Layout Design of a Furniture Production Line Using Formal Methods
Authors
Abstract:
This paper experiments application of different heuristic approaches to a real facility layout problem at a furniture manufacturing company. All the models are compared using AHP, where a number of parameters of interest are employed. The experiment shows that formal layout modelling approaches can be effectively used real problems faced in industry, leading to significant improvements.

Optimization of a furniture factory layout
This paper deals with the problem of optimizing a factory floor layout in a Slovenian furniture factory. First, the current state of the manufacturing system is analyzed by constructing a discrete event simulation (DES) model that reflects the manufacturing processes. The company produces over 10,000 different products, and their manufacturing processes include approximately 30,000 subprocesses...

In this study, solutions for machinery layout with the aim of reducing transportation costs will be discussed. To do this, imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), which is a very complicated and effective meta-heuristic algorithm is introduced. In the offered algorithm, different kinds of machinery layout are considered in single-row as country and then the best possible layout is developed ba...
full textSpacecraft early design validation using formal methods
The size and complexity of software in spacecraft is increasing exponentially, and this trend complicates its validation within the context of the overall spacecraft system. Current validation methods are labor-intensive as they rely on manual analysis, review and inspection. For future space missions, we developed with challenging requirements from the European space industry a novel modeling ...
full textTrustworthy spacecraft design using formal methods
Model-based system-software co-engineering is a natural evolution towards meeting the high demands of upcoming deep-space and satellite constellation missions. It advocates better abstractions to cope with the increasing spacecraft complexity, and opens the door for a wide range of formal methods, benefiting from the mathematical rigour and precision they bring. This dissertation provides for b...
full textA Formal Framework for Specifying Design Methods
The main objective of this paper is to put forward a software process model for high-performance systems (HPS), and to present a formal framework to describe software design methodologies (SDMs) for those systems. The framework consists of two main parts: the software process activities which characterise the development of HPS, and the components of the SDM (concepts, artifacts, representation...
