For performance reasons, it is desirable for Java just-in-time (JIT) compilers to statically identify array element accesses that can never cause an out of bounds exception, but the most precise analyses are too expensive to run in JIT compilers. We present verifiable annotations that can be added to Java programs to capture the results of range analyses as claimed linear inequalities and proof...

The design of manufacturing planning and control systems is a strategic decision for manufacturing firms. In this paper we analyze the interrelationships among the choices of planning and control approaches at different hierarchical levels, including sales and operations planning (chase; level), master scheduling (make-to-order; assemble-to-order; make-to-stock), material planning (time-phased;...

In order to speed up the execution of Java applications, JIT compilers compile method bytecodes into native code at run time. Once a method is compiled, subsequent executions of this method will run a generated machine-dependent code, which is generally faster than interpreting bytecodes. In addition, JIT compilers can apply several optimizations to the code to increase the performance even fur...

JavaScript is emerging as the ubiquitous language of choice for web browser applications. These applications increasingly execute on embedded mobile devices, and thus demand responsiveness (i.e., short pause times for system activities, such as compilation and garbage collection). To deliver responsiveness, web browsers, such as Firefox, have adopted trace-based Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. ...

The primary consequence of just-in-time (JIT) production is reduction of inventory. The associated benefit is (a) improved cashflow due to less financial resource tied up in inventory, and (b) less storage space required hence more productive plant area. Coupled with lean production and total quality management (TQM), it may also be possible to (c) improve worker productivity, (d) improve produ...

The Monden Problem, also known as the Output Rate Variation Problem (ORV), is one of the original formulations for mixed-model assembly line level scheduling problems in a just-in-time (JIT) system. In this paper, we develop a new branch-and-bound procedure as an efficient solution of this problem that uses several new and previously proposed lower and upper bounds. The algorithm also includes ...

We brieey describe a Just-In-Time (JIT) implementation where cyclic schedules play a critical role. Central to the implementation is a clear understanding of the interactions between scheduling, due date quotation, capacity allocation, variability in production and demand, inventory management and customer service. Furthermore, a novelty of this implementation is that we used the new technology...

In this paper, we propose and derive a slotted-time model for analyzing the burst blocking probability in Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks. We evaluated the immediate and delayed signaling reservation schemes. The proposed model compares the performance of both just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-time (JET) signaling protocols associated with of void/non-void filling link scheduling schemes...

This paper proposes “New JIT”, a new principle of next generation management technology that contributes to corporate management. New JIT consists of a hardware system founded on three core elements (TMS—Toyota Marketing System, TDS—Toyota Development System, and TPS—Toyota Production System), and a software system (TQM-S) (total quality management utilizing statistical quality control (SQC)) t...
