Use of Computer Simulation in Designing and Evaluating a Proposed Rough Mill for Furniture Interior Parts
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of a rough mill for the production of interior furntirue parts is used to illustrate a simulation technique for analyzing and evaluating established and proposed sequential production systems. Distributions representing the real-world random characteristics of lumber, equipment feed speeds and delay times are programmed into the simulation. An example is given of how bottlenecks are found and removed in order to design on paper a layout that will meet a set of goals before a single piece of equipment has been purchased. GPSS (a General Purpose Simulation System language) was used.

Simulation Software Validation Using Real Data
The optimal cutting of lumber into dimension parts for products like furniture, windows, and mouldings is a challenging problem due to the almost infinite number of possible cutting patterns. Yet, finding the optimal pattern that utilizes the available lumber most efficiently is of paramount importance, as lumber costs are a major expense of producers of solid wood parts. This study used data d...
متن کاملStable Rough Extreme Learning Machines for the Identification of Uncertain Continuous-Time Nonlinear Systems
Rough extreme learning machines (RELMs) are rough-neural networks with one hidden layer where the parameters between the inputs and hidden neurons are arbitrarily chosen and never updated. In this paper, we propose RELMs with a stable online learning algorithm for the identification of continuous-time nonlinear systems in the presence of noises and uncertainties, and we prove the global ...
