New Approaches in Meta-heuristics to Schedule Purposeful Inspections of Workshops in Manufacturing Supply Chains

Nowadays, with the growth of technology and the industrialization of societies, work-related accidents, and consequently the threat of human capital and material resources are among the problems of the countries of the world. The most important legal solution in most countries to control occupational accidents and illnesses is to conduct periodic site visits and identify hazardous sites. To the...

Schedule Execution in Holonic Manufacturing Systems

To bridge the gap between advanced scheduling research and industrial practice, high performance scheduling needs to be combined with reactivity to disturbances. This paper presents an architecture for shop floor control (SFC) that builds upon the concepts of holonic manufacturing and combines the advantages of traditional hierarchical control with the benefits of distributed control. The archi...

LiveGantt: Interactively Visualizing a Large Manufacturing Schedule

In this paper, we introduce LiveGantt as a novel interactive schedule visualization tool that helps users explore highly-concurrent large schedules from various perspectives. Although a Gantt chart is the most common approach to illustrate schedules, currently available Gantt chart visualization tools suffer from limited scalability and lack of interactions. LiveGantt is built with newly design...

Project management of unexpected events

Unexpected events and environmental impact not planned for are common during project implementation. This article explores how unexpected events are dealt with in projects using qualitative case study data from four different cases. Results show four different approaches to deal with unexpected events: innovative action, applying detachment strategies, setting up intensive meeting schedules and...
