hot-melt extrusion is one of the most widely applied processing technologies in the plastic, rubber and food industry. today this technology has found its place in the array of pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. melt extrusion process are currently applied in the pharmaceutical field for the manufacture of a variety of dosage forms and formulations such as granules, pellets, tablets, supp...

scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. on other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. a maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equip...

Although the title includes both manufacturing and service operations, the main emphasis is on manufacturing system operations. The term “service system operations” is intended to refer mainly to functions that are supportive of manufacturing system operations. Manuscripts that focus on the integration of such functions with manufacturing system operations are particularly welcome. Manuscripts ...

In the domain of production, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are becoming increasingly popular. State of the art MES not only bring interfaces to a large variety of shop floor systems, they also come with functionality for data integration, data analysis, and dashboard generation – features commonly associated with Business Intelligence (BI) systems. At the same time, Data Warehouse (DHW)...
