چکیده

In a market where rapid changes in demand, product mix and volumes are now commonplace and where the requirement for a production operation to be reliable in terms of quality and delivery performance is now a baselevel expectation, an appropriate set of response capabilities is critical. This paper presents a link between agility, responsiveness and flexibility in the context of production operations and examines key issues associated with determining the most appropriate manner for improving production responsiveness, and, in particular, consideres the role of flexible decision making and control strategies in this context.

OPTIMAL LOT-SIZING DECISIONS WITH INTEGRATED PURCHASING, MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLING FOR REMANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

This work applies fuzzy sets to the integration of purchasing, manufacturing and assembling of production planning decisions with multiple suppliers, multiple components and multiple machines in remanufacturing systems. The developed fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model (FMOLP) simultaneously minimizes total costs, total $text{CO}_2$ emissions and total lead time with reference to cus...

A novel mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem under buffer and resource limitations-A case study

Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...
