This paper is motivated by a case study performed at a company that manufactures two main types of customized products. In an effort to significantly increase their throughput cap...
A framework to design simulation models is described in order to perform activity-based costing for flexible manufacturing systems before actual manufacturing activities. For illu...
In order to accurately cost the new product manufacture, and to assess a `what if' scenario in a rapid manner, requires an information system which can integrate the process ...
Simulation techniques have been proven as reliable and powerful tools in the design, development, evaluation and operation of manufacturing systems. The following paper presents a...
In this paper, we compare two scheduling procedures designed to minimize setup costs for a make-to-order electronics manufacturing. While setup costs are important, quick response...
