This conference provides an excellent opportunity for delegates to exchange ideas on advanced and agile methods from the design,

manufacturing and business process perspectives, for industrial practitioners, academic researchers, engineering and business

graduate students in this field.

Prof. Subramaniam Ganesan (Oakland University, USA) in inaugural address explained the need of a convergence of industry best

practices, manufacturing technology, data capture, data mining and the cloud platform to reduce Manufacturing inefficiency.

Identifying the key causes of inefficiency in a manufacturing plant is an important step towards eliminating process bottlenecks.

Networked Sensors, Embedded Systems and information technology solutions play a crucial role in measuring critical parameters

and Data mining of causal relationships. Crucial Time and Opportunity could be lost in deploying such solutions. The challenges are

how to rapidly interconnect disparate 'multiple generations' of sensors and embedded systems and at the same time reliably feed the

data to the Enterprise Cloud.

An overwhelming response by audience to the conference

Prof. K. Narasimhan (IIT, Bombay) in his keynote address focus the need of Agile Manufacturing Technologies for Automotive

Light Weighting. He explained the use of Advanced High Strength Steels, Hydroforming, Tailor Welded Blanks and Hot Stamping

are examples of materials and processes that facilitate manufacturing of lighter cars. The traditional trial and error approach of

manufacturing process development and optimization are not suitable in today’s world of agile manufacturing. Keynote talk on

importance of sustainable and renewable energy innovation technology, policies and practices in global arena was delivered by Dr.

Deepak L. Waikar (Managing Partner, EduEnergy Consultants LLP, The Republic of Singapore). Advanced manufacturing

technologies and processes require considerably more energy and consequently produce higher greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore,

polices, framework and funding mechanisms have to be put in place for promoting sustainable as well as disruptive technology

innovations in adaptation of energy efficiency, energy conservation and renewable energy.

After keynote addresses, paper presentation of delegates from different industries, academic institutes and research scholar was held

parallel in four sessions. Each session was chaired and co-chaired by subject experts. In this four parallel session, total papers were

17 presented. Second session of keynote address was held from 15.20 to 18.30. In this session along with academician, industrial

experts brief the need and importance of agile manufacturing and agile software development.

Dr. V. M. Nandedkar, Convener, briefed about the conference

Mr. D. N. Dharurkar (MD, NAC Group, Aurangabad) mentioned gaps in industrial practices and theories. He has committed to

continually improve automotive products and process to meet requirements of their customers as early as possible. Hence alignment

between theory and practice is needed. Mr. Deodatta Tembhekar (Sr. Associate Vice-President, TIMF, Pune) noted the challenges of

Agile Manufacturing in India. With the launch of “Make in India” government of India is encouraging many global giants to make

India their manufacturing hub for worldwide distribution. This means, we have to set up the facilities to manufacture the products at

global scales. Besides this, the manufacturing facility needs to be flexible to accommodate changing business needs.

Prof. D. R. Peshwe (VNIT, Nagpur) introduce to Cryogenic Treatment on Polymers, Composites and Blends. The development of

new materials is driven by the increasing demand of better quality products, greater efficiency, increased service life and stringent

reliability requirements. Globally the material sector has witnessed significant growth of polymers. Polymers, polymer blends and

polymer composites have become a viable alternative for traditional materials such as steel or metals. Polymer performances are

enhanced using nano fillers, they are still prone to high wear and abrasion. The increasing use of these composites in aerospace and

automobile applications, demands for more understanding about their structure and the mechanisms involved in their enhanced

properties. It is expected that similar to other polymer composite systems, cryo-treating the CNT-polymer nano-composites may

enhance their performance.

Prof. P. M. Padole (VNIT, Nagpur) and Prof. Ajay Likhite ((VNIT, Nagpur) had demonstrated the applications of advanced

engineering techniques to biological systems. The study of human body and biological system is very complex. However, using

numerical methods like FEM, CFD etc., biological system can be studied with assumptions close to physical scenario. It can further

help the doctors in various decisions making and other difficulties which they face in clinical work. The modelling and simulation of

biological system can help the doctors and surgeons for better understanding of the problems as well as for carrying out mock

procedures.

A key note Address by Dr. Gopal N. Tiwari, IIT Delhi

Dr. Pathak felicitated Dr. G. N. Tiwari

Prof. G. N. Tiwari (IIT, Delhi) had demonstrated application of solar system for Water Purification. Solar distillation is a simple and

effective process of producing potable water from the filthy or contaminated saline water (feed water). It is just a duplicate copy of

hydrological process (or water cycle). The water in distiller (still) receives energy from the solar radiation and utilizes it to trigger the

evaporation. The solar still function is very easy and requires solar still facing towards solar noon e.g., towards south in case of single

slope and east-west in case of double slope solar still. The mechanism of condensation takes place so that potable water vapors drips

down on the one end of inner surface of transparent glass and collected there. This process eliminates contaminated salts, impurities

e.g. heavy metals, and other microscopic organisms (waterborne diseases) which infects human health and leads to diarrhea, fever

and even death. After second keynote addresses session, paper presentation of delegates from different industries, academic institutes

and research scholar was held parallel in three sessions. Each session was chaired and co-chaired by subject experts. In this three

session total papers was 13 presented. Here day 1 activities were completed.

Day 2 began with third keynote address session. In this session, Prof. S. S. Joshi (IIT, Bombay) shows the use of flexure-based

devices. Flexure-based devices have potential to cater to several handling requirements encountered during micro-fabrication as well

as micro-assembly domains, such as movement of cutting tools and micro-objects for assembly. Prof. P. P. Date (IIT, Bombay) had

described Light-weighting Technology and its effect in automotive sector. Agile manufacturing is needed for individualized

manufacture as opposed to mass manufacture. Light-weighting has implications on agile manufacturing. Manufacture of high quality

parts at low volumes economically is a creative challenge.

Prof. V. B. Khanapuri (NITIE, Mumbai) expressed his view through world class maintenance which is a key step towards agility. In a

highly dynamic business environment, agility in manufacturing will enhance the competitiveness of organizations. However, agility

has to be across the manufacturing value chain and achieving this would therefore require flexibility and responsiveness in strategies,

technologies, people and systems. New enabling technologies for agile manufacturing are highly demanding in terms better

performance and ensuring higher availability and reliability of the equipment. Over the years Maintenance systems have evolved

from reactive to proactive approaches and there is need to adopt holistic approach to be world class organizations.

Dr. Pathak felicitated Dr. D. R. Peshwe of VNIT, Nagpur

Prof. Vivek Khanzode (NITIE, Mumbai) had made Comparison between lean and agile systems. It reveals that while obvious

differences exist between the two systems, common factors are present. Further, on a number of aspects, agile systems are placed one

step ahead on lean. In such aspects, implementation of lean as first step towards agile proves beneficial as the organization learns in

the process and is able to cope up with greater challenges. For example, lean systems are able to manage a fair degree of product

range while agile systems require capabilities to produce a much greater variety of products. This is not possible unless equipment

flexibility and quick changeover practices are pushed to their limits. Lean requires an organization to acquire both these capabilities

helps as a step towards being more agile. Similarly, in lean system especially cellular manufacturing), operators are multi-skilled,

while in an agile environment, greater skill diversity and entrepreneurial characteristics are required.

Dr. Tungikar felicitated Dr. Pathak

Dr. Tungikar felicitated Dr. Nandedkar

Prof. M. M. Akarte (NITIE, Mumbai) discussed why manufacturing is important and how a firm can look at the manufacturing for

creating a competitive advantage in the market. The manufacturing competitiveness (performance) in the market is given by: the

selection of compatible production system to meet the customer requirements in terms of qualifiers and winners, and operationalize

decisions and trade-offs in the selected production system in favor of the competitive priority.
