This paper presents a practical undertaking to solve an industry-specific problem of facility expansion through relocation of an existing production facility to a proposed new fac...
Selecting an optimum maintenance policy independent of other parameters of the production system does not always yield the overall optimum operating conditions. For instance, high...
We combine interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) with existing evolutionary synthesis software for the design of micromachined resonators and evaluate its effectiveness using...

Simulation models provide a powerful tool for the analysis of manufacturing systems, but their utility beyond the design stage of the system life cycle is hampered by the high cos...
Simulation is used to verify the feasibility of the design of manufacturing cells. The cell design, which combines new and existing machines in a component manufacture, is present...
