A simulation based decision support system for resouce planning

Creator:: Mechling, Ann M.
Abstract:: The problem of resource planning has long been a topic of interest for operations managers in both production and service industries. Inputs such as raw materials, energy, and capital are limited resources; therefore, managers must make informed decisions regarding the use of these inputs. This thesis addresses the area of...

Characteristics of optimal buffer allocation in unbalanced serial production lines

Creator:: Kretz, Thomas
Abstract:: 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 in many industries. In their effort to improve the efficiency of production lines, researchers encountered two...

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...

Methodology for the multi-objective, resource-constrained project scheduling problem

Creator:: Nudtasomboon, Nudtapon
Abstract:: This study is concerned with the problem of resource-constrained project scheduling which includes splittable and nonsplittable jobs, renewable and nonrenewable resources, variation in resource availabi1ity, time-resource tradeoff, time-cost tradeoff, and multiple objectives. The problem is formulated as a zero-one integer programming model. A specialized solution technique is developed for the...

Risk management in particleboard production system design : a simulation study of the stochastic optimization problem

Creator:: Velazquez, Sergio Serrano
Abstract:: Effects of stochastic variations of parameters in the planning and design of a particleboard production system are studied. The solution obtained from a linear deterministic optimization model is compared against both the solution derived from the traditional stochastic programming techniques and the distribution of optimal objective function values obtained from...

Design of an object-oriented paradigm for model generation : an application in timber harvesting

Creator:: Scott, Thomas M. (Thomas Matthew), 1958-
Abstract:: 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 systems are defined by the operations they contain and the equipment that perform them. For any given harvesting...

Integrated methodology for board assignment and component allocation in printed circuit board assembly

Creator:: Neammanee, Patcharaporn
Abstract:: The purpose of this research is to develop an approach to minimize makespan for assigning boards to production lines. Because of sequence-dependent setup issue, board assignment and component allocation have to be performed concurrently. An integrated methodology is proposed to obtain a solution of the two problems. The methodology consists...

An intelligent agent architecture platform for intelligent simulation of manufacturing systems

Creator:: Kaiser, René
Abstract:: 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 modern manufacturing environment we often find ourselves facing high flexibility requirements and the need for quick response....
