The demand for increasing product variety and customization has forced many companies to adopt a make-to-order (MTO) strategy. Traditional push-type MTO suffer from unstable demands, struggling deliver on time, making them consider the utilization of pull systems control production. In present paper, an overview in environments is presented. Moreover, discrete event simulation (DES) model compa...

A propositional formula in Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) may contain redundant clauses — clauses whose removal from the formula does not affect the set of its models. Identification of redundant clauses is important because redundancy often leads to unnecessary computation, wasted storage, and may obscure the structure of the problem. A formula obtained by the removal of all redundant clauses f...

scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. on other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. a maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equip...

Manufacturing system becomes increasingly complex in order to gain more competitive advantages in manufacturing globalisation. This paper seeks to gain a better understanding the practical and theoretical issues in collaborative manufacturing between companies in a value creation network. It proposes a conceptualisation for the Global Manufacturing Virtual Network (GMVN). It suggests that the G...

Customer ordering behaviorin the form of size and timing of orders are critical for manufacturing systems such as make-to-order or assemble-to-order systems. To be competitive a Make-to-order manufacture must be flexible, both with regards to volume and product mix. A particularly critical parameter in determining the flexibility needs in the case of responsive manufacturing environments is the...

Nowadays, manufacturing organisations face increasing pressures from the frequent change in product type, continuous demand fluctuation and unexpected change in customer requirements. In order to survive in the turbulent environment, manufacturing organisations must become flexible and responsive to these dynamic changes in the business environment. This paper presents a hierarchical agent bidd...
