Background: The article presents an MCDM model based on the MEREC and WISPS methods for pallet truck selection. Purpose: main purpose of study was to apply a new selection in textile workshop. Study design/methodology/approach: This simplified adoption Simple Weighted Sum Product (WISP) method, Simplified WISP (WISP-S) method. proposed method has fewer computation steps than regular In addition...

We consider the FIFO Stack-Up problem which arises in delivery industry, where bins have to be stacked-up from conveyor belts onto pallets. Given k sequences q1, . . . , qk of labeled bins and a positive integer p. The goal is to stack-up the bins by iteratively removing the first bin of one of the k sequences and put it onto a pallet located at one of p stack-up places. Each of these pallets h...

The paper describes a solution and implementing framework for the management of changes which may occur in a holonic manufacturing system. This solution is part of the semi-heterarchical control architecture developed for agile job shop assembly with intelligent robots-vision workstations. Two categories of changes in the manufacturing system are considered: (i) changes occurring in resource st...
