摘要:

This article describes a heuristic algorithm which will yield an optimal or near optimal minimal makespan solution to a specific type of sequencing/scheduling problem defined as the dependent sequencing problem which includes the pure job-shop and flow-shop sequencing problems. The name ‘ dependent sequencing ’ was selected for this model since it reflects the possibility of interdependence between activities of the technological processing order graph (GTPO) not present in ‘ pure ’ job -shop or f low-shop sequencing models. There are some approaches to this class of problem which provide optimal solutions, but their time to solutions and/or theoretical approaches make them difficult to understand and apply. Recent articles in the literature have recommended that research in the sequencing/ scheduling area be directed toward developing practical approaches which can be easily understood and applied. The dependent shop algorithm utilizes extensions of PERT/CPM techniques which are widely known and therefore, can be easily applied.

摘要:

Production for a four-station manual assembly line, notionally balanced with respect to station service time means and unpaced in the mechanical sense is simulated in order to determine the effects of station service time variance on operating characteristics of the line. A deeper insight into this problem than has been reported in previous research is presented for small assembly line operation. Details of operating characteristics, including production rate, idle time and buildup of inter-process stock, are measured against station service time variance over a wide spectrum of levels and varying conditions.

摘要:

The single-stage, single-channel cyclic queue is frequently encountered in industry. The class includes an important case of machine interference. In this paper the topic is introduced in a new way which makes it more readily comprehensible to the industrial engineer and an approximate graphical method of solving problems within this area is explained.

摘要:

This paper is a brief summary of a more comprehensive study of the literature en Production Management. This in turn was written with the purpose of preparing for a four-year research project in which experiments with new organizational solutions are managed by a group of people who are all affected by the changes.

摘要:

Most of the comparative organizational research on product innovation has focused on external sources of ideas. In particular, there has been a great interest in the efficiency of the journal as a method of transfer of technology. From recent studies engineers and technologists appear to be prone neither to read nor use scientific journals and not even engineering or technical journals are entirely accepted as sources of ideas. In accordance with this, we ask the question; What kind of internal structure and process docs it take, to use the knowledge available to anyone as a source of idease for new productsν The major hypothesis confirmed in this comparative study of 31 factories in two quite different industries (foor and electronics) is; The more channels of communication between bottom and top, and the wider the band of communication, the more innovative the output of the organization. Furthermore the influence of the degree of centralization and the number of foreign journal subscriptions upon innovative behaviour are evaluated

摘要:

This paper identifies the need for a technique which can assess whether a functional or n group cell system of production is most appropriate in a specific case as well as develop the appropriate system. The paper describes the technique of numerical taxonomy and shows how it may be applied to both group technology and plant layout. A computer programme for production flow analysis is presented. The component-machine matrix method of production flow analysis, as presented by Burbridge, is shown to be of limited value in practical cases and an improved method is proposed. The use of numerical taxonomy in developing functional-type layout is also described.
