Download or read book The economic lot scheduling problem elsp with sequence dependent setup costs and times a case study written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O presente trabalho analisa o Problema da Programação de Lotes Econômicos (ELSP) que, freqüentemente, se apresenta em indústrias com processos produtivos em linha (onde a produção segue uma seqüência especificada de operações). Tal linha deve manufaturar diferentes produtos, só sendo possível fabricar um produto por vez. Além disso, para o caso estudado, outra característica importante é que os tempos e custos de setup dependem da seqüência de fabricação escolhida. O objetivo do problema é determinar uma seqüência de produção que permita obter conjuntamente os menores custos de setup e de manter estoques, satisfazendo a demanda do mercado sem atrasos. É factível, na teoria, encontrar matematicamente uma solução ótima para o problema, mas sua obtenção se torna impraticável pelas numerosíssimas possibilidades e muitas variáveis a considerar. Por tal motivo, recorre-se ao uso de métodos heurísticos. Neste trabalho analisam-se os dados fornecidos por uma empresa de refrigerantes, que possui um processo em linha, e se estabelecem as seqüências e os volumes de produção para cada produto, obtendo custos próximos do ótimo. O método que se propõe não só é útil para o caso específico, senão também pode ser adaptado a indústrias que guardem características semelhantes.

Book Production Economics

Download or read book Production Economics written by Janerik Lundquist and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1991 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subjects contained in this book all transcend specific skills of engineers, experts, or management scientists, emphasizing holistic as well as analytical approaches for problem identification and solving in new and unpredictable situations. The greater the complexity of engineering projects, the higher the probability of committing elementary errors; the papers presented in this book stress the need for flexibility and the concentration of forces in production economics, in order to propose and implement approaches and solutions which can be adapted to continuously changing circumstances. The state-of-the art of production economics is approaching a critical point in its evolution where it can be seen as part of a greater network, involving people and locations throughout the world. It is hoped that the readers of this volume will perceive production economics as an ongoing and open project, as a methodological work in progress, which requires the combined efforts of scientists and practitioners for coping with the many open questions that it poses.

Book Lotsizing and Scheduling for Production Planning

Download or read book Lotsizing and Scheduling for Production Planning written by Knut Haase and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billions of dollars are tied up in the inventories of manufacturing companies which cause large (interest) costs. A small decrease of the inventory and/or production costs without reduction of the service level can increase the profit substantially. Especially in the case of scarce capacity, efficient production schedules are fundamental for short delivery time and on-time delivery which are important competitive priorities. To support decision makers by improving their manufacturing resource planning system with appropriate methods is one of the most of production planning. interesting challenges The following chapters contain new models and new solution strategies which may be helpful for decision makers and for further research in the areas of production planning and operations research. The main subject is on lotsizing and scheduling. The objectives and further characteristics of such problems can be inferred from practical need. Thus, before an outline is given, we consider the general objectives of lotsizing and scheduling and classify the most important characteristics of such problems in the following sections.

Book Computational Combinatorial Optimization

Download or read book Computational Combinatorial Optimization written by Michael Jünger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-11-21 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tutorial contains written versions of seven lectures on Computational Combinatorial Optimization given by leading members of the optimization community. The lectures introduce modern combinatorial optimization techniques, with an emphasis on branch and cut algorithms and Lagrangian relaxation approaches. Polyhedral combinatorics as the mathematical backbone of successful algorithms are covered from many perspectives, in particular, polyhedral projection and lifting techniques and the importance of modeling are extensively discussed. Applications to prominent combinatorial optimization problems, e.g., in production and transport planning, are treated in many places; in particular, the book contains a state-of-the-art account of the most successful techniques for solving the traveling salesman problem to optimality.

Book The Lot Scheduling Problem in the Hierarchy of Decision Models

Download or read book The Lot Scheduling Problem in the Hierarchy of Decision Models written by Robert Sheldon and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic lot scheduling problem (ELSP) surfaces from competition among products for a scarce resource, usually machine time. When scheduling production of batches in this environment, two issues must be resolved: the size of batches and the start times for production of each batch. Standard approaches to the ELSP focus on scheduling multiple products on a single machine. This thesis addresses three important issues that put the scheduling problem in the context of its physical setting and range of parameters: idle time, the zero switch rule, and stochastic input to a bottleneck machine. In most scheduling heuristics, the reason for idle time is to balance cyclic production patterns. Idle time is also optimal in solutions to problems with high setup costs. We show that the condition for inducing idle time, given zero setup costs, is when one product has dominant holding costs and the remaining products have low machine utilization. A common policy in scheduling is to start production only after the inventory reaches zero. This policy is called the zero switch rule (ZSR) and is regarded as a good scheduling policy. We show that the condition when ZSR is not optimal is when the ZSR solution yields lumpy production patterns for a product with dominant holding costs.

Book Capacitated Lot Sizing Problems in Process Industries

Download or read book Capacitated Lot Sizing Problems in Process Industries written by Ravi Ramya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem (CLSP) in process industries. In almost all process industries, there are situations where products have short/long setup times, and the setup of the product and its subsequent production are carried over, across consecutive periods. The setup of a product is carried over across more than one successive period in the case of products having long setup times. A product having short setup has its setup time less than the capacity of the period in which it is setup. The setup is immediately followed by its production of the product and it may also be carried over, across successive time period(s). Many process industries require production of a product to occur immediately after its setup (without the presence of idle time between the setup and production of the product), and they also require the product to be continuously produced without any interruption. This book considers a single-machine, single-level and multiple-item CLSP problem. This book introduces the Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem with Production Carryover and Setup Crossover across periods (CLSP-PCSC). Mathematical models are proposed which are all encompassing that they can handle continuous manufacturing (as in process industries), and also situations where the setup costs and holding costs are product dependent and time independent/time dependent, with possible backorders, and with other appropriate adaptations. Comprehensive heuristics are proposed based on these mathematical models to solve the CLSP-PCSC. The performance of the proposed models and heuristics are evaluated using problem instances of various sizes. This book also covers mathematical models developed for the Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem with Production Carryover and Setup Crossover across periods, and with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times and Setup Costs (CLSP-SD-PCSC). These models allow the presence of backorders and also address real-life situations present in process industries such as production of a product starting immediately after its setup and its uninterrupted production carryover across periods, along with the presence of short/long setup times. Heuristics proposed for the CLSP-PCSC can be extended to address the CLSP problem with sequence dependent setup costs and setup times. All the models and heuristics proposed in this book address some real-life considerations present in process industries.
