In order to obtain a better product it is important to integrate the consumer requests in all production levels, starting with research, design and till the end of production process. One of the most popular methods used to increase the quality of a product is Quality Function Deployment. The result of application of QFD method in footwear is presented in this paper. The consumer requests are expressed by completing a questionnaire. The group of respondents consists of men and women, between 20 and 50 years old, who practice fitness more than twice a week. Their opinions are inventoried, analysed and in the end, the most important ones are the input information for the quality house. The result of the study is a better product and for the producers a guideline to obtain a product according to consumer expectations. KEY WORDS: Quality Function Deployment, fitness footwear, quality house. APLICAŢII ALE METODEI QFD ÎN PRODUCŢIA ÎNCĂLŢĂMINTEI PENTRU FITNESS REZUMAT. Pentru obţinerea unui produs de încălţăminte superior este important să fie integrate cerinţele consumatorilor în toate fazele de obţinere, începând de la cercetare, proiectare şi până la finalul procesului de producţie. Una din cele mai populare metode de a creşte calitatea unui produs este desfăşurarea funcţiei calităţii (QFD). Această lucrare prezintă aplicarea metodei pentru un produs de încălţăminte. Opiniile consumatorilor au fost exprimate cu ajutorul unui chestionar. Grupul ţintă este format din bărbaţi şi femei, cu vârste cuprinse între 20 şi 50 de ani, care practică fitness mai mult de două ori pe săptămână. Cerinţele lor au fost analizate, iar cele mai importante au ajutat la construcţia casei calităţii. Rezultatul studiului îi ajută pe producători să obţină produse conform aşteptărilor consumatorilor. CUVINTE CHEIE: QFD, încălţăminte sport, casa calităţii APPLICATIONS DE LA MÉTHODE QFD DANS LA PRODUCTION DES CHAUSSURES SPORT RÉSUMÉ. Afin d'obtenir un produit de qualité supérieure, il est important d'intégrer les exigences du consommateur dans toutes les phases de la production, à partir de la recherche, de la conception et jusqu'à la fin du processus de production. L'une des méthodes les plus populaires pour augmenter la qualité d'un produit est le déploiement de la fonction qualité (QFD). Cet article présente l'application de cette méthode dans la production de chaussures. Les opinions des consommateurs ont été exprimées à l'aide d'un questionnaire. Le groupe cible comprend des hommes et des femmes de 20 à 50 ans qui pratiquent le fitness plus de deux fois par semaine. Leurs besoins ont été analysés, et les plus importants ont contribué à construire la maison de la qualité. Le résultat de l'étude aide les producteurs à obtenir les produits attendus par les consommateurs. MOTS CLÉS : déploiement de la fonction qualité, chaussures sport, maison de la qualité

ABSTRACT. The aim of the study is to analyse the foot-footwear interaction. It has two different parts. The first part includes a foot health evaluation, using ESP questionnaire, a visual identification of the foot disorders and anomalies and the taking of the footprint and subsequent gait analysis. In order to exemplify this relation, a subject with foot anomalies was considered. The ESP score determined for the subject indicates a very good health status with minor health problems. Obviously, this score must be correlated with the age of the subject. The result of the ESP questionnaire justifies a deeper research because, in this case, the subject is young. The footprint analysis highlights a semi high arch foot and the gait analysis emphasizes two important abnormal aspects. The second part includes the analysis of a pair of shoes and the calculation of the shoe quality index. The calculation was carried out for a comfortable shoe with a lower degree of wear. The index can be calculated with or without input information from the subject. The results can be different and highlight the most important footwear requirements for the subject. KEY WORDS: foot, ESP questionnaire, gait analysis, quality index, footwear. INTERACÞIUNEA PICIOR-ÎNCÃLÞÃMINTE ÎN ANALIZA CONFORTULUI PICIORULUI ªI A CALITÃÞII ÎNCÃLÞÃMINTEIREZUMAT. Scopul lucrãrii constã în analiza relaþiei picior-încãlþãminte-mediu. Analiza cuprinde douã pãrþi. Prima parte constã în evaluarea stãrii de sãnãtate a piciorului, utilizând chestionarul ESP, identificarea vizualã a afecþiunilor ºi anomaliilor piciorului ºi analiza amprentelor plantare ºi a mersului. În vederea exemplificãrii relaþiei picior -încãlþãminte, a fost ales un subiect al cãrui picior prezintã anomalie. Pentru acest subiect scorul ESP indicã o sãnãtate foarte bunã, dar cu mici probleme ale picioarelor. Evident, acest scor trebuie corelat cu vârsta subiectului. Rezultatul chestionarului ESP justificã o analizã mai aprofundatã deoarece, în acest caz, subiectul este tânãr. Analiza amprentei plantare evidenþiazã un picior semi-scobit, iar analiza mersului relevã douã aspecte anormale importante. A doua parte cuprinde analiza unui produs de încãlþãminte ºi calcularea indicelui de calitate. Calculul indicelui a fost fãcut pentru o încãlþãminte confortabilã ºi cu un anumit grad de uzurã. Indicele poate fi calculat cu ºi fãrã a þine cont de opinia subiectului. Rezultatul poate fi diferit ºi evidenþiazã care sunt cele mai importante cerinþe ale încãlþãmintei pentru subiect. CUVINTE CHEIE: picior, chestionar ESP, analiza mersului, indicele de calitate, încãlþãminte. L'INTERACTION PIED-CHAUSSURE DANS L'ANALYSE DU CONFORT DU PIED ET DE LA QUALITÉ DE CHAUSSURESRÉSUMÉ. Le but du travail est l'analyse de la relation pied-chaussures-environnement. Cette analyse comporte deux parties. La première de celles-ci fait référence à l'évaluation de l'état de santé du pied tout en utilisant le questionnaire ESP, l'identification visuelle des affections et des anomalies du pied, l'analyse des empreintes plantaires ...
The term Internet of Things as a component of Future Internet is a recent fast growing global network infrastructure which extends Internet with a sensors and actuators shield. The paper presents a hands-on learning kit based on an open standard embedded computer connected to Internet enabling live data processing. The system uses cloud programming tools to add significant value to the education purpose, by including up-to-date innovative technical approaches and pedagogical values for improving the attractiveness and efficiency of the education activities in the engineering area. The learning goal intends to develop the Internet of things as new universe based on smart objects, connected to the Internet via adequate sensors and actuators. This can be an essential tool for a deeper understanding of the main concepts in physics, informatics and math, even in the early steps of learning. Based on cloud programming resources, the hardware-software components use the latest version of low power 32-bit embedded computer development platform and process interfaces to allow data monitoring, remote physical experiments, mobile world supervising, and collaborative project development. As an open standard learning tool, the kit offers a new computational framework able to serve in scientific experiments and discovery-based learning. This study was strongly motivated by the European Union recommendation to support and enrich the university curriculum by engaging students in hands-on engineering and design activities.
During conventional finishing textile processes it is necessary a big consumption both of water and energy. This aspectsare is imposed by the development process of thermo and mass transfer of finishing agents into the textile structure materials applied in dentistry (fibers, yarns, fabric, nonwovens). The intensification of transfer processes into the textile materials is realized in conventional finishing textile industry (washing, cleaning, and coloring) by using high work temperature. The negative result of this intervention and the presence of chemical substances without degradation mean the environment pollution by the pour out residual water with a great quantity of toxic substances. The recently laboratory scientific research showed that the use of ultrasonic systems in finishing textile materials contributes both to the acceleration of thermo and mass transfer and to the decreasing of active chemical substances. In this way the paper presents a finishing system based on ultrasonic processes which is composed by modules and specific hardware components.
