Modeling and Analysis of Two-Part Type Manufacturing Systems
(2005-01)
This paper presents a model and analysis of a synchronous tandem flow line that produces different part types on unreliable machines. The machines operate according to a static priority rule, operating on the highest ...
Efficient Methods for Manufacturing System Analysis and Design
(2002-01)
The goal of the research described here is to develop tools to assist the rapid analysis and design of manufacturing systems. The methods we describe are based on mathematical models of production systems. We combine earlier ...
Modeling and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems with Multiple-Loop Structures
(2006-01)
Kanban and Constant Work-In-Process (CONWIP) control methods are designed to impose tight controls over inventory, while providing a satisfactory production rate. This paper generalizes systems with kanban or CONWIP control ...
A System Architecture-based Model for Planning Iterative Development Processes: General Model Formulation and Analysis of Special Cases
(2002-01)
The development process for complex system is typically iterative in nature. Among the critical decisions in managing such process involves deciding how to partition the system development into iterations. This paper ...
