Virtual Manufacturing for Discrete Manufacturing Systems
2011The evolution of manufacturing practices since industrial revolution relates directly to the advancement in scientific methodologies and management principles. Some examples of the manifestations of these principles are: (1) Development of coal-fired furnaces for iron making; (2) Development of steam engines and steam-driven machines; (3) Development ...

COMBINED SCHEDULING AND ROUTING IN DISCRETE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1990Abstract The paper considers the problems of real-time scheduling and routing in discrete manufacturing systems which are modelled as queueing networks with deterministic service times. The determination and the application of closed-loop scheduling/routing strategies based on real-time information referring to the whole queueing network are far ...

Outline for discrete part manufacturing engineering
1993 CompEuro Proceedings Computers in Design, Manufacturing, and Production, 2002It is argued that within the framework of computer integrated manufacturing and engineering reference modeling, manufacturing system models may be and must be verified by prototyping supported by computer-aided methodology rather than by paper-aided methodology.

Performance evaluation of discrete manufacturing systems
IEEE Control Systems Magazine, 1990An overview is presented of the performance evaluation of discrete manufacturing systems for the practicing engineer. The role of performance evaluation in today's manufacturing firm is discussed. Common techniques for performance evaluation are reviewed, with an indication of where and when these methods are most likely to be beneficial. An example of

DISCRETE‐EVENT SIMULATION OF TROUSER MANUFACTURING
International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology, 1991A discrete‐event simulation of a utility trouser manufacturing plant is described. The simulation model, written in the GPSS/PC language, was validated with operating data from a large plant with a nominal production capacity of 40,000 pairs of men's denim trousers per week.

Shop Floor Scheduling in Discrete Parts Manufacturing
1999This paper discusses the architecture and the algorithmic framework of an automatic shop floor planning and scheduling system that is currently used in practice. After reviewing some general trends in manufacturing and the role of planning and scheduling systems in particular, it outlines a decomposition framework which forms the basis of the system ...

Self-Inspection in Discrete Product Manufacturing
Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1986This paper examines the conditions for the use of self-inspection in a discrete product manufacturing environment. To motivate the subject the potential benefits of self-inspection are first reviewed. Then characteristics of individual workplaces are discussed which are consistent with and to some degree necessary for self-inspection.

Fault prognosis for Discrete Manufacturing Processes
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2014Abstract This paper deals with a fault prognosis method, based on the extraction of a health indicator (HI) from a large amount of raw sensors data, applied to Discrete Manufacturing Processes (DMP). The HI is extracted by locating the significant points of machine which are related to the degradation. The dynamics of HI is then analysed and modelled

Design and manufacture of discrete components
Plastics, Rubber and Composites, 2005AbstractThe use of computers in product design and manufacturing today is accepted as normal working practice, the benefits are very clear, as the present study will show, but often the solutions available have a high degree of fragmentation, and are often described as being 'vertically fragmented'.
