PT. ABC is a company engaged in the manufacture of Dolomite Fertilizer. The number requests greater than amount production. Due to fluctuations that tend increase, this occurs due lack capacity at workstation. Therefore, it necessary calculate requirements planning analysis for each work station know company's needs. research aims identify shortage/excess production and provide proposals balanc...

Hospital administrations in the developing–world face great challenges to meet the demand for more physicians in hospitals. A computer-based physician requirement planning model is a user-friendly approach in response to such demands. This article presents a new methodology based on a Graphic User Interface (GUI) using Java. Information on work days/ hours, activity-wise standard times and annu...

This paper examines the progressive deployment of the enterprise resource planning software package, MFG/PR0 by the Australian manufacturing and distribution conglomerate CSR Ltd. within its forestry and forest products divisions. Reasons for initial deployment and the ostensible range of benefits obtained subsequent to initial deployment were investigated, as was the recent sale of the majorit...

In this paper we discuss a framework for capacity planning and lead time management in manufacturing companies, with an emphasis on the machine shop. First we show how queueing models can be used to find approximations of the mean and the variance of manufacturing shop lead times. These quantities often serve as a basis to set a fixed planned lead time in an MRP-controlled environment. A major ...

Myeloid-related protein 14 (MRP-14) and its heterodimeric partner, MRP-8, are cytosolic calcium-binding proteins, highly expressed in neutrophils and monocytes. To understand the function of MRP-14, we performed targeted disruption of the MRP-14 gene in mice. MRP-14(-/-) mice showed no obvious phenotype and were fertile. MRP-8 mRNA but not protein is present in the myeloid cells of these mice, ...

This paper deals with constraint handling in manufacturing. It starts with a basic de nition of the constraint satisfaction problem, followed by a description of consistency enforcing and constraint guided search. Constraint handling in scheduling problems is the main topic of the paper also presenting di erent types of schedule construction methods and explaining the use of temporal constraint...
