The main purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate dimensions of Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMS) using SWARA and COPRAS_G Integration in the automotive industry. First, according to the research literature and 5 automotive industry experts’ opinion, six criteria include flexibility, productivity, inventory, operating cost, responsibility and reconfiguration indicated and weighted by...

Purpose – The actual benefits of the AMT solidarity to the manufacturing system, classified as systemic, will only be acquired and identified if the current design and organizational structure become compatible with the change being introduced. The purpose of this paper is to present a review for the organizational design development related to AMT assumption and the green manufacturing (GM) in...

Purpose – The actual benefits of the AMT solidarity to the manufacturing system, classified as systemic, will only be acquired and identified if the current design and organizational structure become matchable with the change being introduced. The purpose of this paper is to present a review for the organizational design development related to AMT assumption and the green manufacturing (GM) inv...

strategic selection problem is a multi-criteria problem which includes conflicting tangible and intangible criteria. in order to select the most appropriate strategic alternative it is necessary to make tradeoffs between these criteria as well as taking into account the resource limitations which may exist. available methods neglect the distance concept which exists between the alternatives wei...

The control of an agile manufacturing system (AMS) is expected to be flexible, open, scalable and re-configurable so as to tackle the more complex and uncertain information flows. To meet these requirements, we propose agent-based control architecture for AMS, under which the functions of task planning, scheduling and dynamic control are integrated seamlessly. First of all, this paper introduce...

Manufacturing produces real wealth for any country and constitutes the back bone for the service sector. The objective of any organization is to earn profit. Usually the market fixes the selling price of the manufactured components. Unless there is focus on the manufacturing strategy of reducing manufacturing cost, it is very difficult to sustain in this ever competitive world. A suitable manuf...

Let x = (x1, . . . , xp) ′ ∼ N(0,Σ), where Σ is a p×p positive definite matrix. Assume that we have observed a sample of size n, (yi,xi) n i=1 and assume σ = 1. Consider simulating data by taking various combinations of (n, p,Σ,β) as follows: (a) n = 50, 500 (b) p = 100, 1000 (c) Σ = I,S0.1,S0.6 (d) casse (i) β1 = · · · = β5 = 3, βj = 0 for any other j; case (ii) β1 = · · · = β5 = 5, β6 = · · ·...

With the fast development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), security in these special application environments starts to attract more and more efforts. In this project, we form a team of researchers in information security, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and education to jointly design a remotely accessible experiment platform for security education in advanced manufacturing systems (AMS...
