UPN: A Petri Net Based Graphical Representation of Company Policy Specifications in CIM
(1992)
A graphical representation schema - Updated Petri Nets (UPN) - has been developed to model rule based company policy specifications, in the context of computer integrated manufacturing systems. UPN facilitates the modeling ...
Performance Evaluation of a Hierarchical Production Scheduling Policy for a Single Machine with Earliness and Tardiness
(1990)
This paper considers the problem of scheduling a given set of jobs on a single machine in order to minimize the total earliness and tardiness costs. The scheduling horizon is divided into elementary periods; jobs have ...
Integration of Engineering Systems.
(1986)
Systems integration is recognized as a key to improving efficiency and productivity in an engineering and manufacturing environment. The ultimate goal is to provide engineering management with improved systems efficiency, ...
Manufacturing Cell Formation Under Random Product Demand
(1993)
The performance of cellular manufacturing systems is intrinsically sensitive to demand variations and machine breakdowns. A cell formation methodology that addresses, during the shop design stage, system robustness with ...
Temporal Aggregation in Production Planning
(1993)
In this paper, the problem of temporal aggregation in production planning is addressed. A single facility with multiple part types is considered. The planning horizon consists of a sequence of elementary time periods, and ...
INformation Systems for Integrated Manufacturing (INSIM)
(1992)
A mechanism with the potential to control the information flow among all of the manufacturing application systems, in order to streamline factory activities, based on company-specific and company-wide policies and procedures ...
A PDES Model for Microwave Modules
(1991)
This paper presents a novel application of the Layered Electrical Product (LEP) model of the PDES (Product Data Exchange specification using STEP) standard. All three levels of the LEP model are developed for a typical ...
Manufacturing Cell Formation with Multiple, Functionally Identical Machines
(1990)
A comprehensive methodology for the formation of manufacturing cells in an environment consisting of unique as well as multiple, functionally identical machines is presented in this paper. The proposed method presupposes ...
Computer Integrated Manufacturing: Overview and Suggested Strategy.
(1986)
The relatively new area of manufacturing technology referred to as Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is defined and explored In terms of its current status and future potential. The various components of CIM are ...
A Dynamic Planning and Control System for Inventories of Raw Materials.
(1988)
Interfaces with operational MRP II systems can realize substantial benefits in warehousing management and control. This paper presents the design, development, programming and implementation of an inventory planning system, ...
