Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Various space missions, including the Russian and Chinese interplanetary exploration collaboration in 2011 and the Phobos‐Grunt space project to be relaunched by the Chinese in 2025, carry a soil preparation system (SOPSYS), which is an instrument used for scientific experiments. The design and manufacture of this precision instrument require stringent

Work in process level definition: a method based on computer simulation and electre tri [PDF]
Production, 2013 This paper proposes a method for defining the levels of work in progress (WIP) in productive environments managed by constant work in process (CONWIP) policies. The proposed method combines the approaches of Computer Simulation and Electre TRI to support

New approximate solution of CONWIP and a method for determining appropriate level of WIP
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015 CONWIP (Constant Work in Process), which is a simple pull production control method keeping WIP (Work in Process) of a whole production line constant, has been considered a better alternative to Kanban in some ways.

Robustness analysis of pull strategies in multi-product systems
Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2015 Purpose: This paper examines the behaviour of shared and dedicated Kanban allocation policies of Hybrid Kanban-CONWIP and Basestock-Kanban-CONWIP control strategies in multi-product systems; with considerations to robustness of optimal solutions to ...

Impact of work-sharing on the performance of production line with heterogeneous workers
International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2019 This study addresses the problem of Dynamic Line Balancing (DLB) in a two-stage production assembly tandem line where there are worker differences. This study examines the dynamic decision rules for workers to operate under DLB with a low level of work ...

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 This paper incorporates the three pillars of sustainability—economic, environmental, and social dimensions—into a supply chain. A multiobjective programming model which jointly minimizes costs, emissions, and employee injuries in a supply chain is first constructed. Using the weighted‐sum approach with weights setting by the analytic hierarchy process (

Risk‐Optimized Design of Production Systems by Use of GRAMOSA
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Today production and logistic systems are getting more complex. This is a problem which the planning and design of such systems have to deal with. One main issue of production system development in series production is the planning of production processes and systems under uncertainty.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Alternative material flow strategies in logistics networks have crucial influences on the overall performance of the networks. Material flows can follow push, pull, or hybrid systems. To get the advantages of both push and pull flows in networks, the decoupling‐point strategy is used as coordination mean.

A comparison of push and pull production controls under machine breakdown [PDF]
International Journal of Business Science and Applied Management, 2011 Production control for high-mix production remains a complex issue. Common pull system replenishment generates large works-in-process (WIPs) for each part type, especially under breakdown.
