Lean principles require the identification of an ideal system state along with an associated policy to achieve that state. This paper discusses the use of multi-criteria models in...
Agility, speed and flexibility in production networks are required in today's global competition in the flat world. The accuracy of order date delivery promises is a key elem...

The appropriate production and inventory control policy is a key factor for modern enterprises’ success in competitive environment. In the food industry, most of food manufactur...
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...
We investigate the conception that the sample variance of the control variate (CV) should be used for estimating the optimal linear CV weight, even when the CV variance is known. ...
In this paper, we investigate results on relationship between different semantics of place/transition Petri nets based on labelled partial orders. We also discuss relationships be...
The paper presents an extensible Petri Net Markup Language (xPNML), which is an extended version of PNML. The xPNML format overcomes limitations associated with PNML structure for...
