Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of the research efforts in finite capacity scheduling over the past several years has focused on the generation of precise and almost exact measures for the working schedule presupposing complete information and a deterministic environment. During execution, however, production may be the subject of considerable variability, which may lead to frequent schedule interruptions. Production scheduling mechanisms are developed based on centralised control architecture in which all of the knowledge base and databases are modelled at the same location. This control architecture has difficulty in handling complex manufacturing systems that require knowledge and data at different locations. Adopting biological control principles refers to the process where a schedule is developed prior to the start of the processing after considering all the parameters involved at a resource involved and updated accordingly as the process executes. This research reviews the best practices in gene transcription and translation control methods and adopts these principles in the development of an autonomous finite capacity scheduling control logic aimed at reducing excessive use of manual input in planning tasks. With autonomous decision-making functionality, finite capacity scheduling will as much as practicably possible be able to respond autonomously to schedule disruptions by deployment of proactive scheduling procedures that may be used to revise or re-optimize the schedule when unexpected events occur. The novelty of this work is the ability of production resources to autonomously take decisions and the same way decisions are taken by autonomous entities in the process of gene transcription and translation. The idea has been implemented by the integration of simulation and modelling techniques with Taguchi analysis to investigate the contributions of finite capacity scheduling factors, and determination of the 'what if' scenarios encountered due to the existence of variability in production processes. The control logic adopts the induction rules as used in gene expression control mechanisms, studied in biological systems. Scheduling factors are identified to that effect and are investigated to find their effects on selected performance measurements for each resource in used. How they are used to deal with variability in the process is one major objective for this research as it is because of the variability that autonomous decision making becomes of interest. Although different scheduling techniques have been applied and are successful in production planning and control, the results obtained from the inclusion of the autonomous finite capacity scheduling control logic has proved that significant improvement can still be achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many companies have adopted the approach of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II). Despite the improvements and broadening of the MRP framework, MRP II systems still perform poorly in certain manufacturing environments. Help is at hand. This book proposes new ideas to improve the planning activities at the strategic, tactical and execution layers in manufacturing organisations. It takes into account the diverse nature of manufacturing environments. The book presents an almost unique combination of theory tested in practice, enhancing traditional manufacturing planning approaches. It is essential reading for managers and practitioners in the field, and is also suitable as an advanced text for students in industrial engineering, manufacturing and management.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scheduling has been a major challenging subject in operation management of manufacturing organization. In competitive market, customers need better, cheaper and faster product. For job system, such as the metal stamping die fabrication, products are custom-made or one-of-its-kind, and very low inventoried are kept. Hence quantitative approach such as finite-capacity scheduling is expected to improve the capability of on-time delivery. Research in scheduling optimization is vast and many theories have been developed and their approaches were studies. For industrial application, there is a number of finite capacity scheduling software that could produce detailed assignment of jobs machine. Implementing one of the finite-capacity scheduling software is an option. However, off-the-shelf software is not necessarily fully and instantly applicable in any organization. Although it can be overcome by requesting customized software developed by programming vendor, both of them involve substantial cost and benefit may not be easily justified. For other option, this research aims to create a scheduling module developed with common computer package such as spreadsheet. The thesis includes the review of scheduling concepts and basic techniques. Approaches in scheduling theories are also investigated. Features of commercial scheduling software are explored and compared briefly. There are basically three steps in the mechanisms of generating finite capacity schedules. They include checking machine available time, checking and selecting the item (individual job) based on priority, and, and assigning item to machine and update the machine status. A number of interfaces are used for inputting, holding, sorting, segregating, and transferring data, and generating schedules and reports. After necessary job inputs and decisions, the scheduling module is able to produce working calendar for planned machines and later generate their detailed schedules by referring the estimated operation duration of work piece, machine route and dispatch rules. The reports show performance of schedules generated under different dispatch rules. The program has been created based on a set of simplified conditions. For effective practical usage, accuracy of estimated operation durations, ease of data entry and definition of capacity and details of loading requirements can be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of this book is the development of partnerships between manufacturing companies, their suppliers and customers and the facilitating of these partnerships by information technology and telecommunications. In the 1980s the emphasis in manufacturing was on integration 'within the four walls' of the manufacturing plant. The main issues facing researchers and industrial practitioners at the time were CAD/CAM integration, integration of production planning and control systems, the development of sophisticated computer driven manufacturing, assembly and testing systems and their control through sophisticated shop floor control systems. Today the emphasis has moved towards supply chain management (integration of the supply chain through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Just in Time (JIT) or Quick Response approaches) and customer driven manufacturing. This includes the integration of manufacturing and distribution/logistics planning and control systems. Consequently, success for manufacturing companies in the 1990s requires closer collaboration with customers, suppliers and distributors than in the past. Information Technology and the emergence of a powerful global information infrastructure enable manufacturing industries throughout Europe to develop collaborative partnership across the value chain. Successful collaboration is achieved by the sharing of information at all phases of the business cycle, across the supply chain and across national and international boundaries. The need to collaborate across the supply chain has particular consequences for small and medium sized manufacturing (SMEs) companies, many of whom are compared and subassembly suppliers to the larger companies. Indeed the collaboration between supplier SMEs and their large customers has, in many cases, gone beyond JIT supply of components based on orders delivered, processed and frequently paid for using EDI technology and now extends to joint design and engineering activity. Collaboration between manufacturing companies across the supply chain is therefore placing increasing pressure on the developers of the global information superhighway and on the developers of CAD and other engineering software to ensure compliance with emerging standards, such as STEP, in order to allow intercompany collaboration. These are the issues which form the background of this book. The book is aimed at those researchers and industrial practitioners interested in learning about recent progress in manufacturing systems research and application. Mature results emerging from the ESPRIT-IiM programme are presented. Readers: Manufacturing managers an engineers, Quality/process engineers, IT suppliers/vendors, Academic researchers, Technology transfer centres and Industrial associations.
