Performance analysis of a batch production system with limited #exibility
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of limited #exibility, originally applied to production planning, has shown that many bene"ts of totally #exible systems can be obtained by less #exible systems. This concept is here applied to shop #oor control. Limited #exibility is considered as a particular routing #exibility that allows system resources to process some products according to a logic chain, as an intermediate con"guration between a totally #exible system (where every resource can process every product) and a non-#exible system (dedicated resources). A simulation study is carried out to measure the system performance such as the lead time and work-in-process for di!erent system con"gurations, with variable demand, setup times and processing times.

A Comparative Study on Performance of Two Aerobic Sequencing Batch Reactors with Flocculated and Granulated Sludge Treating an Industrial Estate Wastewater: Process Analysis and Modeling
In this study, the performance of two aerobic sequencing batch reactors (SBR) in removing carbon and nutrient (N & P) from Faraman’s industrial estate wastewater (FIW) with flocculated and granulated sludge were compared. The comparison study was performed by varying two significant independent variables (aeration time and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS)). The experiments were co...

This paper presents a comparison between batch and three different sets of fed batch fermentations forrhamnolipid production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The batch run was performed with 500 ml of culturemedium having the initial glycerol and sodium nitrate concentrations of 30 and 8.3 g/l, respectively. For a fedbatch run with nitrogen source in feed, 250 ml of the nitrogen exc...
متن کاملScheduling Accumulated Rework in a Normal Cycle: Optimal Batch Production with Minimum Rework Cycles
In this paper we consider a single machine system that produces items part of which are defective. The defective items produced in a time period, consisting of several equal cycles, are accumulated and are all reworked in the last cycle of this period called the rework cycle. At the end of the rework cycle the whole process will start all over again. The first significant objective of this stud...
متن کاملA Batch-wise ATP Procedure in Hybrid Make-to-Order/Make-to-Stock Manufacturing Environment
Satisfying customer demand necessitates manufacturers understanding the importance of Available-To-Promise (ATP). It directly links available resources to customer orders and has significant impact on overall performance of a supply chain. In this paper, an improvement of the batch-mode ATP function in which the partial fulfillment of the orders is available will be proposed. In other words, in...
متن کاملOptimal Batch Production for a Single Machine System with Accumulated Defectives and Random Rate of Rework
In this paper we consider an imperfect production system which produces good and defective items and assume that defective items can be reworked. Due to the nature of rework process we do not restrict the rework rate to be equal to normal production rate or constant and assume that it is a random variable with an arbitrary distribution function. We also assume as it is true in most real world s...
