Power system stabilizers (PSSs) are added to excitation system to enhance the damping during low frequency oscillations. This paper presents a study of fuzzy logic power system stabilizer (PSS) for stability enhancement of a single machine power system. In order to accomplish the stability enhancement, speed deviation (Δω) and acceleration (Δπ) of the rotor of synchronous generator of Kota Ther...

This research explores the appropriateness of unbalancing the workload per machine in certain types of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) configured as pooled machines of unequal sizes. Studies are conducted to examine the applicability of following an objective to unbalance workloads when solving the FMS planning problems of selecting part types to be machined together and determining their...

This paper describes an autonomic machine control system applied to the adaptive control of a modular soldering machine. The particular case concerns the creation of a novel modular production machine with an integrated distributed agent control system, which will be sold worldwide from mid 2008. The agent model is described in terms of the specific customer requirements and specific advantages...

This paper considers the operation of component placement equipment for the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a medium volume, medium variety manufacturing environment. It focuses on the setup management and operational planning issues associated with productive use of these expensive resources. The concept of replanning is introduced to adapt to changes in the production environment...

This paper addresses a single-stage scheduling problem with outsourcing allowed where each job can be either scheduled for in-house production or outsourced to one of the outside subcontractors available. The manufacturer has an unrelated parallel machine system, and each subcontractor has its own single machine. Subcontractors are capable to process all the jobs. Unlike most of past research, ...

This paper deals with lot sizing and scheduling for a single-stage, single-machine production system where setup costs and times are sequence dependent. A large-bucket mixed integer programming (MIP) model is formulated which considers only e$cient sequences. A tailor-made enumeration method of the branch-and-bound type solves problem instances optimally and e$ciently. The size of solvable case...

Abstract The cyber-physical production system (CPPS) was developed for the interconnection between operational technology (OT) and information communication (ICT) among machines decentralized control. However, OT ICT are now getting more complex in modern industry. To enhance industrial management process, CPPS based on 5G architecture under environments can provide a comprehensive solution con...

In this report we consider a failure prone, single machine, single part-type, manufacturing system subject to a non-homogeneous Markov failure/repair process with the failure rate depending on the production rate through a two-value function. The problem is to minimize a long term average expected cost function which penalizes both the presence of waiting customers both a finite inventory surpl...
