Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...

With the ongoing global pressure of cost cutting and quality focus, many companies have been implementing “lean manufacturing” concepts to survive in this competitive marketplace. “Lean” concepts have found their place in manufacturing and service industries; an important key to eliminating waste and delivering value to the customers. Thus, it is imperative that engineering management graduates...

A start-up company in Florida, called World Response Group (WRG), developed an unusual woven mat for the horticulture industry that was made from all-natural fibers. Horticulture growers in the U.S. produce hundreds of millions of potted plants each year. The product, called SmartGrow, dramatically reduced weed growth in potted plants and simultaneously provided important nutrients – all with n...

Manufacturing evaluation is performed with heuristics that are developed internally by the manufacturing experts in the company. Many of the existing manufacturing evaluation systems rely on highly specialized knowledge, extensive databases, and require a significant amount of time and cost that make these tools in general unavailable early in design and to small manufacturers who do not have t...

Enterprise integration in a manufacturing environment can give way to new possibilities that allow a company to prosper and stay current with what customers want. EA is a structured framework with each company moving through the 4 stages, which are business silos, technology standardization, core-business optimization, and business modularity. ERP, IERP, and SCM software has allowed manufacturi...

This paper presents a case study and discusses the issues of implementing Lean manufacturing within a global organisation and the adoption of it in an Erp-system. It discusses and presents how the modelling and design of the manufacturing planning and control task can be done, and how it is implemented within the Erp system, to support the daily operation in the case company. The Erp system use...
