Book Synopsis Optimization of a Real Time Multi Mixed Make-to-order Assembly Line to Reduce Positive Drift by : Rangith Baby Kuriakose
Download or read book Optimization of a Real Time Multi Mixed Make-to-order Assembly Line to Reduce Positive Drift written by Rangith Baby Kuriakose and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assembly lines are critical for the realization of product manufacture. In recent times, there has been a shift from the make-to-stock (mass production) approach to a make-to-order (mass customization) approach and this has brought on a strong emphasis on product variety. Although variety can be included to a product at various phases of production, literature shows that by providing each functional module of the product with several variants, assembly lines provide the most cost-effective approach to achieve high product variety. However, there are certain challenges associated with using assembly lines to achieve product variety. One of these challenges is assembly line balancing. Assembly line balancing is the search for an optimum assignment of tasks, such that given precedence constraints according to pre-defined single or multi objective goal are met. These objectives include reducing the number of stations for a given cycle time or minimizing the cycle time for a given number of stations. Cycle time refers to the amount of time allotted to accomplish a certain process in an assembly process. This deviation from the optimal cycle time is technically referred to as drift. Drift can be negative or positive. Negative drift represents the time span during which an assembly line is idle, due to work being finished ahead of prescribed cycle time. Positive drift, meanwhile, represents time span in which an assembly line exceeds the prescribed cycle time. The problems caused by drift, especially positive drift, is so vast that there is a research niche are dedicated to this study called Assembly Line Balancing Problems. Various authors have proposed numerous solutions for solving assembly line balancing problems created by positive drift. However, there is very little information on optimizing multi model make-to order systems with real time inputs so as to reduce the effects of positive drift. This study looks at how such a system can be optimized by using the case study of a water bottling plant. This is done by initially looking at the literature in the field of assembly line balancing to isolate the research gap this study aims to fill. Secondly, the water bottling plant, described as the case study, is modelled using MATLAB/Simulink. Thirdly, the different optimization methodologies are discussed and applied to the created model. Finally, the optimized model is tested and the results are analysed. The results of this study show that positive drift, which can be a major challenge in a real time multi mixed assembly line, can be reduced by the optimization of assembly lines. The results of this study can also be seen as an addition to the knowledge base of the broader research on mixed model assembly line balancing.
Book Synopsis Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences by : Wade H. Shafer
Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Synopsis Assembly-Line Balancing under Demand Uncertainty by : Celso Gustavo Stall Sikora
Download or read book Assembly-Line Balancing under Demand Uncertainty written by Celso Gustavo Stall Sikora and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assembly lines are productive systems, which are very efficient for homogeneous products. In the automotive industry, an assembly line is used in the production of several vehicle variants, including numerous configurations, options, and add-ins. As a result, assembly lines must be at the same time specialized to provide high efficiency, but also flexible to allow the mass customization of the vehicles. In this book, the planning of assembly lines for uncertain demand is tackled and optimization algorithms are offered for the balancing of such lines. Building an assembly line is a commitment of several months or even years, it is understandable that the demand will fluctuate during the lifetime of an assembly line. New products are developed, others are removed from the market, and the decision of the final customer plays a role on the immediate demand. Therefore, the variation and uncertainty of the demand must be accounted for in an assembly line. In this book, methods dealing with random demand or random production sequence are presented, so that the practitioners can plan more robust and efficient production systems.

Download or read book Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems written by Carlos A. Coello Coello and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The solving of multi-objective problems (MOPs) has been a continuing effort by humans in many diverse areas, including computer science, engineering, economics, finance, industry, physics, chemistry, and ecology, among others. Many powerful and deterministic and stochastic techniques for solving these large dimensional optimization problems have risen out of operations research, decision science, engineering, computer science and other related disciplines. The explosion in computing power continues to arouse extraordinary interest in stochastic search algorithms that require high computational speed and very large memories. A generic stochastic approach is that of evolutionary algorithms (EA). Such algorithms have been demonstrated to be very powerful and generally applicable for solving different single objective problems. Their fundamental algorithmic structures can also be applied to solving many multi-objective problems. In this book, the various features of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are presented in an innovative and unique fashion, with detailed customized forms suggested for a variety of applications. Also, extensive MOEA discussion questions and possible research directions are presented at the end of each chapter.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The single model assembly line is a traditional type of assembly line, which assembles only one product in a large quantity. On the other hand, the mixed model assembly line assembles different models of a product simultaneously. Therefore, it gives a chance to companies to retain the market by satisfying various demands of customers. Because of this advantage, companies are motivated to change their assembly line from the single model to the mixed model. Balancing and sequencing problems are two important challenges in the mixed model assembly line. There are a large number of studies that have focused on balancing and sequencing problems separately. However, in this thesis, we study balancing and sequencing problems of the mixed model assembly line simultaneously. A mixed integer linear programming model is proposed to solve these problems simultaneously when the assembly line has the continuous motion and when common tasks between different models of a product can be assigned to different workstations. Objectives in this thesis are minimizing the length of workstations, minimizing the stations cost, and minimizing the tasks duplication cost. A branch and bound algorithm is exploited to solve the model. Following that, the proposed model is extended to show that it can satisfy the assembly line with the synchronous configuration. At the next step, a hybrid genetic algorithm, which is a combination of the genetic algorithm and linear programming algorithm, is employed to solve the proposed model for large size problems. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show how the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm solves the proposed model effectively.

Book Synopsis Assembly Line Balancing under Uncertain Task Time and Demand Volatility by : Yuchen Li
Download or read book Assembly Line Balancing under Uncertain Task Time and Demand Volatility written by Yuchen Li and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces several mathematical models in assembly line balancing based on stochastic programming and develops exact and heuristic methods to solve them. An assembly line system is a manufacturing process in which parts are added in sequence from workstation to workstation until the final assembly is produced. In an assembly line balancing problem, tasks belonging to different product models are allocated to workstations according to their processing times and precedence relationships among tasks. It incorporates two features, uncertain task times, and demand volatility, separately and simultaneously, into the conventional assembly line balancing model. A real-life case study related to the mask production during the COVID-19 pandemic is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed framework and methodology. The book is intended for graduate students who are interested in combinatorial optimizations in manufacturing with uncertain input.
