Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the new type of information systems for enterprise integration. By adding functionality to previous manufacturing resource planning systems, the aim is to integrate functions and processes within a manufacturing firm. In this paper, we present a survey of ERP implementation in Swedish manufacturing firms, concerned with ERP system penetration, the ...

Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...

Process planning determines how to produce the designed products using available manufacturing resources economically; thus the manufacturing resources perform a major part in the field of process planning. Most modeling approaches of the manufacturing resources, however, have been studied to cope with production planning and control problems, or to unleash the under-utilized resource flexibili...

The increased turbulence of corporate environments for production enterprises is characterized by shortened product lifecycles and cumulative variants. Customers demand smaller delivery lotsizes with higher variance and shorter delivery times. Short lead times and the resulting need for fast reaction to dynamically changing environments play a major role in production planning and control (Wieh...

In today’s global manufacturing environment, manufacturing functions are distributed as never before. Design, engineering, fabrication, and assembly of new products are done routinely in many different enterprises scattered around the world. Successful business transactions require the sharing of design and engineering data on an unprecedented scale. This paper describes a framework that facili...
