This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling the production in an industrial organisation is very complex. There are two different reasons for this complexity. On the one hand, complexity is due to the variety in range and in level of detail of the activities that playa role in such a control (think of manufacturing process development, capacity planning, coordinating the flow of material through the production process, releasing of workorders, and scheduling). On the other hand, the production process itself may be complex (many products, many stages, complex interrelationships between resources, and uncertainty in the availability of resources). To deal with the first cause for complexity, one creates different, but coordinated levels of control. At each of these levels a specific part of the control of the production process is accounted for (see Anthony [3]). To deal with the second cause for complexity, one groups manufacturing steps into so-called production units (see Bertrand [8]). Each production unit is responsible for a specific part of the production process. Of course, these production units have to be coordinated to ensure that the products are manufactured timely and efficiently. This activity will be referred to as material coordination (see Bertrand [8]).

Download or read book Capacity and Inventory Planning for Make to Order Production Systems written by Klaus Altendorfer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents different models for the simultaneous optimization problem of capacity investment and work release rule parameterization. The overall costs are minimized either including backorder costs or considering a service level constraint. The available literature is extended with the integration of a distributed customer required lead time in addition to the actual demand distribution. Furthermore, an endogenous production lead time is introduced. Different models for make-to-order production systems with one or multiple serial processing stages are developed. Capacity investment is linked to the processing rates of the machines or to the number of the machines. Results are equations for service level, tardiness, and FGI lead time in such a production system. For special cases with M/M/1 and M/M/s queues explicit solutions of the optimization problems or optimality conditions concerning capacity investment and work release rule parameterization are provided.

This book was released on 2007-02-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of product recovery into regular production processes enables new opportunities for cost savings. In case of a dynamic planning situation, for instance when dealing with seasonality or the product life cycle, new motives for keeping stock arise. The work aims to identify those motives and to describe their effects by using methods of optimal control theory.
Download or read book Soil Change Guide Procedures for Soil Survey and Resource Inventory written by U.S. Department of Agriculture and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many soil properties have changed and can change as a result of management, historical land use, or even natural factors, such as drought, interacting with land use. National soil survey databases currently include soil property information for the relatively static soil properties, such as texture, and also for properties affected by management, such as soil organic matter. The databases do not, however, distinguish the values of dynamic soil properties (e.g., organic matter, bulk density, infiltration rate) according to their land use, management system, ecological state, or plant community. ?Dynamic soil properties? as defined in this Guide are soil properties that change within the human time scale. Differences that may exist in these properties can affect the performance of the soil. Furthermore, some dynamic soil properties change very little in response to management and disturbances.

Download or read book Inventory Management written by John W. Toomey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of Inventory Management will be to explain the dynamics of inventory management's principles, concepts, and techniques as they relate to the entire supply chain (customer demand, distribution, and product transformation processes). The interrelationships of all functions will be defined. The book concentrates on understanding the many ramifications of inventory management. In today's competitive business environment, inventory management has proven to be most critical, and this book is directed to the management of inventory to assist in better understanding the body of knowledge required to operate in a competitive world. Almost all functions such as sales, engineering, and accounting have an impact and are impacted by inventory management. The book will assist in the training of students as well as APICS CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management) candidates. As such it will not only be a textbook, but also a desk reference for those employees responsible for controlling inventories, and thereby assist in reducing cost, improving customer service, and maximizing capacity. Each chapter concludes with a case study and suggested solution. The case studies tell the story of a growing company, Smith Industries, and the related inventory management problems it had to address. The problems addressed relate to the subject matter of the chapter.
Download or read book Inventory Management principles and Practices written by P. Narayan and published by Excel Books India. This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Inventory Management Principles and Practices explains all the fundamental principles of Inventory Management. It starts with a definition of Inventory, why it is needed as well as not needed, what is its impact on a business, how do we classify them for ease of control and what are the various techniques of inventory control. Inventory is an outcome of procurement. So obviously, while studying inventories, the logic behind its procurement should be studied. Hence, chapters on Manufacturing Resources Planning have been added. Just-in-time principles and TQM are some more methods of achieving world-class manufacturing, so they have also been included here. In the present scenario, all activities are being computerized. So lessons on e-commerce as well as all the latest technologies that are affecting Inventory Management have been included. Chapters have been included on methods to handle specific classes of inventories such as spare parts inventory, finished goods inventory, work-in-process inventory, surplus, obsolete and non-moving inventory, etc. Logistics and supply chain management defines the path which a material takes in it s life through a company. So it was essential to include a chapter on it also. Keeping in mind the syllabus prescribed in the various universities on this subject, the chapters have been designed accordingly. A chapter has also been included on some motivational thoughts outlining some principles, which would help us to become successful in life. The principles outlined here are universal, applicable to any situation, organization or country.
