At present, China's automobile logistics cost accounts for more than 20% of the production of motor vehicles. Therefore, lowering logistics cost by seeking its best path is an effective way to lower the cost of automobile manufacturing. This paper combines the Graph Theory and the genetic algorithm to research the optimizing problem of the lines of logistics distribution. Traffic flow data unde...

On Monday, President Barack Obama challenged the United States automobile companies to create a credible model to survive and succeed in the competitive global market. That market now has a new entry, the Tata Nano, launched in Mumbai, India, a week ago. It is easy to dismiss the Nano as a small, basic, poor man’s car that will cause a mere ripple on the world market. The Nano defies this initi...

Facility layout design is a strategic issue and has a significant and lasting impact on the efficiency of a manufacturing system. An ideal facility layout provides the optimum relationship among output, floor area and manufacturing process. Traditionally, the facility layout problem is solved using many methods like heuristics, Mathematical programming, Knowledge based approaches etc. This pape...

The Center for Electronic Commerce (CEC) embodies over fourteen years of experience in applying agents to industrial problems. We have found such a fit in three areas: coordination of industrial designers, simulation and modeling of complex products and processes, and scheduling and control of production systems. This presentation outlines several trends in modern manufacturing, describes how t...
