Chapter 1The Design of Manufacturing Systems to Cope with Variability

Buzacott, John A.

Pages: 1 –28

[Manufacturing systems have to be able to cope with variability, such as job variety, machine failures and repair, operation time variability and the variability between workers. The chapter shows how models can be used to support the design of systems that cope with variability. In job shops...

Chapter 2Modeling Automated Warehouses Using Semi-Open Queueing Networks

Cai, Xiao; Heragu, Sunderesh S.; Liu, Yang

Pages: 29 –71

[We use semi-open queueing networks (SOQN) to model and analyze the autonomous vehicle storage and retrieval system (AVS/RS). Analyzing a complicated SOQN via computer simulation is time-consuming. Thus in this chapter, we propose two analytical methods – the state space method and the matrix...

Chapter 3Exact Analysis of Discrete Part Production Lines: The Markovian Queueing Network and the Stochastic Automata Networks Formalisms

Fernandes, P.; O’Kelly, M. E. J.; Papadopoulos, C. T.; Sales, A.

Pages: 73 –113

[Manufacturing systems are quite complex and many research works have been devoted to their analysis, modeling, design and operation. This work is concerned with the exact analysis of discrete part production lines. More specifically, two formalisms are provided: (a) the Markovian Queueing...

Chapter 4Models of Leveling for Lean Manufacturing Systems

Furmans, Kai; Veit, Martin

Pages: 115 –138

[Lean manufacturing had its first worldwide appearance in 1990 with a documentation [21] about state of the art car manufacturing, sales and logistics systems for various Japanese, American and European car manufacturers and their suppliers.]

Chapter 5Value of Advance Demand Information in Production and Inventory Systems with Shared Resources

Karaesmen, Fikri

Pages: 139 –165

[Investigating the benefits of Advance Demand Information (ADI) in production and inventory systems has been a significant research question in recent years. We view ADI as a general concept encompassing different types of future demand information: formal and subjective forecasts, early or...

Chapter 6Production Systems Engineering: Review and Recent Developments

Li, Jingshan; Meerkov, Semyon M.; Zhang, Liang

Pages: 167 –210

[Production Systems Engineering (PSE) is an emerging branch of Engineering intended to investigate fundamental laws that govern production systems and utilize them for the purposes of analysis, design, and continuous improvement.]

Chapter 7Production Release Control: Paced, WIP-Based or Demand-Driven? Revisiting the Push/Pull and Make-to-Order/Make-to-Stock Distinctions

Liberopoulos, George

Pages: 211 –247

[The last 2 decades have seen a surge in the literature related to pull control, kanban-type control, WIP control, and more generally token-based production control systems. Not only have many generalizations, extensions, and variants of the original kanban system been introduced, analyzed, and...

Chapter 8Queueing Network Models of Material Handling and Transportation Systems

Smith, J. MacGregor

Pages: 249 –285

[Whether in a factory setting or supply chain service operation, the non-instantaneous movement of products and customers is an important part of the performance measures of these systems e.g. throughput, cycle time, and work-in-process (WIP). One approach to capturing these measures in material...

Chapter 9Modeling and Analysis of Output Variability in Discrete Material Flow Production Systems

Tan, Barış

Pages: 287 –311

[Developing analytical models for performance evaluation of production systems has been subject to numerous studies in the literature [4, 15, 24]. The main focus in most of these studies has been on utilizing Markovian models and deriving various first-order performance measures from the...

Chapter 10Stochastic Lot Sizing Problems

Tempelmeier, Horst

Pages: 313 –344

[In this chapter dynamic lot sizing problems with random demands are discussed. Several approaches to handle uncertainty are presented. Single-item problems as well as multi-item lot sizing problems with limited capacities of a scarce resource are considered. Thereby the focus is on numerically...
