In this paper. the basic framework and algorithms of a decision support system are discussed. which enhance process and capacity planning at a large repair shop. The research is strongly motivated by experiences in a project carried out at a dockyard, which performs repair, overhaul and modification programs for various classes of navy ships. We outline the basic requirements placed upon order ...

This article explores a collaboration between Virago Press and the Body Shop (TBS) to shine light on feminist women’s business, what they have shared historically how could work together in late twentieth-century Britain. It uses as lens 1991 sale of book, Mamatoto: A Celebration Birth, Press. The processes outcome raise thorny questions: can political commitments lead business innovation? How ...

Flexible manufacturing and customization is a considerable topic in modern manufacturing automobile industry. However, challenges still remain on the responsiveness of production system to the fluctuation of production demand. In this paper we developed a flexible machine layout that is not restricted to equal size machines. The layout optimizes the trade-offs between increased material handlin...

Proper scheduling of tasks leads to optimum using of time and resources, in order to obtaining best result. One of the most important and complicated scheduling problems is open shop scheduling problem. There are n jobs in open shop scheduling problem which should be processed by m machines. Purpose of scheduling open shop problem is attaining to a suitable order of processing jobs by specified...

Due to the wide variety of production orders and complex processes in lithium battery cell rolling shop, it is easy cause conflict deadlock problems when multiple devices are operating at same time, thus blocking tasks affecting productivity. In this paper, we build a task scheduling framework for shop by combining process cells, establish model considering rules order splitting prioritization....

in this paper, an exact geometric algorithm is presented for solving two-job sequencing and scheduling problems in flexible flow shop and job shop environments while the resources are (un)available in some time periods and processors (un)availability is the same in all work centers. this study seems utterly new and it is applicable to any performance measure based on the completion time. the in...
