modern manufacturing is under ever increasing pressure to develop solutions for highly complextasks. in order to maintain the business survival in a highly competitive environment, it is vital toobtain customer satisfaction, which requires developing products with shorter lifecycles and higherquality meanwhile to reduce the production costs. in order to achieve such objectives a paradigmhas bee...

As products and their manufacturing systems have become more sophisticated and complex, both industry and academia have widely discussed complexity in product design and manufacturing to understand its impact. However, the impact of complexity on manufacturing performance has not been clearly articulated in the previous empirical studies despite the widely expected negative relationship between...

With the progress of world trade and globalization, and the development of information & communication technology (ICT) and industrial technology, manufacturing pattern and technology are now facing a turning point. In order to realize economic transformation, the Chinese government published China Manufacturing 2025 national strategy; German government published Industry 4.0; and American gove...

This paper concentrates on the planning requirements for the adoption of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) in order to safeguard their successful implementation. Using the Cypriot manufacturing industry as a case study information is extracted regarding the implementation of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies. The research results are analyzed and are used in the development of a plann...

The advantage of additive manufacturing (AM) (e.g. reasonable time and expense in prototyping, and reliable product) has triggered the idea of using this method in manufacturing of marine vessels components. The current article tries to introduce basic concepts of AM method and its application in marine industry; have a glance at additive-manufactured parts microstructure; elaborate the challen...

facility layout problems (FLPs) are common problem in several manufacturing industries because FLPs have a great impact on production operations. Efficient manufacturing facility layout design could lead to lower manufacturing costs. Therefore, many sub problems should be addressed and considered from design stage. This research proposes a new framework for mix-model assembly line (MAL) manufac...
