Manufacturing Simulation Reduces Inventories and Order Lead Times
A lean manufacturing simulation model was created that replicated the existing assembly system as well as a potential system of similar capacity that modified the existing design to incorporate lean manufacturing shop-floor principles. Arena’s manufacturing simulation software generated performance statistics for both systems and measured each system’s resource requirements and performance in t...
متن کاملWages and Labor Management in African Manufacturing∗
Using matched employer-employee data on 10 African countries, this paper examines the relationship beween wages, worker supervision, and labor productivity in manufacturing. Wages increase with Þrm size for both production workers and supervisors. We develop a two-tier model of supervision that can account for this stylized fact and we Þt the structural model to the data. Employee data is used ...
متن کاملIntegration of Life Cycle Inventories Incorporating Manufacturing Unit Processes
Sustainable manufacturing (SM) concerns the manufacture of products with regard to environmental, social, and economic impacts over the entire life cycle. With a primary focus on environmental concerns, life cycle assessment (LCA) can support SM practices. The life cycle inventory (LCI) is a key phase of LCA, and this paper considers the integration of manufacturing unit processes (MUPs) into s...

متن کاملRisk Pooling and Cost Allocation in Spare Parts Inventories
We present a problem on risk pooling and cost allocation in inventory of spare parts motivated in the oil and gas sector. Spare parts are held to facilitate operational conditions. Multiple inventory plants control their stock per separate. In practice, however, they supply each other when needed. Risk pooling is a source of savings in this situation. Under a centralized inventory solution, the...
