摘要:

Optimization techniques are widely used in many areas and frequently developments of a technique in one area open up opportunity for its use in other areas. This paper presents examples of how the newer techniques have contributed to the improvement in technological processes. After a brief discussion of optimization, available optimization techniques are classified and the principles of constraint and uncertainty programming outlined. The application of current techniques to design problems in various production disciplines are then discussed and the Appendix presents some problem solutions.

摘要:

This paper deals with analysis of man—machine systems by asking for the essential task clone by the subsystem ‘ operator ). By using the method of block-box analysis static and dynamic characteristics of the subsystem can be found. Different research methods are discussed. Practicable methods should not influence the work situation, therefore a telemetric registration should be preferred. Examples for analysis of heavy work load, senso-motoric and mental tasks are given.

摘要:

By using empirical studies of nursing organizations and theoretical models, improvements in- the utilization of nursing teams have been achieved. These improvements are evidenced by increased time spent with the patient rather than on other duties. A problem, so far unresolved, arises with the need to change the allocation of nurses to patients at certain times. Whilst this did not hinder the operation of the scheme when it was tested, nurses expressed some reservations on this point, and further research is clearly required.

摘要:

Group technology, a manufacturing concept for small and medium quantity production, is receiving more and more interest from the machine-building industry all over the world. A prerequisite for the implementation is the grouping of parts, which are similar with respect to manufacturing. As an aid to this a classification system based on a form description is introduced. For the machining of this similar parts several manufacturing concepts according to the complexity of the parts have been developed, e.g. machining centres, flow lines and automats. Two case studios are presented. One is the layout of an unlinked flow line, the other one is the utilization of a machining centre. With the introduction of group technology in a firm, the design and work-planning departments can take advantage. Some hints are given with respect to that possibility.
