For many decades, production and assembly lines have played an important role in industrial manufacturing systems. In particular, they have proved to be an efficient way to organize the production of high volume products ...
Traditional simulation languages and simulators do not
fully support the need to design, modify, and extend
simulation models of manufacturing systems, especially,
material handling systems. Since AGV systems, one typ ...
The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation
modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of
Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programmi ...
Automation of Capacitor Discharge Welding (CDW) has not been investigated in
industry due to the limited understanding of the process. The US Department of Energy's Albany Research Center (ALRC) has done an extensive st ...
Because of their high cost, reducing the number of boards used to fill an
order of dimension parts is an important goal in a lumber rough mill. FLCO
(Fuzzy Logic Cutting Order) is a computer program that achieves this ...
Traditional simulation tools, such as simulators and simulation languages do not support intelligent simulation output analysis and offer little - or no - features to model intelligence within a system. However, in a mod ...
The acquisition and elimination of products and the resources needed to create
them constitutes an important part of the business decision-making process. Activity-based
costing (ABC) supports this process by providing ...
