Download or read book Material Flow Systems in Manufacturing written by J.M. Tanchoco and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of contributions related to the design and control of material flow systems in manufacturing. Material flow systems in manufacturing covers a broad spectrum of topics directly affecting issues related to facilities design, material handling and production planning and control. In selecting the papers to include in this book, the scope was limited to the design and operational control aspects related to the physical move ment of parts, tools, containers and material handling devices. Recent develop ments in this area naturally led to concentration on flow systems involving cellular manufacturing, and automated transport equipment such as automated guided vehicles. However, the concepts discussed have general applicability to a wide range of manufacturing flow problems. The book is organized in five major sections: 1. design integration and justification; 2. cell design and material handling considerations; 3. alternative material flow paths; 4. operational control problems; and 5. tooling requirements and transport equipment.
Download or read book Energy Related Material Flow Simulation in Production and Logistics written by Sigrid Wenzel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides for the first time an overview on the current approaches and applications of energy aspects in production and logistics by the use of simulation techniques. During the last decade, the importance of energy in the material flow processes has become more and more important. The pressure to reduce the environmental footprint of production and logistics systems will even intensify in future. Therefore, enterprises have started to integrate the use of energy into their planning processes much more than before, even designing feedback loops, e.g., from energy control to production control. This receives additional attention with the increasing use of renewable, but less reliable, energy sources. Care must be taken to establish processes that aim to use energy when it is available. As an example, many industrial processes like melting or coating have significant energy demands, but could vary the point of time of its consumption within specific limits, leading to a very high complexity. It discusses the construction and application of energy-specific performance indicators and analyzes the input information that needs to be acquired before implementing suitable models. On this basis, concrete technical solutions are introduced.

Download or read book Manufacturing Simulation with Plant Simulation and Simtalk written by Steffen Bangsow and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the competition of international production networks, the pressure to - crease the efficiency of production systems has increased significantly. In ad- tion, the number of technical components in many products and as a consequence also the requirements for corresponding assembly processes and logistics pr- esses increases. International logistics networks require corresponding logistics concepts. These requirements can be managed only by using appropriate Digital Factory tools in the context of a product lifecycle management environment, which allows reusing data, supports an effective cooperation between different departments, and provides up-to-date and relevant data to every user who needs it. Simulating the complete material flow including all relevant production, st- age, and transport activities is recognized as a key component of the Digital F- tory in the industry and as of today widely used and accepted. Cutting inventory and throughput time by 20–60% and enhancing the productivity of existing p- duction facilities by 15–20% can be achieved in real-life projects.

Download or read book Factory and Material Flow Design for Mass Production of an Advanced Process Control Educational Device written by Tanach Rojrungsasithorn and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A desktop Fiber Extrusion Device (FrED) was primarily developed for learning smart manufacturing and feedback control systems. As an educational kit, FrED was designed to be compact, safe, and low-cost while also providing feature-rich data. However, the current cost of FrED was still too high, and thus required further design and development to reduce the cost and make it affordable for individual learners. One part of FrED development was to build a FrED factory for mass production in order to provide the physical kits for both offline and online classes. This thesis proposed a factory design based on collected user needs, which included office and production area to effectively support mass production. Material flow and production line was designed and modeled by understanding and performing time studies on all manufacturing processes and logistics required for each component. Scheduling of the part fabrication process was also conducted to minimize the overall production time. With the production line modeling proposed, the production time for one FrED and five FrED was expected to be 1 day 5 minutes and 1 day 163.75 minutes, respectively. This primary study on FrED production can be used to estimate the production required for a larger batch production, and further improve manufacturing processes to reduce the production time required thus resulting in a higher throughput rate of mass production in the future.

Download or read book Tools Methodologies and Techniques Applied to Sustainable Supply Chains written by Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chains are currently globalized and companies operate internationally owing to the fact that raw materials, production processes, and the consumption of the final products are carried out in different countries. This implies high material and information flow, which incurs high costs associated with the supply chain and logistics, sometimes up to 60% of the total cost of the product. Therefore, companies seek to optimize their resources to reduce these costs and improve sustainability in a globalized market. This book, entitled Tools, Methodologies and Techniques Applied to Sustainable Supply Chains, contains 15 chapters that report case studies applied to industrial and service sectors. The authors come from areas such as Mexico, Colombia, Italy, Sweden, Slovakia, China, and Australia. They indicate how managers make use of tools and techniques to solve problems associated with supply chains to reduce their cost and remain competitive. A great effort has been made to analyze this problem, and the methodologies are clearly described here to facilitate the reproducibility of each technique and tool. This was done in the hope that hoping that they may one day be applied in more companies.

Download or read book Progress in Materials Handling and Logistics written by John A. White and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material handling and logistics have become especially important to industrialists because of the competitive advantage that results from using the right methods to provide the right amount of the right material at the right place, at the right time, in the right condition, in the right sequence, in the right orientation, and at the right cost. But, what are the right methods? The emergence of sophisticated control systems, coupled with advances in hardware design, has resulted in a wide variety oftechno logical alternatives availablefor practically any application. Yet, with the emergence of just-in-time methods and the apparent success of the firms that have relied on the use of people and" simple" rules, rather than technology, the proper role of hardware and software in material handling and logistics is open to debate. Despite all that has been accomplished to date, the design of material handling and logistics systems remains an art as well as a science. Regardless of whether it is people, conveyors, lift trucks, robots, guided vehicles, laser scanners, storage/retrieval machines, carousels, voice encoding, machine vision, automatic palletizers, or other methods that are appropriate, selecting the right methods for moving, storing, and controlling material is vital. It is important that the selection decision be made after consideration is given to the requirements for amount, material, place, time, condition, sequence, orientation, and cost.
