Production is one of the most significant building blocks that strengthen the sustainable
economy of companies and thus contribute to the countries' welfare. Performance indicators …

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

Performance metric calculation is one of the most important problems in production system
research. In this paper, we consider serial production lines with finite buffers and machines …

Nowadays, the growing interest in industry for enhancing manufacturing processes
sustainability is a major trend. One of the most supported strategies to increase the energy …

Serial lines with multi-type products, finite buffers, and stochastic machine breakdowns are
commonly seen in flexible production systems, where multiple small-size production batches …

It becomes more and more critical for manufacturing enterprises to improve energy efficiency
because of the escalating energy prices, increasing global competitions, and more rigorous …

This paper is devoted to modeling, analysis, and improvement of flexible manufacturing
systems with asynchronous exponential machines and finite nondedicated buffers. In such …

In this paper, we study production control problems in a partially flexible production-
inventory system. In such a system, the upstream flexible production subsystem can make …

This paper introduces a case study to improve productivity of a multi-product transmission
case machining line at a motorcycle manufacturing plant. First, the manufacturing process is …

In this paper, we introduce an application study of modelling, analysis and continuous
improvement of an assembly system at a furniture manufacturing plant using production …
