Abstract Throughout its history, Operational Research has evolved to include methods,
models and algorithms that have been applied to a wide range of contexts. This …

The performance of a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system is characterized by SO2
removal efficiency (Y 1) and reagent conversion (Y 2). Achieving a near-perfect reaction …

Static risk analysis techniques (SRATs) use event graphs and risk analysis assessment
models. Those techniques are not time-based techniques and hence are inadequate to …

The article presents the application of the original methodology to support tactical capacity
planning in a medium-sized manufacturing company. Its essence is to support medium-term …

Many intelligent distributed production control architectures have been developed for cyber-
physical production systems (CPPSs), but the difficulty in predicting performance has …

The Learning management system (LMS) is now being used for uploading educational
content in both distance and blended setups. LMS platform has two types of users: the …

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry normally arise as a
result of product innovations. Transiting and growing into large organizations is a critical …

In the current era of automation, there has been a growing interest in integrating artificial
intelligence into manufacturing systems. A digital representation of the systems is often …

The purpose of the research presented is a systematic approach towards verification and
validation (V&V) in generic simulation models (GMs) which are used for the planning of …

Modular manufacturing is highly desirable due to its ability to quickly adapt to changing
client demands and therefore its propensity to create high-margin products. However, this …
