Computer aided tolerance analysis and process selection for AutoCAD

Pamulapati, Sairam V. (1997-02-25)

The fundamental objective of a design engineer in performing tolerance technology is to transform functional requirements into tolerances on individual parts based on existing data and algorithms for design tolerance ana ...
A decision support system for integrating fishing and fish processing

Bjarnason, Einar Thor (1992-06-26)

Production planning in fish processing is heavily dependent on the raw material supply. Because of the uncertainties associated with the quantity of catch and its composition, planning for production is a difficult tas ...
Design and implementation of a decision support framework for evaluating manufacturing alternatives

Saleh, Budiman (1999-01-29)

To be competitive in domestic and international markets, manufacturing management is routinely faced with the decision to automate or replace existing production facilities with advanced manufacturing technologies. Insta ...
Design and implementation of a heuristic-based decision support system for nurse scheduling

Sitompul, Darwin (1991-10-16)

A decision support system (DSS) for nurse scheduling in hospitals is developed and implemented on microcomputer. The system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly work and shift patterns and combining ...
Design and implementation of a production scheduling system for continuous manufacturing environment

Rai, Nivruti (1993-10-12)

Scheduling a continuous manufacturing flow shop environment with several machines, stochastic arrival of demands, different product requirements and limited resources is a complex task. This research develops a methodo ...
Design and implementation of a system for integrating material and process selection in automated manufacturing

Chen, Hsueh-Jen (1992-04-21)

Today's manufacturing environment is characterized by competition and continuous change in product and process requirements. The concept of "design for manufacturability" integrates product specifications with manufac ...
Design of an object-oriented paradigm for model generation : an application in timber harvesting

Scott, Thomas M. (Thomas Matthew), 1958- (1991-03-14)

The potential gains that could be realized from optimizing timber harvesting are significant. To a great extent it is these initial functions that dictate the quality of future manufacturing steps. Timber harvesting ...
Distribution center performance assessment

Kuo, Chun-Ho, 1969- (1998-05-07)
Evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors

Kuo, Chun-Ho (1994-09-29)

An evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors was performed. There has been limited research that has focused on scheduling of parallel processors. This research generalizes the results ...
An experimental investigation of scheduling non-identical parallel processors with sequence-dependent set-up times and due dates

Smith, Terrence A. (1993-02-26)

An experimental investigation of factors effecting scheduling a system of parallel, non-identical processors using a series of experimental designs was carried out. System variables included were processor capacities ...
An expert system for softwood lumber grading

Zeng, Yimin (1993-05-05)

The focus of this research is to develop a prototype expert system for softwood lumber grading. The grading rules used in the knowledge base of the system are based on Western Lumber Grading Rules 88 published by the ...
Filling a rough-mill cutting order using a fuzzy logic controller

Anderson, James D. (1996-05-02)

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 ...
Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

Juwono, Cynthia P. (1992-03-16)

A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well ...
An interactive object-oriented system for discrete simulation modeling and analysis

McGregor, Donald R. (1992-01-14)

One of the commonly used simulation approaches is process orientation. This is based on the use of nodes (or blocks) that perform functions in series. In spite of the compactness and ease of learning that characterize ...
Managing urban development : a simulation approach for coping with change at a municipal parking structure

White, Stephen James (1991-04-22)

Public construction projects are frequently presented as occurring in complex social, political and economic settings described as being uncertain. In public administration, this uncertainty is cited as a cause for sh ...
A methodology for real-time scheduling of jobs with splitting on unrelated parallel machines

Subur, Fenny (2000-04-27)

Unrelated parallel machines are machines that perform the same function but have different capacity or capability. Thus, the processing time of each job would be different on machines of different types. The scheduling ...
A methodology for using simulation to create manufacturing control expert knowledge

Hendra, Richard C. (1995-06-13)

Expert systems is an area of artificial intelligence that shows promise for a wide variety of applications, particularly in solving problems that have always been considered too large and complex for solution by conven ...
