Stochastic Scheduling
Stochastic scheduling is in the area of production scheduling. There is a dearth of work that analyzes the variability of schedules. In a stochastic environment, in which the processing time of a job is not known with certainty, a schedule is typically analyzed based on the expected value of a performance measure. This book addresses this problem and presents algorithms to determine the variability of a schedule under various machine configurations and objective functions. It is intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in manufacturing, operations management, applied mathematics, and computer science, and it is also a good reference book for practitioners. Computer software containing the algorithms is provided on an accompanying website for ease of student and user implementation.
Algorithmic Applications in Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Algorithmic Applications in Management, AAIM 2005, held in Xian, China in June 2005. The 46 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. Among the topics addressed are approximation, complexity, automatic timetabling, scheduling algorithms, game-theoretic algorithms, economic equilibrium computation, graph computations, network algorithms, computational geometry, combinatorial optimization, sequencing, network management, data mining, Knapsack problems, etc.
Essays in Production, Project Planning and Scheduling
From the Preface: This festschrift is devoted to recognize the career of a man who not only witnessed the growth of operations research from its inception, but also contributed significantly to this growth. Dr. Salah E. Elmaghraby received his doctorate degree from Cornell University in 1958, and since then, his scholarly contributions have enriched the fields of production planning and scheduling and project scheduling. This collection of papers is contributed in his honor by his students, colleagues, and acquaintances. It offers a tribute to the inspiration received from his work, and from his guidance and advice over the years, and recognizes the legacy of his many contributions. Dr. Elma...
Graphic Model of the Processes Involved in the Production of Casegood Furniture
Imports from foreign furniture manufacturers are on the rise and American manufacturers must take advantage of recent technological advances to regain their lost market share. To facilitate implementation of technologies for improving productivity and quality, a graphic model of the wood furniture production process has been developed using the IDEF (ICAM--Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing-DEFinition) modeling process and is presented. IDEF modeling provides a graphic representation of the production process by presenting the information in easy-to-grasp chunks. A description of the modeling process explains how the model represents the data that flows through the plant, the activities in the plant, and their interaction. Analysis of the model may result in improved communication, recognition of specific points for implementing new technologies, evidence of bottlenecks and problem areas, simplified inventory control, or reduction of paperwork.
Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2007, held in Portland, OR, USA in June 2007. It covers graph algorithms, combinatorics, scheduling, graph theory, network algorithms, game theory, option theory, computational geometry, graph theory and combinatorics, as well as networks and data.
Engineering Self-Organising Systems
Self-organisation, self-regulation, self-repair, and self-maintenance are promising conceptual approaches to deal with the ever increasing complexity of distributed interacting software and information handling systems. Self-organising applications are able to dynamically change their functionality and structure without direct user intervention to respond to changes in requirements and the environment. This book comprises revised and extended papers presented at the International Workshop on Engineering Self-Organising Applications, ESOA 2004, held in New York, NY, USA in July 2004 at AAMAS as well as invited papers from leading researchers. The papers are organized in topical sections on state of the art, synthesis and design methods, self-assembly and robots, stigmergy and related topics, and industrial applications.
Flow Shop Lot Streaming
This book discusses the process of "Lot Streaming" and how it can significantly improve the overall performance of a production process, and thereby, make the operation of a manufacturing system lean. It provides a complete introduction to the Flow Shop Lot Streaming Problem and provides a historical perspective. It further presents algorithms for a variety of lot streaming problems with numerical illustrations for ease of understanding and implementation.
Advances in Production Management Systems. Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable and Resilient Production Systems
The five-volume set IFIP AICT 630, 631, 632, 633, and 634 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2021, held in Nantes, France, in September 2021.* The 378 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 529 submissions. They discuss artificial intelligence techniques, decision aid and new and renewed paradigms for sustainable and resilient production systems at four-wall factory and value chain levels. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Part I: artificial intelligence based optimization techniques for demand-driven manufacturing; hybrid approaches for production pl...
Information Control Problems in Manufacturing 2006
Information Control Problems in Manufacturing 2006 contains the Proceedings of the 12th IFAC Symposium on Information Control Problems in Manufacturing (INCOM'2006). This symposium took place in Saint Etienne, France, on May 17-19 2006. INCOM is a tri-annual event of symposia series organized by IFAC and it is promoted by the IFAC Technical Committee on Manufacturing Plant Control. The purpose of the symposium INCOM'2006 was to offer a forum to present the state-of-the-art in international research and development work, with special emphasis on the applications of optimisation methods, automation and IT technologies in the control of manufacturing plants and the entire supply chain within th...
