Modelling Framework to Support Decision-Making in Manufacturing Enterprises

Systematicmodel-driven decision-making is crucial to design, engineer, and transformmanufacturing enterprises (MEs). Choosing and applying the best philosophies and techniques is challenging asmostMEsdeploy complex andunique configurations of processresource systems and seek economies of scope and scale in respect of changing and distinctive product flows. This paper presents a novel systematic...

Model Driven Integrated Decision-Making in Manufacturing Enterprises

Decision making requirements and solutions are observed in four world class Manufacturing Enterprises MEs . Observations made focus on deployed methods of complexity handling that facilitate multi-purpose, distributed decision making. Also observed are examples of partially deficient “integrated decision making” which stem from lack of understanding about how ME structural relations enable and/...

Stochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments

Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...

Scenario modelling to support industry strategic planning and decision making

The Pastoral Properties Futures Simulator (PPFS) is a dynamic systems model, developed within a participatory action research partnership with the pastoral industry of Australia’s Northern Territory. The model was purpose-built to support the industry’s strategic planning capacity in the face of environmental, market and institutional uncertainty. The mediated modelling process sought to maximi...
