This paper develops an effective joint production, setup and maintenance control policies in an unreliable one-machine two-products manufacturing system. The main objective is to reach a higher synchronization level of the preventive maintenance (PM) interventions in the planning of production activities. The proposed joint control policy integrates the concept of the opportunistic maintenance ...

The paper considers a class of flexible manufacturing networks. We employ hybrid dynamical systems to model such networks. The main and new achievement of the paper is that we propose a distributed implementable in real time scheduling rule such that the corresponding closed-loop system is stable and optimal. In stable systems the processes converge to periodic ones. The paper gives computing r...

In our increasingly competitive world, companies must become more flexible, adaptive and responsive. However, this can be difficult in the face of complexities and uncertainties such as worker absenteeism, machine breakdown, and variation in customer behavior. One group of economies that exhibits such flexibility, even in highly unpredictable environments, is social insects: colonies of ants, b...

In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...

This paper describes the development of an agent-based framework for the intelligent control of flexible manufacturing systems. An FMS is a complex manufacturing system, in which the control system is responsible for the planning, control and monitoring functions. Traditionally, manufacturing systems are commonly established with hierarchical control architecture. This approach is not flexible ...

This article investigates integrated maintenance, production, and product quality control policy for a supply chain consisting of single machine producing only one type product, main storage warehouse, multi-purchases warehouses. The variation the production rate its use over time impact manufacturing system’s degradation degree. Hence, is subject to random failure that directly affects product...

One of the most revolutionary concepts of Machining Processes to emerge in the last two decades has been the concept of Flexible Manufacturing System (F.M.S.). It is a concept of machining where a set of machine tools can be used to perform a wide range of machining operations to produce a variety of products. This dynamic nature of the machine tools can be achieved by developing a beautiful am...

Cloud manufacturing as a trend of future manufacturing would provide cost-effective, flexible and scalable solutions to companies by sharing manufacturing resources as services with lower support and maintenance costs. Targeting the Cloud manufacturing, the objective of this research is to develop an Internetand Web-based service-oriented system for machine availability monitoring and process p...

PT XYZ is one of Indonesia’s major flexible packaging manufacturer companies. The company suffers losses from the increase in printing machine breakdown 1.65% 2019 to 2.52% 2021. This paper aims reduce duration 2022 by identifying and solving root cause implementing alternative solutions. primary data are collected via a series interviews company’s manufacturing reports. Using Current Reality T...
