In this paper we describe the design of a control algorithm for MISO systems, which can be modelled as hybrid fuzzy models. Hybrid fuzzy models present a convenient approach to modelling nonlinear hybrid systems.

Purpose: This paper aims to detail how a Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process can be designed to support the planning requirements of recently introduced products. Design/methodology/approach: Design science research was conducted to propose and implement an S&OP model for demand...

In this paper, a continuous multi-product model is developed to represent the shop floor dynamics of a job shop, based on dynamic modeling and on analogies to electrical components. This approach allows the mathematical formulation of the model (state representation) and the analysis of its...

Purpose: Lean manufacturing (LM) has advocated gains by reducing waste and intensifying continuous improvement. As a holistic organizational policy, it must overpass the limits of the manufacturing function. Management accounting should be aligned to lean thinking, aiming to meet the demands...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution poses significant challenges to manufacturing companies from technological, organizational, and managerial perspectives due to a large number of barriers to its realization. However, there is a lack of detailed studies and systematic literature (SLR) reviews that...
