Production leveling is an essential element of the Toyota Production System. It aims at balancing production volume as well as production mix to reduce waste, overburden, and unevenness. The application of conventional leveling approaches is limited by the requested product diversity. Because of this production leveling is predominantly used in high volume production. Nevertheless it can be imp...

In this paper we explore the production of streaming media that involves live and recorded content. To examine this, we report on how the production practices and process are conducted through an empirical study of the production of live television, involving the use of live and non-live media under highly time critical conditions. In explaining how this process is managed both as an individual...

While a great effort has concerned the development of fully integrated modular understanding systems, few researches have focused on the problem of unifying existing linguistic formalisms with cognitive processing models. The Situated Constructional Interpretation Model is one of these attempts. In this model, the notion of “construction” has been adapted in order to be able to mimic the behavi...

In this paper we discuss an often neglected component of robot reasoning and decision making, which is temporal reasoning. We provide a practical system for temporal reasoning within the framework of production systems and show its application to robot problems. illustrate the use of the temporal production system for that purpose. 2 Temporal Production System In the proposed system the product...

introduction: some scholars have visualized and drawn the structure of science using different instruments and methods. one of these instruments is the histcite™ software which is exploited to draw scientific mapping according to time order. the purpose of the present research was to survey and draw the scientific structure of tehran university of medical sciences' publications in web of scienc...

This communication addresses the integration of the supplier capacity in the procurement planning process of a customer within a supply chain. Since this supply chain evolves within an uncertain environment, uncertainties may be due to an ill-known demand (prevision) and to the customer production system (scraps, imprecise processing time...). Thus, we propose a collaborative process where the ...

SAGE.2 is a production system that improves its search strategies with practice. The program incorporates four different heuristics for assigning credit and blame, and employs a discrimination process to direct its search through the space of move-proposing rules. The system has shown its generality by learning search heuristics in five different task domains. In addition to improving its searc...

I. Introduction Korean automobile industry achieved dramatic development from the stage of simple assembly of knocked-down parts to the country of 5th production volume in the world during last 30 years. This development might be achived by many factors inside or outside of the country compositely, but it might be impossible without the support of production system by which automobiles were pro...

SAGE is an adaptive production system model of strategy learning. The system begins a task with weak, overly general operators and uses these to find a solution to some problem by trial and error. The program then attempts to resolve the problem, using its knowledge of the solution path to determine blame when an error occurs. Once the faulty operator has been found, the system employs a proces...
