Recent production planning studies focus on real-time planning and dynamic scheduling to increase utilization and robustness. In these studies, real-time data is used for planning, but in most of them manufacturing systems ...

There are several methods and techniques for manufacturing cell design. Many clustering techniques have focused on operations that have been made on part-machine matrix. Some methods have used array-based techniques while ...

This paper presents an industrial visual inspection system that uses inductive learning. The system employs RULES-3 inductive learning algorithm to extract the necessary set of rules and template matching technique to ...

The approach taken in this paper is twofold. First manufacturing environment is simplified for the purposes of planning and control without losing any of the essential characteristics. Second, a simple GT model is applied ...

The international literature provides little in-depth analysis of distance education and e-learning activities, achievements, and challenges in Turkish higher education other than the country's mega-university, Anadolu. ...

This study presents operational decision support software to efficiently solve cell formation problems with multiple routes. The software includes two revised algorithms that assist decision makers in choosing the best ...
