  • Efficient heuristics for buffer allocation in closed serial production lines

    Creator:
    Vergara Arteaga, Hector A.
    Abstract:
    The optimal allocation of buffers in serial production systems is one of the oldest and most researched problems in Industrial Engineering. In general, there are three main approaches to the buffer allocation problem when the objective is to maximize throughput. The first is basically a systematic trial and error procedure...

  • Sequencing using Surrogate Values on Paced Assembly Lines

    Creator:
    Alfaiz, Faisal S.
    Abstract:
    On a paced mixed-model assembly line various product variants are assembled in the same sequence of serially arranged workstations that make up the line. The goal is to assemble the products with the lowest cost possible while meeting demand requirements. Since the work content of product variants may differ at...

  • Work Overloads Approximation on a Moving Assembly Line Workstation using Markov Chain

    Creator:
    Khandke, Shardul
    Abstract:
    Moving mixed-model assembly lines are used by many companies to assemble multiple model types of a particular product. A moving assembly line consists of a material movement system that moves jobs at a constant velocity across a series of workstations. The variation in the work content of jobs at workstations...

  • Utilizing smart manufacturing information in a job shop to support job selection and processing speed decisions

    Creator:
    Houck, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Creating schedules for the job shop manufacturing system is an extremely difficult task. Although researchers have devoted a lot of attention to generating optimal solutions, these solutions are static, thus they do not update as random events occur that disrupt the system. As smart manufacturing has grown, researchers have been...

  • Rank and linear correlation differences in simulation and other applications

    Creator:
    Agahi, Maryam
    Abstract:
    Monte Carlo simulation is used to quantify and characterize uncertainty in a variety of applications such as financial/engineering economic analysis, and project management. The dependence or correlation between the random variables modeled can also be simulated to add more accuracy to simulations. However, there exists a difference between how correlation...
