The design of flexible manufacturing systems using an extended unified framework
Henry Y.K. Lau, K.L. MakAn effective system development paradigm and its associated design tools can streamline the production of flexible manufacturing systems. In view of the technological advances in…
Modelling uncertainty under a multi‐echelon ERP‐controlled manufacturing system
Siau Ching Lenny Koh, Sameh SaadThis paper discusses the experimental work in modelling uncertainty under a multi‐echelon enterprise resource planning (ERP)‐controlled manufacturing system. A new method known as…
Total quality management in strategy and operations: dynamic grounded models
Denis Leonard, Rodney McAdamThe aim of this paper is to explore and represent the dynamic relationship between total quality management (TQM), corporate strategy and resultant business operations. In…
Improved efficiency with production disturbance reduction in manufacturing systems based on discrete‐event simulation
Arne Ingemansson, Gunnar S. BolmsjöDiscrete‐event simulation (DES) and disturbance reduction techniques are a combination for improving efficiency in manufacturing systems. The DES modelling allows different tests…
Logistic service measurement: a reference framework
Carlo RafeleMany companies measure their logistic performances using several methods. As a consequence, various sets of indicators can be found in practice and in the literature. In…
A sequencing algorithm for makespan minimization in FMS
Shiu‐Hong Choi, James Siu‐Lung LeeJob sequencing is an important stage in any hierarchical production control model, especially when a real‐time dispatching rule is not employed. The problems become complicated…
Iterative learning scheduling: a combination of optimization and dispatching rules
Rong‐Lei Sun, Han Ding, Youlun Xiong, Runsheng DuDispatching rule‐based scheduling is a kind of dynamic scheduling commonly used in real world applications. Because of the lack of scheduling objective, it cannot optimize the…
