Based on the position of a single CODP, the production planning of mass customization is divided into two stages, make-to-stock production before CODP and make-to-order production after CODP. However, in the case of multiple CODPS, production planning of mass customization can be much more complex. This paper presents a dynamic mass customization system, that is, a three-stage production planni...

In production process, scheduling isan important role in meeting the orders and reducing cost. This process becomes more complicated when factory produces various products. Scheduling model can be divided into two groups: make-to-stock (MTS) make-to-order (MTO). General constraint MTSmodel is limited capacity inventory work aims to propose hybrid MTS-MTO that improve lead time maintain low inve...

From the viewpoint of the relationship between production release and order arrival, production system can be classified into make-to-stock (MTS), make-to-order (MTO), assemble-to-order (ATO), and engineer-to-order (ETO) systems. Production planning is a complicated task which requires cooperation among multiple functional units in an organization. Planning is the consequence of a hierarchy of ...

Planning in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) remains a challenging topic in the artificial intelligence community, in spite of recent impressive progress in approximation techniques. Previous research has indicated that online planning approaches are promising in handling large-scale POMDP domains efficiently as they make decisions “on demand” instead of proactively for t...

We develop an integrated/hybrid optimization model for configuring new products’ supply chains while explicitly considering the impact of demand dynamics during new products’ diffusion. The hybrid model simultaneously determines optimal production/sales plan and supply chain configuration. The production and sales plan provides decisions on the optimal timing to launch a new product, as well as...

In the real-world production planning problems there are many constraints that need to be considered. Usually, these constraints and interdependent and the optimization algorithms has to efficiently solve that. This paper presents the hybrid parameter-less evolutionary algorithm used for construction of an optimal production plan. The algorithm is based on genetic algorithm, but is modified to ...

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...

The application of state of the art manufacturing processes has always been constrained by the capabilities either from technical limitations such as limited materials and complex part geometries or production costs. As a result, hybrid manufacturing processes – where varied manufacturing operations are carried out – are emerging as a potential evolution for current manufacturing technologies. ...
