Simulation based optimization of a train maintenance facilityJournal of Intelligent Manufacturing - Tập 19 - Trang 293-300 - 2008
Yasmina Hani, Lionel Amodeo, Farouk Yalaoui, Haoxun Chen
In this paper, a simulation based optimization method is developed for optimization of scheduling policies. This method uses the technique of coupling industrial simulation software with a multi-objective optimizer based on genetic algorithms. It is used to optimize the performances of a railway maintenance facility by choosing the best scheduling policy. Numerical results show that a significant ...... hiện toàn bộ

Paulo Leitão, J. Marco Mendes, Axel Bepperling, Daniel Cachapa, Armando W. Colombo, Francisco Restivo
Engineering frameworks are currently required to support the easy, low-cost, modular and integrated development of manufacturing systems addressing the emergent requirements of re-configurability, responsiveness and robustness. This paper discusses the integration of 2D/3D digital software tools with Petri net based service-oriented frameworks to allow the design, configuration, analysis, validati...... hiện toàn bộ
Evolving CBR and data segmentation by SOM for flow time prediction in semiconductor manufacturing factoryJournal of Intelligent Manufacturing - Tập 20 - Trang 421-429 - 2008
Pei-Chann Chang, Chin Yuan Fan, Yen-Wen Wang
Flow time of semiconductor manufacturing factory is highly related to the shop floor status; however, the processes are highly complicated and involve more than 100 production steps. Therefore, a simulation model with the production process of a real wafer fab located in Hsin-Chu Science-based Park of Taiwan is built for further studying of the relationship between the flow time and the various in...... hiện toàn bộ
In-process angle measurement and control for flexible sheet metal manufactureJournal of Intelligent Manufacturing - Tập 7 - Trang 177-187 - 1996
Kerry L. Elkins, Robert H. Sturges
A new method of controlling springback in small-radius pressbrake bending operations has been developed. This method provides a more accurate bending process, necessary for the further development of precision, small-lot sheet metal assembly manufacture. The pursuit of this research has led to the development of an inexpensive, high-resolution, on-line angle sensor. In addition, a simplified analy...... hiện toàn bộ
The rough set based approach to generic routing problems: case of reverse logistics supplier selectionJournal of Intelligent Manufacturing - Tập 27 - Trang 781-795 - 2014
Chun-Che Huang, Wen-Yau Liang, Tzu-Liang Tseng, Ping-Houa Chen
In recent years, Reverse Logistics (RL) has been touted as one of the strategies of improving organization performance and generating a competitive advantage. In RL, the generic routing problem has become a focus since it provides a great flexibility in modeling, e.g., selection of suppliers by using a node as a supplier candidate in a network. To date, complicated networks make decision makers ha...... hiện toàn bộ
