This paper discusses production systems design issues, applied to the production system layout of a manufacturer of lighting fittings and components. In this paper, production systems design software tools – Information Systems, Simulation and Computer Aided Design are integrated, exploring ways of dealing with data diversity and assuring valid and efficient production system layouts, taking ad...

In-situ production of precast concrete (PC) members is affected by various factors, such as cost, time, quantity, lead-time, number molds, cycle, cranes, and yard stock area. Particularly, the area constitutes over 84% total required area, considerably larger than This important because in-situ not applicable if satisfied. However, most existing studies related to PC have focused on no study ha...

Nowadays, we are witnessing the growth of firms that distribute the production capacity of their products to a wide geographic range to supply the demand of several markets. In this article, the relationships and interactions between cell design and supply chain design are investigated. For this purpose, a novel integrated model is presented for designing dynamic cellular manufacturing systems ...
