Flexible work organization in manufacturing: a simulation-supported feasibility study

This paper looks at the question of what conditions are required to make work organization in manufacturing more flexible. Therefore, we have derived hypotheses for the extent of flexibilization of manufacturing systems. In the foreground are various forms of working times and different skills of staff. The related hypotheses are tested using a personnel-centered simulation procedure as part of...

Extending Cognitive Work Analysis to Manufacturing Scheduling

This paper discusses the challenges of applying tools associated with Cognitive Work Analysis to a domain that is quite different from the process control domain in which Cognitive Work Analysis was developed. The context of the paper is the design of a decision support system to aid scheduling of tasks within a manufacturing domain typical of job shops. The constraints in the supervisory contr...
