摘要:

A definition of industrial engineering which is nearly an exact translation of AIIE's was adopted in 1967 by the Japan Institute of Industrial Engineering. Even after that, there are many who wish to have a clearer definition of the industrial engineer's role, its discipline, limitations and objectives. A broad but new definition is proposed with the hope that it will provoke the establishment of a better definition, that would satisfy the needs in Japan and promote faster development of the art which could contribute more to the welfare of mankind

摘要:

The group activities called ‘ Jishu Kanri ’ by foremen and workers in the forefront of production has been actively promoted in the Japanese Steel Industry by establishing a committee for ’ Jishu Kanri’ activities in the Japan Iron and Steel Federation, with the positive cooperation of its member companies. Nearly 8 years have elapsed since the establishment of this committee, and during this period the ability and skill of the group leaders and members in managing group activities and their awareness of problems and solutions have been greatly improved, thereby contributing much to the improvement of quality, attainment of production targets, reduction in the production costs, and improvement of safety

摘要:

The primary purpose of production scheduling at an integrated iron and steel works is to establish and execute the optimum production schedule that can improve both productivity and yield at each of the plants such as the steelmaking plants and rolling mills, while giving first consideration to the keeping of the date of delivery

摘要:

The Toyota Production System and Kanban System introduced in this paper was developed by the Vice-President of Toyota Motor Company, Mr. Taiiohi Ohno, and it was under his guidance that these unique production systems have become deeply rooted in Toyota Motor Company in the past 20 years. There are two major distinctive features in these systems. One of these is the ‘just-in-time production ’, a specially important factor in an assembly industry such as automotive manufacturing. In this type of production, “ only the necessary products, at the necessary time, in necessary quantity ” are manufactured, and in addition, the stock on hand is held down to a minimum. Second, the System is the ‘respect-for-human’ system where the workers are allowed to display in full their capabilities through active participation in running and improving their own workshops.

摘要:

A lot production system is, generally, adopted in the fabrication shop, which supplies the components for the following assembly line. In such a shop, it is required to supply the components for the following assembly lino without tardiness and to reduce the in-process inventory

摘要:

Introducing a concept of ‘ production speed ’ as a decision variable, a production model with variable (speed-dependent) production time and cost for producing a product item was constructed. Optimization analysis was mode on a single-item, multistage production system in an attempt to determine the optimal production speeds for all stages and the optimal cycle time. For a case of multiple-item production, an optimal job sequence and the optimal production speeds for all jobs were analysed, such that the total flow time was minimized as a primary objective and, in addition, the total production cost was minimized as a secondary objective.

摘要:

To obtain an approximate solution for a large-scale job-shop scheduling problem the decomposition method was investigated. This means that an original problem is decomposed into subproblems, which are solved separately, and then the solution of the original problem is composed from the subproblems' solutions. Different methods to decompose the problem were tested by computational experiments and evaluated from the viewpoint of the goodness of schedule and computation time.

摘要:

Several investigations have been made in soft drink plants during the past 2 years (1970-71) by carrying out the critical nicker fusion test (CFF), performance test (rejection rate of defective bottles) and observation of subsidiary behaviour (looking around, napping, chattering, etc.). Subsidiary behaviour appears to be a compensatory motion, the occurrence of which was related to a low level of worker's consciousness in the monotonous work. Subsidiary behaviour is considered an escape behaviour from monotony and is required as a stimulus which may relieve the feeling of monotony. The monotonous work was confirmed in close observation of the subsidiary behaviours.

摘要:

In some systems where human aspects have to be included, such as management systems, the problems of decision-making in a fuzzy environment have recently attracted special interest in a sense that it is becoming incre:isingly clear that many real-world problems have more to do with fuzziness, rather than randomness, for the major source of imprecision
