The way humans work in production and logistics systems is changing. The evolution of
technologies, Industry 4.0 applications, and societal changes, such as ageing workforces …

The purpose of this paper is to systematically examine available empirical evidence on the
impact of human factors (HF) in the design and management of manufacturing operations on …

Disassembly, which plays an essential role in remanufacturing, is the first step to extend the
service life of end-of-life (EOL) products. Traditional disassembly is always accomplished by …

Assembly lines are production lines used to manufacture products, ranging from mass-
production products to mass-customisation with low unit products. Assembly lines consume …

This paper considers a load-sharing man-machine system with multiple man-machine units
(MMUs) subject to machine degradation, human errors, and random shocks. Human errors …

The objective of the current study is to explore System Dynamics modelling to quantify and
understand the effects of nursing workload on nurse burnout, absenteeism, and quality of …

The aim of this research is to:(1) Develop an approach to integrating both human fatigue-
recovery patterns and human learning into Discrete Event Simulation models of a production …

Multi-state weighted k-out-of-n systems have been extensively investigated while previous
studies have only focused on machine systems. In practice, the systems with n man-machine …

Assistive robotic systems are quickly becoming a core technology for the service sector as
they are understood capable of supporting people in need of assistance in a wide variety of …

This paper proposes a model for managing a packaging process of small products at a
production line. The aim of the paper is to determine the optimal size of a box the products …
