Scheduling design activities with a pull system approach
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1996The design process can be considered as a series of design phases. Each design phase can be further divided into number of design activities. In the network of design activities, the design activities generate information which is used by the succeeding activities.

On the search of workstations arrangement in pull production systems
Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2008This research presents a model to determine the workstation arrangement and kanban number for pull production systems. Several practical production line characters are considered, and evolutionary algorithms are utilized to obtain the optimal/near-optimal result.

Proactive Pull Systems with Applications
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019The concept of pull production systems, such as kanban and CONWIP (Constant-Work-In-Progress), has been proposed for a long time. Although they have been implemented at some production systems with positive outcomes, some failure cases have also been reported.

TOGI Pull-In and Connection Systems
Offshore Technology Conference, 1991ABSTRACT A unique and prototype pull-in and connection system were developed for the TOGI project. The offshore pull-in of the 20" pipeline and service lines and cable were performed without any problems. The mechanical and electrical connections became more problematic than envisaged.

Chapter 3 describes active load-pull techniques, their design issues, and important related characteristics. The descriptions involve two aspects: the theoretical postulations of various active load-pull methods; and, then their respective designs and features, and associated practical issues normally encountered in their practical realizations ...

Chapter 6 presents the fundamental concept of an active envelope load-pull (ELP) system. Subsequently, its characteristics, realization and design are presented and discussed. The calibration procedure of the ELP system is also described in detail. The harmonic ELP and its characteristics, which lead to some unique measurements and investigations, are ...

Chapter 2 provides details of passive load-pull systems and impedance tuning and synthesis approaches. Primarily two types of passive tuners—the electromechanical tuner (EMT) and the electronic tuner (ETS)—are employed in load-pull systems. This chapter presents a thorough discussion on the theory and concepts of both these tuners and provides in-depth

Allocating buffer storages in a pull system
International Journal of Production Research, 1988This report proposes a method of estimating the amount of safety stock needed in each station of a production line due to variation in processing times, machine breakdowns and demand fluctuation in order to meet a predetermined desired level of performance. The production line is assumed to operate as a pull system and the measure of performance is the

A pull system for delegating knowledge work
Operations Management Research, 2008A pull system using kanban is commonly used in manufacturing settings to efficiently control the flow of goods. Its success in service operations is limited to processes similar to production lines when the output is repetitive. This paper examined how well a pull system for delegating non-repetitive output performed in an experimental setting of ...

Development and Design of the Pull Detection System
Advanced Materials Research, 2013Because the industrial control systems were often used in different manufacturers and different types of equipment, how to uniform the different equipment communication interface was a big problem. The real-time communication between Personal Computer and S7-200 PLC had been achieved by using the Siemens configuration software PC access and VC ...
