Die diskrete Simulation stellt eine wichtige und etablierte Methode zur Untersuchung des dynamischen Verhaltens von komplexen Produktions- und Logistiksystemen dar. Sie ist daher zur Planung, Steuerung und Kontrolle solcher Systeme unerlässlich, beispielsweise in der Automobilindustrie oder in...

Implications of Industry 4.0 for enterprises in Upper Bavaria are still unclear. This working paper examines how key technologies of Industry 4.0 impact on performance objectives. The research methodology is based on a quantitative study carried out in in the larger area of Upper Bavaria with a...

To reduce the order response time or achieve optimal utilization, manufacturers often include an outsourcing alternative in their production plans. Further, undesirable machine breakdowns and nonconforming items produced during the in-house processes must also be effectively managed/corrected to...

Purpose: ‘Company Specific Production Systems’ (XPS) aim to adopt ‘best practice’ across plants within a company. A pertinent issue in the literature involves the constraints in the possibilities of realising such an adoption. This paper addresses to what extent and how a Norwegian...

"In this book, the author predicts the form of next generation automobile manufacturing, presenting a "New Automobile Global Manufacturing System" (NAGMS) that contains the hardware system with five core elements - "TDS, TPS, TMS, TIS and TJS" (Total Development System, Total Production System,...

"Industrie 4.0" steht für einen radikalen technologischen Umbruch und einen Strukturwandel von Beschäftigung, Qualifikationsanforderungen, Arbeitszeiten, Beschäftigtenkontrolle oder die Gestaltung der Arbeitsorganisation. Damit berührt sie Kernthemen der kollektiven Interessenvertretung...

Modularisierung und Standardisierung sind wichtige Entwicklungstrends für die Wettbewerbs- und Innovationsfähigkeit des Werkzeugmaschinenbaus und ein zentrales internes Strategiethema für die Unternehmen. Mit der Implementierung modularer Produktbaukästen verändern sich viele betrieblichen...

The buffer allocation problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, and it is an important design problem in manufacturing systems. The research proposed in this paper concerns a product line consisting of n unreliable machines with n − 1 buffers and a preventive maintenance...

The transformation from traditional to integrated production systems reflects the evolvement of the industrial sector. The fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 for short, is a technological evolutionary stage that emphasizes the importance of logistics in the overall production process. In...

We present inventory models to schedule an imperfect manufacturing process where a proportion of the items are defective. The proportion is known; and the production is followed by a 100% inspection. The manufacturer implements a rework strategy to rectify the defective items. Since the rework...

This paper analyzes how the organization of work has changed since the 1990s including the emergence of digital forms of employment. Following the evolution of work over the course of the 20th century and the start of the 21st, this paper is divided into three sections: the adoption of...

Machines are a key element in the production system and their failure causes irreparable effects in terms of cost and time. In this paper, a new multi-objective mathematical model for dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) is provided with consideration of machine reliability and...

Technological advancement in the manufacturing system in current scenario is inevitable due to today’s customer-driven and volatile nature of the market. Implementation of agent technology in a manufacturing system increases flexibility which handles uncertainty generated due to advance...

Purpose: In an increasingly competitive business environment, machine reliability problem merits special attention in operations of manufacturing cells. This is mainly due to flow line nature of the cellular layout, interdependency of downstream and upstream of machines related to each other....
