Purpose: Use mathematical models of Mixed Integer Linear Programming oriented to cellular distribution and aggregate production planning in order to obtain the appropriate product family for each manufacturing cell and from this, minimize production and material handling costs through the...

Few would challenge that terrorism, warlordism and organized crime—also known as the Deadly Trinity—could exhibit many similar characteristics but would they in any way be associated or even linked in a global proliferation network of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)? The case of the London...

BackgroundAs air pollution has been paid more attention to by public in recent years, effects and mechanism in particulate matter-triggered health problems become a focus of research. Lysosomes and mitochondria play an important role in regulation of inflammation. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) has been...

Flexible and wearable energy devices have become an important support and indispensable product of the era of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things. Enzyme biofuel cells (EBFCs) have received much attention for their ability to convert the body's abundant biochemical energy into...

Today's volatile market conditions in electronic industries have lead to a new production system, seru (which is the Japanese pronunciation for cell), and has been widely implemented in hundreds of Japanese and other Asia companies. In particular, the rotating seru has been widely implemented,...

Purpose: In this paper, we have proposed a new model for designing a Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) for minimizing the costs regarding a limited number of cells to be formed by assigning workforce. Design/methodology/approach: Pursuing mathematical approach and because the problem is...
