This paper considers the scheduling problems arising in two- and three-machine manufacturing cells configured in a flowshop which repeatedly produces one type of product and where ...
Cycle time-throughput (CT-TH) percentile curves quantify the relationship between percentiles of cycle time and factory throughput, and they can play an important role in strategi...
This paper describes the development of a real-time monitoring system for a batch process operated by Aroma and Fine Chemicals Limited. The process shares many similarities with o...

Because most of the procedures in defect inspection process of TFT-LCD module assembly are examined manually through human vision, cycle time estimation for this particular process...
Abstract We consider the problem of coordinating the operations of two supply chain partners: a foreign shipping company and a domestic port. The two partners have conflicting busi...
Using discrete-event simulation models, a study was conducted to evaluate the current production practices of a high-volume semiconductor back-end operation. The overall goal was ...
