Production leveling (heijunka) is one of the lean tool that is used to stabilize a manufacturing system (reduce the bullwhip effect). Production leveling is a kind of cyclic scheduling that creates production regularity and coordination simplicity. This article describes simulation modeling and multivariate analysis of an assembly production line in a microelectronics factory. The assembly line...

A hybrid system is a system containing a mixture of discrete event components and continuous variable components. The existing hybrid system modeling methods are effective to handle crisp cases but can be difficult to represent deterministic uncertainties and subjectivity inherited in many real-world applications. We generalize the crisp hybrid system framework to a fuzzy hybrid system framewor...

Knowledge acquisition for an understanding of discrete event simulation systems is a diicult task. Machine Learning has been investigated to help in the knowledge acquisition process. Our approach involves consultation with a domain expert, and the use of discrete event simulation models and machine learning as tools for the intelligent analysis of simulated systems. Current methods for the ana...
