production plans or plans with costly needless inventory. We tackle this issue by explicitly modeling these two aspects and the … considering batch production and the other one allowing lot-streaming. Comparisons with traditional models demonstrate the … capability of the new approach in delivering more realistic results. The generated production plans are always feasible and cost …

This study investigates the look-ahead control of a conveyor-serviced production station (CSPS), viewed as a production … center, which is connected to a sales center. The production station is equipped with a buffer to temporarily store the parts … decision-making on the look-ahead range of such demand-driven CSPS is subject to the constraints of production and sales levels …

production policies in the recycled paper industry. The proposed model includes the recycled pulp production process, as well as … performance of procurement and production policies in several productions contexts. Results show that production Volume …. A more significant strategy to improve costs consists in reducing production rate to the minimum level required to meet …

of the main drivers of the dynamic behavior of returns plays a crucial role. Based on a stylized production … will or will not converge to its equilibrium. Using a constant elasticity of substitution production function, the model is … the predictability of product returns. Small variations of production input proportions could however stabilize the whole …

This paper deals with a scheduling problem with alternative process plans that was motivated by a production of wire … and it is used to solve the case study of the wire harnesses production. …
