An Integrated Model for an Industrial Production–Distribution ProblemIIE Transactions - Tập 33 - Trang 705-715 - 2001
Clarisse Dhaenens-Flipo, Gerd Finke
In this paper, we are interested in a multi-facility, multi-product and
multi-period industrial problem. In this problem, both production and
distribution costs are significant and they are inter-related. Therefore they
should be considered simultaneously in a cost optimization problem. We model
this combined production–distribution problem in the form of a network flow
problem with relatively few... hiện toàn bộ
Multi-shuttle automated storage/retrieval systemsIIE Transactions - Tập 29 - Trang 925-938 - 1997
RUSSELL D. MELLER , ANAN MUNGWATTANA
Multi-shuttle automated storage/retrieval systems have been developed for use in
factories and distribution centers because they are more efficient than
single-shuttle systems (owing to less empty travel). This improved efficiency
results in more agile support (flexible response, less waiting time, etc.) for
the production system the storage/retrieval system serves. In this paper we
develop analyt... hiện toàn bộ
Using Tocher's curve to convert subjective quantile-estimates into a probability distribution functionIIE Transactions - - 1999
HON-SHIANG LAU, AMY HING-LING LAU, JOHN F. KOTTAS
One standard approach for estimating a subjective distribution is to elicit
subjective quantiles from a human expert. However, most decision-making models
require a random variable's moments and/or distribution function instead of its
quantiles. In the literature little attention has been given to the problem of
converting a given set of subjective quantiles into moments and/or a
distribution func... hiện toàn bộ
Optimal allocation of resources in a job shop environmentIIE Transactions - - 1999
SRIDHAR SESHADRI, MICHAEL PINEDO
In this paper we study the allocation of production services (e.g., maintenance)
to machining centers in a job shop when there is a limited amount of resources
for such services. Different classes of jobs go through the shop. A job class is
characterized by its route, its processing requirements, and its priority. The
problem we address is how to optimally allocate production services (the

The dynamic T 2 chart for monitoring feedback-controlled processesIIE Transactions - Tập 34 - Trang 1043-1053 - 2002
Fugee Tsung, Daniel W. Apley
As manufacturing quality has become a decisive factor in global market
competition, statistical quality techniques such as Statistical Process Control
(SPC) are widely used in industry. With advances in information, sensing, and
data collection technology, large volumes of data are routinely available in
processes employing Automatic Process Control (APC) and Engineering Process
Control (EPC). Alt... hiện toàn bộ
A mathematical model and a heuristic procedure for the robust design problem with high-low tolerancesIIE Transactions - Tập 33 - Trang 1121-1127 - 2001
Yahya Fathi, Daniel Palko
We introduce the concept of robust design in the context of high-low tolerancing
and propose a mathematical programming model for it. In situations where the
transfer function is available either in closed form or through computer
simulation, this model can be solved using conventional non-linear programming
techniques. We also introduce an approximation procedure for solving this
problem experime... hiện toàn bộ
Intelligent agent modeling of an industrial warehousing problemIIE Transactions - Tập 34 - Trang 601-612 - 2002
Byung-In Kim, Robert J. Graves, Sunderesh S. Heragu, Art St. Onge
In this paper, we consider an actual industrial warehouse order picking problem
where goods are stored at multiple locations and the pick location of goods can
be selected dynamically in near real time. We solve the problem using an
intelligent agent-based model. The modeling framework is between the two
extremes of hierarchical and heterarchical frameworks. It recognizes that
horizontal as well a... hiện toàn bộ
Single operation earliness–tardiness scheduling with machine activation costsIIE Transactions - Tập 34 - Trang 509-513 - 2002
Shrikant S. Panwalkar, Surya D. Liman
We consider a static, single operation, non-pre-emptive, deterministic
scheduling problem in which a set of n jobs is to be processed on k identical
machines. Jobs assigned to each machine have a common due date. The number of
machines (k) is unknown. Activating a machine will require additional costs to
be incurred. The objective is to find an optimal sequence, the optimal number of
machines (k),... hiện toàn bộ
An implicit enumeration approach to tolerance allocation in sequential tolerance controlIIE Transactions - Tập 31 - Trang 75-84 - 1999
DAVID L. Wheeler, TOM M. Cavalier, E. AMINE Lehtihet
The accuracy and precision of a manufactured dimension is largely dependent on
the accuracy and precision of the technological processes selected for its
execution. It is not unusual to have available several competing technological
processes for execution of each manufacturing operation specified in a process
plan, where it is generally assumed that as the precision of the technological
process i... hiện toàn bộ
Partial least square-based model predictive control for large-scale manufacturing processesIIE Transactions - Tập 34 - Trang 881-890 - 2002
Kyuchul Song, Pyoung Yol Jang, Hyunbo Cho, Chi-Hyuck Jun
The Model Predictive Control (MPC) method has been widely adopted as a useful
tool to keep quality on target in manufacturing processes. However, the
conventional MPC methods are inadequate for large-scale manufacturing processes
particularly in the presence of disturbances. The goal of this paper is to
propose a Partial Least Square (PLS)-based MPC methodology to accommodate the
characteristics o... hiện toàn bộ
