Download or read book Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness written by Cengiz Kahraman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-19 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production engineering and management involve a series of planning and control activities in a production system. A production system can be as small as a shop with only one machine or as big as a global operation including many manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and retail locations in multiple continents. The product of a production system can also vary in complexity based on the material used, technology employed, etc. Every product, whether a pencil or an airplane, is produced in a system which depends on good management to be successful. Production management has been at the center of industrial engineering and management science disciplines since the industrial revolution. The tools and techniques of production management have been so successful that they have been adopted to various service industries, as well. The book is intended to be a valuable resource to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the applications of production management under fuzziness. The chapters represent all areas of production management and are organized to reflect the natural order of production management tasks. In all chapters, special attention is given to applicability and wherever possible, numerical examples are presented. While the reader is expected to have a fairly good understanding of the fuzzy logic, the book provides the necessary notation and preliminary knowledge needed in each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents new results in the area of the development of exact and heuristic scheduling algorithms. It contains eight articles accepted for publication for a Special Issue in the journal Algorithms. The book presents new algorithms, e.g., for flow shop, job shop, and parallel machine scheduling problems. The particular articles address subjects such as a heuristic for the routing and scheduling problem with time windows, applied to the automotive industry in Mexico, a heuristic for the blocking job shop problem with tardiness minimization based on new neighborhood structures, fast heuristics for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem or a new mathematical model for the period-aggregated resource leveling problem with variable job duration, and several others.
Download or read book Worst case Performance of Scheduling Heuristics written by Bo Chen and published by I.B.D. Limited. This book was released on 1994 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Attempts to cope with the challenge of optimal utilization of limited resources in accomplishing variegated tasks have resulted in an exciting field known as scheduling theory. The resources and tasks are commonly referred to as machines and jobs, respectively. In this thesis efficient heuristic algorithms are developed, which quickly provide near optimal solutions for various problems in scheduling theory that are practically intractable to solve to optimality. The worst-case performance of the heuristic algorithms is thoroughly analyzed. With respect to machine environments, the scheduling problems considered range from parallel machine shops, through open and flow shops, to common generalizations of the classical shop models. With respect to the job characteristics, these problems may involve preemptive or non-preemptive scheduling, with setup times included in or separated from processing times. With respect to the ways jobs are released and scheduled, both off-line and on-line problems are investigated."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Flow Shop Scheduling written by Hamilton Emmons and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although several monographs and edited volumes have discussed scheduling in general, most of these works survey the field by contributing a single chapter to production systems like flow shops. Flow Shop Scheduling: Theoretical Results, Algorithms, and Applications is solely dedicated to bringing together a huge body of knowledge on the subject, along distinct design features, in order to help scholars and practitioners easily identify problems of interest. This monograph has been organized into ten distinct flow shop systems and explores their connections. The chapters cover flow shop systems including two-machine, flexible, stochastic, and more. Outside of the traditional flow shops that require a job never revisits any stage, this book also examines the reentrant flow shop, in which a job may cycle back and be reprocessed at the same station or sequence of stations, multiple times. The authors have made the material accessible to a broad readership, using simplified notation and revealing unifying concepts. The results unique to flow shop research should provide the seed for research in other areas of scheduling and in optimization in general.
Download or read book Applying Particle Swarm Optimization written by Burcu Adıgüzel Mercangöz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the theoretical structure of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and focuses on the application of PSO to portfolio optimization problems. The general goal of portfolio optimization is to find a solution that provides the highest expected return at each level of portfolio risk. According to H. Markowitz’s portfolio selection theory, as new assets are added to an investment portfolio, the total risk of the portfolio’s decreases depending on the correlations of asset returns, while the expected return on the portfolio represents the weighted average of the expected returns for each asset. The book explains PSO in detail and demonstrates how to implement Markowitz’s portfolio optimization approach using PSO. In addition, it expands on the Markowitz model and seeks to improve the solution-finding process with the aid of various algorithms. In short, the book provides researchers, teachers, engineers, managers and practitioners with many tools they need to apply the PSO technique to portfolio optimization.
