Real-Time Operation Management of CHP System in Manufacturing Industry

Real-time Enterprise Optimization in the Polymer Manufacturing Industry

A polymer manufacturer needs to be able to make profitable, proactive decisions about manufacturing that supports the business goals and incorporates the demands of the customer. To achieve this, the company must tie business and manufacturing processes together to make the best decisions. Orders and forecasts must be integrated with planning, scheduling, and plant operations. Existing technolo...

Real-time Scheduling of a Flexible Manufacturing System using a Two-phase Machine Learning Algorithm

The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...

An Enterprise-Wide Project Quality Management System in Manufacturing Industry

The new version of ISO 9000 approved in 2000 is studied and the relationships between operation processes and project processes are analyzed. According to the characteristics of manufacturing industry, the two-step tailoring method is presented to realize the project quality management from the ISO standards. The quality management models are built with the objectoriented method, including orga...

A Real Time Web Integrated Scheduling Support System for a Multi Product Manufacturing Industry

This paper deals with the real time implementation of a web integrated scheduling support system for a multiproduct manufacturing industry. The industry manufactures a wide variety of products ranging from steam turbines, gas turbines to compressors. The product assembly is quite complex, in particular a typical bill of material (BOM) has more than 50 levels. It is obvious that scheduling of th...
