Solving a Stochastic Cellular Manufacturing Model by Using Genetic Algorithms
This paper presents a mathematical model for designing cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) solved by genetic algorithms. This model assumes a dynamic production, a stochastic demand, routing flexibility, and machine flexibility. CMS is an application of group technology (GT) for clustering parts and machines by means of their operational and / or apparent form similarity in different aspects ...
متن کاملSix-sigma application in tire-manufacturing company: a case study
Globalization, advancement of technologies, and increment in the demand of the customer change the way of doing business in the companies. To overcome these barriers, the six-sigma define–measure–analyze–improve–control (DMAIC) method is most popular and useful. This method helps to trim down the wastes and generating the potential ways of improvement in the process as well as service industrie...
متن کاملProcess Reliability and Six - Sigma
Reliability of manufacturing processes can be obtained from daily production data when process failure criteria are established. Results of the analysis are displayed on Weibull probability plots. Losses are categorized and identified for corrective action based on a demonstrated production criterion, which gives a point estimate for the daily production value. Concepts from six-sigma methodolo...
متن کاملSix Sigma in Mexican Manufacturing Companies
This work is about Six Sigma (SS) implementation in Mexico by using an empirical study. Main goals are to analyze the degree of importance of the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of SS and to examine if these factors are grouped in some way. A literature research and a survey were conducted to capture SS practitioner’s viewpoint about CSFs in SS implementation and their impact on the performance...
متن کاملJustifying Six Sigma Projects in Manufacturing Management
This paper develops and illustrates a case in manufacturing management, using the instance of justifying quality improvement of ball bearings—a common precision product whose correct manufacture and assembly greatly affects their efficiency, utility and life. Mass-produced at high speed, bearings extend a fertile domain for benefiting from QA apparatus including Gage R&R, ISO standards, samplin...
