dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

this paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. this problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...

The efficient and economic allocation of resources is one main goal in the field of production planning and control. Nowadays, a new variable gains in importance throughout the planning process: Energy. Energy-efficiency has already been widely discussed in literature, but with a strong focus on reducing the overall amount of energy used in production. This paper provides a brief systematic app...

Today competitive environment has enforced practitioners and researchers to pay great attention to issues enhancing both production and marketing competitiveness. To do so, it has been obligatory for the firms to consider production side activities while customer requirements are on the other side of competition. In this regard, hybrid make-to-stock (MTS)/make-to-order (MTO) production systems ...

A multi-product fish production planning produces simultaneously multi fish products from several classes of raw resources. The goal in production planning is to meet customer demand over a fixed time horizon divided into planning periods by optimizing the trade-off between economic objectives such as production cost and customer satisfaction level. The major decisions are production and invent...

this paper introduces the general framework of a new system for material flow planning and operations and some of its important aspects. the justification for the new system stems from the short coming of mrp  i/mrp ii in term of its assumptions, particularly in relation to fixed lead times and effectively infinite production capacity. at the heart of the system is an automatic scheduler based ...

The design of manufacturing planning and control systems is a strategic decision for manufacturing firms. In this paper we analyze the interrelationships among the choices of planning and control approaches at different hierarchical levels, including sales and operations planning (chase; level), master scheduling (make-to-order; assemble-to-order; make-to-stock), material planning (time-phased;...

Computer modelling, simulation and visualization of production flow allowing to increase the efficiency of production planning process in dynamic manufacturing networks. The use of the semi-automatic model generation concept based on parametric approach supporting processes of production planning is presented. The presented approach allows the use of simulation and visualization for verificatio...

For the practical use of supply chain management powerful planning tools are needed to support production and logistics decisions at various planning levels. In our paper, we focus on medium-term supply network planning. As a real application, the production of a chemical additive in a multi-site production and distribution network is considered. Supply network planning is an exceedingly comple...

The vast body of literature on dynamic requirements planning problems in make-to-order production systems assumes that demands in all periods are predefined. In many practical contexts, however, a producer has discretion to accept or deny production orders during the production planning process. That is, given a set of orders for production at a single stage in a set of time periods, along with...
