When there is a production system With excess capacity, i.e. more capacity than the demand for the foreseeable. future, upper management might consider utilizing only a portion of the available capacity by decreasing the ...

Conclusions. A simulated kidney allocation experiment based on real patient and donor data showed that FORAS is more useful than other kidney allocation systems because its results more closely reflect the thinking of ...

This study develops a Web-based collaborative system framework based on a multiple perspective approach. This framework is a recent decision support system (DSS) paradigm proposed by Courtney [Decis. Support Syst. 31 (2001) ...

In this paper, we propose novel mathematical models involving both single- and biobjective functions that deal with a flexible job shop scheduling problem in cellular manufacturing environment by taking into consideration ...

It is a hard process to modify master production schedule in a Firm having various types of products and final assembly groups. Therefore, the system should automatically make the needed and proper modifications when they ...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of designing warehouses to determine average order picking time and travelled distance using a data mining technique. Order picking is a warehouse operation that is repeated for ...

In this study, TiO2 (2.5 and 5.0 wt%) doped ZnO-Bi2O3-MnO-CoO were produced by chemical precipitation method. In the ceramics produced, the effect of TiO2 addition, sintering temperature, and time on breakdown voltage was ...

Because the alternative process plans have significant contributions to the production efficiency of a manufacturing system, researchers have studied the integration of manufacturing functions, which can be divided into ...
