IIE Transactions archives from April 2005
Repair-control of enterprise systems using RFID sensory data.
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensing systems provide accurate time-stamped data concerning flows and the state of an enterprise. The real-time information generated from RFID decreases the uncertainty of the state...
Segmented object manufacturing.
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
Rapid Prototyping (RP) is the process of manufacturing physical objects in a layer-by-layer manner directly from their CAD models without any human intervention and without the use of any tools, dies or fixtures specific to...
Design of distributed layouts.
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
We consider the design of plant layouts in environments with multiple products and a planning horizon of several periods where demand volumes and product mix vary from period to period. In these environments, there is a...
Strict-product-ordering approach in the vertical product-line design problem.
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
There are many instances in practice where products in a line are vertically differentiated with respect to all attributes so that higher-end products are at least as good as lower-end products with respect to all...
How lean can lean buffers be?
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
Production lines with unreliable machines usually contain in-process buffers intended to decouple the machines and thereby reduce their mutual interference due to breakdowns. In the modern manufacturing environment, the...
The buffer allocation problem for general finite buffer queueing networks.
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
In almost all real physical systems, finite buffers exist. For example, in manufacturing systems, there is limited waiting room between workstations in assembly lines, material handling systems, and cellular manufacturing...
Throughput performance of automated storage/retrieval systems under stochastic demand.
April 1, 2005... 1. Introduction
Automated Storage/Retrieval (AS/R) systems continue to play a significant role in manufacturing and warehousing. Due to just-in-time deliveries and reduced inventory levels, the large AS/R systems used in the past for raw...
