Techniques for cash management in scheduling manufacturing operations

Scheduling Semiconductor Manufacturing Operations: Problems, Solution Techniques, and Future Challenges

In this paper, we discuss scheduling problems in semiconductor manufacturing. Starting from describing the manufacturing process, we identify typical scheduling problems that can be found in semiconductor manufacturing systems. We describe batch scheduling problems, job shop scheduling problems, scheduling problems with secondary resources, multiple orders per job scheduling problems, and sched...

Cash Management Techniques

Furthermore, efficient cash management is expected to significantly improve both the profitability and growth of a company. As a result of globalisation and the competitive environment, companies are seeking more sophisticated cash management solutions and focusing on standardised processes and strengthening internal controls, which will lead to a higher degree of centralisation of cash managem...

Optimizing Cash Management for Large Scale Bank Operations

The Federal Reserve System (Fed) provides currency services to banks, including sorting currency into fit and non-fit bills and repackaging bills for redistribution. To reduce the cost of currency management operations, many banks make Fed deposits and withdrawals of the same denomination each week. In July 2007, the Fed introduced fees for making both deposits and withdrawals during a given Mo...

Standards for Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) Techniques within Manufacturing Operations

Prognostics and health management (PHM) technologies reduce time and costs for maintenance of products or processes through efficient and cost-effective diagnostic and prognostic activities. These activities aim to provide actionable information to enable intelligent decision-making for improved performance, safety, reliability, and maintainability. Thoughtful PHM techniques can have a dramatic...

An Overview of Human Reliability Analysis Techniques in Manufacturing Operations

In recent years, there has been a decrease in accidents due to technical failures through technological developments of redundancy and protection, which have made systems more reliable. However, it is not possible to talk about system reliability without addressing the failure rate of all its components; among these components, "man" – because his rate of error changes the rate of failure of co...
