Part Tracking, Routing and Scheduling of Products for Mass Customization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to track the location of goods throughout an agile manufacturing environment can provide for the mass production of customized products. When an agile manufacturing system controller knows where a particular product is within its manufacturing cycle, and what further operations are required for customization, it can make smart decisions as to how this product can be re-routed. Customization should not impair the production rate of any of the part assemblies in the agile manufacturing environment. This paper outlines the development of a Radio Frequency (RF) node based tracking system. It details information on a RF tag that is attached to a product. The product is tracked through the manufacturing cycle so that customized operations can be carried out using a mass customization manufacturing process. This paper further discusses the part routing and scheduling system used in the manufacturing cell.

A new approach in graph- based integrated production and distribution scheduling for perishable products
This study is concerned with how the quality of perishable products can be improved by shortening the time interval between production and distribution. As special types of food such as dairy products decay fast, the integration of production and distribution scheduling (IPDS) is investigated. An integrated scheduling of both processes improves the performance and costs because the separated sc...

Mathematical modeling of supply chain operations has proven to be one of the most complex tasks in the field of operations management and operations research. Despite the abundance of several modeling proposals in the literature; for vast majority of them, no effective universal application is conceived. This issue renders the proposed mathematical models inapplicable due largely to the fact th...

In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to integrate batch picking and distribution scheduling problems in order to optimize them simultaneously in an order picking warehouse. A tow-phase heuristic algorithm is presented to solve it in reasonable time. The first phase uses a genetic algorithm to evaluate and select permutations of the given set of customers. The seco...
