Optimizing prototyping effort with an evolving product design.
October 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
A company can create competitive advantage for itself by bringing its products to market ahead of its competitors According to O'Connor (1986) more than 50% of profit, accrue from products that are less than 5 years old. In...
Development and pilot testing for virtual manufacturing tools with intelligent attributes.
October 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
As a rapidly growing technology, the Virtual Environment (VE) offers exciting new ways of human involvement in the process of manufacturing automation. VE techniques allow the user to be coupled with visual and auditory...
Optimal production control problem in stochastic multiple-product multiple-machine manufacturing systems.
October 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
We are concerned with the problem of controlling the production rates of a failure-prone manufacturing system consisting of multiple machines producing different part types. Basing their work on the Rishel formalism...
Greedy tool heuristic approach to rough milling of complex shaped pockets.
October 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
Machining of a sculptured surface must go through rough cutting followed by finishing processes. The purpose of finish machining is to realize the part shape and surface specifications. When accuracy is the major concern,...
Analysis of workflow protocol adaptability in TestLAN production systems.
October 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
To assure the final product quality, testing can account for a significant portion of the manufacturing time. Testing procedures, however, are subject to changes as the result of a variety of factors, including new quality...
Optimization-based manufacturing scheduling with multiple resources, setup requirements, and transfer lots.
October 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
The increasing demand for on-time delivery of products and low production cost is forcing manufacturers to seek effective schedules to coordinate machines and operators so as to reduce costs associated with labor, setup,...
