Synchronous manufacturing aims at achieving the benefits of intermittent production lines in other production situations as well. Benefits such as short and constant throughput times and predictable capacity loading can be acquired through an appropriate design of the synchronous manufacturing system and its control system. The work order release decision is an essential part of this control sy...

The purpose of this article is to develop a method for short and medium term capacity setting decisions for providing a market oriented level of available capacity for the investigated machine groups. An MTO (make to order) production system is considered. The basic concept is that the cumulative available capacity of the machine group has to be greater than or equal to the cumulative needed ca...

In this paper, we formulate a firm’s investment in a production facility with maximum capacity and outsourcing strategy. Existing literature of capacity choice results in an explosive capacity and long delay in investment. Actually, there are slight possibility that a firm installs a facility with an explosive capacity, instead, a firm can outsource production when the demand exceeds its capaci...

in the market for factors of production usually the equilibrium will be stablished on the based of the equality between the value of marginal products of output and their relative price level. on the other hand the value of marginal product of output is a function of observed rate productivity of output and the market capacity of factors of production. thus the fluctuation in the rate of produc...

Queuing theory is a major topic of applied mathematics that deals with phenomenon of waiting and arises from the use of powerful mathematical analysis to describe production processes. This study examines the use of production capacity of facilities in Fujitsu Components (M) Sdn. Bhd. based on queuing theory. The aim of this study is to achieve an appropriate queuing analytical model and determ...

This paper presents an analytical model for the joint determination of optimal production, corrective maintenance and capacity expansion policies for a repairable production system subject to random failures. The production system have to make decisions regarding production and maintenance, as well as investment in capacity expansion in order to minimize costs of investment, production, mainten...

A production system containing a set of machines (also called components) arranged according to a series-parallel configuration is addressed. A set of products must be produced in lots on this production system during a specified finite planning horizon. This paper presents a method for integrating load distribution decisions, and tactical production planning considering the costs of capacity c...

The speed in distributing the products of industry is influenced by production produced itself. SMEs know that ECO one manufacturing industries engaged food manufacturing. there are obstacles (problems) experienced, namely occurrence inequality between capacity tofu can be and demand for must met. purpose this study to increase Tofu Eco terms increasing working time. method used research dynami...
