Many problems in manufacturing systems can be formulated via Markov stochastic
modeling. This paper gives a review and classification of timed models of manufacturing …

Many production systems have acquisition and merge operations to increase productivity.
This paper proposes a novel method to anticipate whether a merger in a market is …

From the perspective of network analysis, the manufacturing system can be constructed as a
stochastic-flow network, since the capacity of each machine is stochastic (ie multistate) …

This study considers a two-class production system that is subject to operational and quality
failures. A generalized example for such systems is the remanufacturing processes where …

Production systems with waiting time constraints are frequently encountered in
semiconductor, automotive, battery, food, and many other manufacturing industries. Under …

Production split and merge operations are widely used in many manufacturing systems to
increase production capacity and variety, improve product quality, and carry out scheduling …

Many industrial facilities involve splitting production systems of different complexities and
arrangements. The accurate and efficient evaluation of the associated performance …

By high calibre of the fundamental nature of electric power, both of our economic and
personal interests, a system is expected to supply as electrical energy as possible with the …

Unbalanced, unreliable (UR), unpaced, merging assembly lines are simulated in this study
with varying line lengths, buffer storage capacities, imbalance degrees and unequal mean …

Assembly lines are one of the cornerstones of modern production systems, significantly
affecting the global society, economy, and other ancillary sectors. This is why the evaluation …
