  • An experimental investigation of scheduling non-identical parallel processors with sequence-dependent set-up times and due dates

    Creator:
    Smith, Terrence A.
    Abstract:
    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 relationships, sequencing and assignment rules, job size, and product demand distributions. The effect of the variables was measured by comparing mean flow...

  • Evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors

    Creator:
    Kuo, Chun-Ho
    Abstract:
    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 from prior work in this area and examines complex scheduling rules in terms of flow time, tardiness, and proportion of tardy...

  • Planning and implementing a manufacturing control system in a job shop environment

    Creator:
    Maplestone, Robert N.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is intended to provide the management of small to medium sized job shop companies with a written plan to implement a formal computerized manufacturing planning and control system. The research stemmed from a case study performed at a typical job shop where growth of production activities was complicating...

  • Computer aided tolerance analysis and process selection for AutoCAD

    Creator:
    Pamulapati, Sairam V.
    Abstract:
    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 analysis and synthesis. The transformation of functional requirements into tolerances must also consider the existing process capabilities and manufacturing costs...

  • An animated simulation model for a transtainer based container handling facility

    Creator:
    Chung, Young-gyo
    Abstract:
    The efficiency of a marine cargo terminal depends primarily upon a smooth and orderly flow of material during the container loading process. It has been observed that the transtainer operation is the bottleneck in the loading process due to frequent rehandles of containers and the speed of the transtainer. Past...

  • Component to multi-track feeder assignment and board sequencing for printed circuit board assembly

    Creator:
    Li, Yu-An
    Abstract:
    This research was motivated by the use of multi-track feeders in the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. In a low volume, high mix production environment, setup time is usually considered more important than processing time. Implementation of multi-track feeders not only increases the capacity of the surface mount machines but...

  • Design and implementation of a flexible manufacturing cell with real-time statistical process control capabilities

    Creator:
    Wu, Chi-shih, 1962-
    Abstract:
    A modem Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) usually consists of several Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Modeling and evaluating a manufacturing integrated system and then translating the models to operational programs are important steps in implementing a FMC. Monitoring and enhancing a FMC's manufacturing process quality is another critical issue. An embedded...

  • Distribution center performance assessment

    Creator:
    Kuo, Chun-Ho, 1969-
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to assess the performance measurement systems currently used in today's distribution centers. A comprehensive investigation of distribution centers' performance measurement system is completed. Three major research phases are included in this study. An overview of distribution centers, including background, components, functions, and material handling...

  • A methodology for real-time scheduling of jobs with splitting on unrelated parallel machines

    Creator:
    Subur, Fenny
    Abstract:
    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 environment considered is dynamic in both job release time and machine availability. Additionally, each job considered can...

  • Filling a rough-mill cutting order using a fuzzy logic controller

    Creator:
    Anderson, James D.
    Abstract:
    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 goal. Using the concepts of fuzzy logic control, FLCO provides a...
