Models and model value in stochastic programming
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-12)
Finding optimal decisions often involves the consideration of certain random or unknown parameters. A standard approach is to replace the random parameters by the expectations and to solve a deterministic mathematical ...
Flexible automation investments: A problem formulation and solution procedure
(Elsevier, 1994-12-22)
In this paper, a multi-period replacement model, based on a mixed integer nonlinear programming formulation, is developed for flexible automation investments. The model takes into account the costs, benefits and effective ...
Production planning for flexible flow systems with limited machine flexibility
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is highly capital-intensive and FMS users are concerned with achieving high system utilization. The production planning function for setting up an FMS prior to production should be ...
Base-stock control for single-product tandem make-to-stock systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
In this paper, we consider a multiple-stage tandem production/inventory system producing a single product. Processing time at each stage is assumed to have a general stationary processing time distribution. The cost of ...
The job shop tardiness problem: A decomposition approach
(Elsevier, 1993-09-10)
An important criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of many manufacturing firms is their ability to meet due dates. In low to medium volume discrete manufacturing, typified by traditional job shops and more recently ...
Dynamic analysis of repetitive decision-free discreteevent processes: The algebra of timed marked graphs and algorithmic issues
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1990-12)
A model to analyze certain classes of discrete event dynamic systems is presented. Previous research on timed marked graphs is reviewed and extended. This model is useful to analyze asynchronous and repetitive production ...
Enterprise modeling for CIM information systems architectures: An object-oriented approach
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) information systems have become extremely important to the global competitiveness of most manufacturing firms. And although much has been written about CIM development and implementation ...
Optimization models for computer data storage design: An application
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
In this paper we discuss a model being used to optimize the system design of the Computer Centre of one of the most important Italian banking groups. Data and transactions, processed by the system, are grouped respectively ...
