association of (legally) independent organizations that come together to share skills and resources to achieve a common goal, such as preparing a proposal (or a bid), or jointly performing the tasks needed to satisfy a market/society opportunity by co-producing products/services for the customer, and whose cooperation is supported by computer networks. Effectively managing of a Virtual Breeding Environment (VBE) is bound to the objective of preparing VBE members and maintaining this preparedness for collaboration in a Virtual Organization (VO). As such, preparedness is a strategic item that requires time to be established and must be refreshed and maintained throughout the entire VBE life cycle. Implementing and efficiently managing a VBE helps to shrink VO set-up times in contrast to selecting enterprises from an “open universe” of enterprises that never collaborated before. Collaboration Opportunities (CO) can be captured much faster and more reliably when using means of a VBE. Keeping enterprises prepared for collaboration requires management of various kinds of information and business processes. The VBE Management Framework proposed in this thesis is designed to depict all the management business processes needed to create, operate/evolve, metamorphe and dissolve a VBE according to the models and concepts developed within ECOLEAD project. The VBE Management Framework has the objective to give a prioritization of all VBE management processes to be supported by human or information system interactions through VBE life cycle. Finally, a VBE Instantiation Methodology, as a set of guidelines and suggested tools, is proposed to instantiate the VBE Management Framework in different Virtual Breeding Environments domains
- Implementación de un Sistema de Información de Manufactura que Utiliza una Base de Datos de Ingeniería para el Desarrollo del Proceso de Nuevos Productos-Edición Única(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2006-07-01) Dávila Márquez, Alfonso; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Galeano Sánchez, Nathalíe; Guerra Zubiaga, David Apolinar; ITESM-EGADE; Hernández Luna, Alberto A.
- A Reference Model Instantiation to Develop a Methodology from Mechatronic Product Desig: In Wireless Sensor Network Application -Edición Única(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2006-05-01) Delgado Arcos, Roberto Cristian; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Guedea Elizalde, Federico; Céspedes Mota, Armando; ITESM-Campus Monterrey; Viramontes Brown, Federico A.Currently the process of manufacturing has been changed according to the customer’s requirements. Actual trends in manufacturing, such as mass customization, shorter product life, frequent of changes of design, small inventory restrictions, legal restrictions (energy, environment pollution), etc., presses to companies to employ different technologies in order to be more competitive and efficient. Recently, the industry has been developed some concepts to overcome current currently challenges. For example: process automation (PA), factory automation (FA), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) etc., but these concepts need some technologies for achieving the best performance and ensuring product quality. Sensors are fundamental devices or systems in the automation process. Sensors and the sensor systems must work with some performance; the performance are based in electrical, electronic and mechanical characteristics (accuracy, repeatability, small size, low power consumption, practical installation, frequency bandwidth, ration noise, linearity, etc.), but of single sensor is not enough for multivariable detection and conversion of industrial variables, because the number of parameters is relatively large. The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have a lot of features that make them attractive such as an instrument of solution for different challenges in the actual industry or factory. This technology can achieve the new requirements in futures aspects of the manufacturing. This thesis proposes an integrated methodology for Mechatronic Product Development using the Wireless Sensor Network technology. The methodology allows to create a mechatronic product from the reference and partial model to a particular model through instantiation. The methodology is based in stages, each stage has activities performed to achieve a result in a specific process. The stages are from product planning to prototyping (product planning, conceptual design, embodiment design and prototyping) and the activities of the design process [(1) Analysis: are oriented to diagnose, define and prepare information, (2) Synthesis: are oriented to put all elements together to produce new effects and to demonstrate that these effects create an overall order. (3) Evaluation: are oriented to test those solutions against the goals and requirements] in each stage. This methodology emphasized in the coupling between each area (mechanical, electronic and software) and the electronic design. The case of study was the development a mechatronic product to demonstrate the usefulness of the methodology. The mechatronic product was an integrated product for monitoring remotely pneumatic pressure in industrial pipelines using commercial WSN, the system developed covered the mechanical design of the attaching system for the sensor. The conditioning of the electrical signal from the sensor and the programming of the sensor capabilities for remote data access and management using real-time operating system called TinyOS. The data gathered from the WSN were displayed in a personal computer (PC). The principal results obtained on this research thesis were: (1) A methodology to develop mechatronics products form the reference and partial model to particular model through instantiation (2) A case study was developed to demonstrate how to use the methodology to develop mechatronics products using Wireless Sensor Networks technology, (3) A mechatronic product for monitoring remotely pneumatic pressure in industrial pipelines with following features: small size, low power consumption, wireless data transmission, “ad- hoc” network, etc. VI Some conclusions obtained from this thesis were: (1) Although the concept of measurement physical variables using wireless technologies has been applied, the proposed solutions have not been integrated with the methodology to develop mechatronics products using Wireless Sensor Networks nor the signal conditioning and power management to integrate new Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) (2) The methodology provides some benefits: fulfills the customers needs, solves some design problems, prevents some failures in design, reduces the time of design, etc. (3) The literature review showed that there are a lot of methodologies to product design. These methodologies do not provide a particular model to mechatronic product or mechatronics product based in wireless sensor network technologies (4). The case of the study helped to identify important areas of further work in power management, data sampling, communications, and software design. (5) The methodology, in this case of study, fulfilled with the objectives, but the correct validation will be based in more case of study

- The application of inclusive design approach in the conceptual design of mechatronic products and reconfigurable manufacturing systems(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2004-12-01) Guízar Castrejón, Luis Manuel; MOLINA GUTIERREZ, ARTURO;;2015309; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Ramírez Cadena, Miguel de Jesús; Céspedes Mota, Armando; Programa de Graduados en Ingeniería; Campus MonterreyIn the current rapidly ageing world, there is no commercial or social sense to design, develop or attempt to market products and services whose usability is unnecessarily, challenging to people, whether they be young or old, able-bodied or less able. There is the need to design and develop products with some functional capabilities that fulfill the needs of the widest possible population. This thesis is a research of how the inclusive design concepts can be applied and integrated in the process of product planning and its conceptual design. The methodology consists of a series of methods, considerations and activities that must be undertaken to perform a good design focusing on disabled people with the help of useful tools of the inclusive design. In addition, in this thesis is given a methodology for incorporating inclusive design concepts in reconfigurable manufacturing systems to enhance their key characteristics with the focus on a user centered approach, considering fully able users. The methodology comprehends an evaluation system for a FMS and the proposal to improve the system oriented to users. This thesis represents the use of wireless sensor technology to improve the assistive characteristics of products in the first part of mechatronic product design; and the addition of automation characteristics to the reconfigurable manufacturing systems to improve the system features and provide a better customization to users. Two case studies are developed in this thesis; the first one is the conceptual design of three mechatronic products and their improved capabilities with inclusive design. Then, a second case study with the addition of inclusive design to a existing manufacturing cell to achieve reconfigurability and improve its characteristics with the inclusive design approach.
