Non-Convex Costs and Capital Utilization: A Study of Production and Inventories at Automobile Assembly Plants
This paper studies how managers at automobile assembly plants organize production across time. Detailed data from eleven single-source automobile assembly plants display considerable cross-plant heterogeneity. At plants which make lowand medium-selling vehicles the capital stock often sits idle, production is more variable than sales, and weeklong shutdowns are often used to vary output. In con...
متن کاملNon-convex costs and capital utilization: A study of production scheduling at automobile assembly plants ¬リニ
I study detailed data from eleven automobile assembly plants. These data display considerable cross-plant heterogeneity in production scheduling. To explain the observed heterogeneity, I solve a dynamic programming model. When desired production is below the plant's minimum e$cient scale, non-convexities induce production bunching; the plant uses less than full capital utilization on average an...
متن کاملAdvances in Ergonomics in Manufacturing
This case study reports on the quality assessment of a drilling cabin (i.e., a dog house) by using a Participatory Ergonomics (PE) approach to the Heuristic Evaluation (HE) compared to an operators’ self-reported measurement. In the quality assessment, self-reported rating techniques are broadly used by Human Factors (HF) practitioners with the aim of investigating the subjective components (e....
متن کاملGlobal drivers, sustainable manufacturing and systems ergonomics.
This paper briefly explores the expected impact of the 'Global Drivers' (such as population demographics, food security; energy security; community security and safety), and the role of sustainability engineering in mitigating the potential effects of these Global Drivers. The message of the paper is that sustainability requires a significant input from Ergonomics/Human Factors, but the profess...
متن کاملTexture assessment of automobile dashboard: An integrated approach on industrial design and ergonomics
In this paper, the main objective is ergonomics evaluation of automobile’s dashboard to devise suitable designs based on textures and patterns. Undoubtedly appropriated dashboards' design based on textures might be ended to more driving safety, in which the tactile-real and visualimplied texture of a surface should be considered. In this study, data was gathered by in-depth observa...
