This paper presents our work on the application of virtualreality simulation to the design of a production line for a mechanically-assembled product. The development of this simulation was undertaken as a part of the Manufacturing Simulation and Visualization Program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. The major research problem is the partitioning and ana...

Supply chain management is the key to the success and playing a large role in the modern world in every manufacturing and service sector. The effectiveness of the material handling system has a valuable impact on the excellence of supply chain. Although this is a non-value adding process but, can’t be avoidable. Therefore, it is required to minimize the cost, time and effect of the material han...

Fast and dramatic changes in customer expectations, competition, and technology are creating an increasingly uncertain environment. To respond, manufacturers are seeking to enhance flexibility across the value chain. Manufacturing flexibility, a critical dimension of value chain flexibility, is the ability to produce a variety of products in the quantities that customers demand while maintainin...

Abstract. The efficient development of metal products with high quality usually requires realistic numerical simulations before the manufacturing procedure. choice constitutive model has a considerable influence on predicted material behavior’s description. Several models have been proposed to describe different mechanical phenomena. However, its selection is labored task that expertise. This l...
