Mathematical Modeling and Performance Optimization for the Paper Making System of a Paper Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the mathematical modeling and performance optimization for the paper making system in a paper plant using Genetic Algorithm. The paper making system of a paper plant has four main subsystems, arranged in series and parallel. Considering exponential distribution for the probable failures and repairs, the mathematical formulation of the problem is done using probabilistic approach and differential equations are developed based on Markov birth-death process. These equations are then solved using normalizing conditions to determine the steady state availability of the paper making system. The performance of each subsystem of the paper making system in a paper plant has also been optimized using Genetic Algorithm. Therefore, the findings of the present paper will be highly useful to the plant management for the timely execution of proper maintenance decisions and hence to enhance the system performance. © 2010 Jordan Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

متن کاملData Envelopment Analysis with LINGO Modeling for Technical Educational Group of an Organization
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was developed to help compare the relative performance of decision-making units. It is a non-parametric method for performing frontier analysis. It uses linear programming to estimate the efficiency of multiple decision-making units and it is commonly used in production, management and economics [3]. DEA generates an efficiency score between 0 and 1 for each unit...
