A methodology for the design and operation of pull‐based supply chains
Pedro L. González‐R, Jose M. Framinan, Rafael Ruiz‐UsanoThe aim of this article is to propose a methodology for the design and operation of a just‐in‐time coordination mechanism to control the flow of materials in the supply chain.
Evaluation of production control strategies for negligible‐setup, multi‐product, serial lines with consideration for robustness
Oladipupo A. Olaitan, John GeraghtyThe aims of this paper is to investigate simulation‐based optimisation and stochastic dominance testing while employing kanban‐like production control strategies (PCS) operating…
Kanban‐controlled exponential production lines: analysis and design
Liang ZhangThe purpose of this paper is to study kanban‐controlled pull‐systems with machines having the exponential reliability model and with buffers finite capacities.
Optimization of robotic assembly sequences using immune based technique
B.B. Biswal, B.B. Deepak, Y. RaoThe purpose of this paper is to develop a new methodology to find out the best robotic assembly sequence amongst feasible robotic sequences.
Assembly line segmentation: determining the number of stations per section
Yuval CohenThe purpose of this paper is to ascertain and expose considerations related to the division of assembly lines into segments, and to develop a framework for assessing the impact of…
Ant colony optimization for sequence‐dependent disassembly line balancing problem
Can B. Kalayci, Surendra M. GuptaThe purpose of this paper is to introduce sequence‐dependent disassembly line balancing problem (SDDLBP) to the literature and propose an efficient metaheuristic solution…
The effects of unbalancing operation time variability on the performance of unreliable lines
Sabry Shaaban, Tom McNamara, Sarah HudsonThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of unpaced unreliable production lines that are deliberately unbalanced in terms of their coefficients of variation…
Cycle time reduction in context to the make to order (MTO) environment
Sanjay SharmaA flexible production rate has been discussed and analyzed in the literature for different business situations. This paper aims to consider this for a make‐to‐order (MTO…
