existence of pressure on industries for successful competition, gives redundant importance to ability of percepting future. withal, manufacturing sector is one of the important economic pillars of each country. in line with this, the purpose of this study is presenting a model of key factors affecting the future of manufacturing in islamic republic of iran. this research is an applied research ...

this research aims at presenting a consolidated model of data envelopment analysis (dea) technique and value engineering to select the best manufacturing methods for gate valve covers and ranking the methods using topsis.to do so, efficiency evaluation indices were selected based on the value engineering approach and different manufacturing methods were evaluated using dea technique.finally, ef...

we compare two approaches for a markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (fmss) using monte carlo simulation. the model which is a development of fazlollahtabar and saidi-mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (agv) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of agvs in a multiple agv jobsho...

T his paper investigates the gain of bilateral trade between China and U.S. in manufacturing sectors when both countries play a role in asymmetric (biased) growth of  international trade. Our model includes a special case of Biased Growth Theory in international trade. We collected labor productivity, export and import data by using classification of manufacturing industries, for U.S...

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 Execution Systems (MES) und Operational Business Intelligence (OpBI) analysieren und koordinieren betriebliche Abläufe in unterschiedlichen Segmenten der Wertschöpfungskette eines Unternehmens. Dies birgt die Gefahr, dass eine Verinselung der Infrastruktur innerhalb der operativen Entscheidungsunterstützung erfolgt. Daher ist das Ziel der Forschung, inwieweit eine gemeinsame Betra...

In this paper a conception of using Lean Manufacturing methodology in disassembly and reassembly processes (Remanufacturing) is presented. Nine scenarios of material and information flows in Remanufacturing processes were developed in order to cover most of possible real situations.

Das Konzept des Workflow-Management lässt sich auf unterschiedliche Ursprünge zurückführen. Zum einen kann Workflow-Management als Weiterentwicklung der Büroautomation in Richtung einer Prozessunterstützung des kaufmännisch-administrativen Bereiches verstanden werden. Zum anderen hat es seine Wurzeln im Konzept des Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) des Fertigungsbereiches, das sich bereit...

engineering design processes. Among these models, one of the most widely known is perhaps the one proposed by Pahl and Beitz [42]. It presents a systematic engineering design approach including four core design phases: product planning and clarifying the task, conceptual design, embodiment design, and detail design. Similarly, Ulrich and Eppinger [43] introduce a more refined design process by ...

This paper deals with the improvement of productivity of a multi product manufacturing industry. The authors identified the obstacles which make the improvement in the productivity of a Manufacturing Industry as infeasible. The authors instructed some suggestions with IE tools and techniques for removing those obstacles. Keywords— Productivity, Batch production, Work sampling, Time study, Cause...
