In this study, a goal programming techniques used to estimate the optimum stock level of different tree species considering economics, environmental and social issues. We consider multiple objectives in the process of decision making to realize the balance of maximizing annual growth, net present value, carbon sequestration and labor. We use regression analysis to develop a forest growth model using allometric functions for the quantification of carbon budget. The expected mean price was estimated to determine the net present value of forest harvesting. We use Expert knowledge to weight the goals in order to generate the optimal stock level. Results show that the total optimum stock is 0.5%lower than based on questioners. The results indicate that goal programming is a suitable methodology in this case.","PeriodicalId":119238,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123902727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefor the shear-thinning behavior which characterizes many types of adhesives is integrated into the Implicit Incompressible Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamix (IISPH) approach, which is ideally suited for free surface flow scenarios through its mesh-less characteristics. While these particle-based methods are already being used in the real-time simulation of Newtonian fluids in computer graphics, their applicability in engineering disciplines and simulation of complex fluid flows still has to be tested. The Carreau model has already been validated experimentally for accurately portraying the shear-thinning behavior of adhesives. In this work the Carreau model is integrated into the IISPH solver and the simulation results are compared to an analytical solution of the Poiseuille pipe flow. This approach can then be applied to lower the uncertainty in the early phase of manufacturing planning and for simulation-based optimization approaches involving rheological flow behavior.","PeriodicalId":119238,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124247447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliability levels of several critical low demand systems were observed to be high on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) over the last 15 years [1]. In general terms, there is a lack of confidence in whether the functionality of a low demand system can be initiated and how well the system can perform upon a real demand. This paper studies such challenges and suggests the application of prognostics and health management (PHM) to evaluate the function test interval instead of remaining useful lifetime. The value of condition data is justified and reflected in the estimation of failure rate and function test interval. The application of PHM to low demand systems can help enhance a company’s confidence in system availability and operational reliability and its adherence to a predictive maintenance practice.","PeriodicalId":119238,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116217941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the modular product platform approach is increasingly gaining the focus of many industries in order to enable standardization and high level of product individuality at the same time. Especially in the development of new mechatronic products the fulfillment of product functions is realized in mechanics, electronics and software. Therefore, this paper presents a methodology for an increased efficiency of modular product platforms for mechatronic systems. In the first partial model, mechatronic systems are decomposed into individual mechatronic function modules. Subsequently, a classification for degrees of freedom in mechatronic systems is developed. In the third partial model, interactions of the specific degrees of freedom with regard to function fulfilment, costs and interdependencies are examined and represented by key figures. The restriction of systemic degrees of freedom is realized by means of a change propagation algorithm. In a final step, the overall system, consisting of individual mechatronic function modules, can be configured.","PeriodicalId":119238,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116513318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, we present a workshop-based approach, which uses input generated by structural analysis of modeled tailoring decisions.

With the development of economic globalization and information technology, the increasing network complexity and dynamic information have brought challenges to generate data-driven defense strategies for an infrastructure network against multiple interdictions. In order to optimize the defense strategy dynamically, we develop a data-driven finite Bayesian Stackelberg game model among a defender and multiple interdictors. In this model, the defender, with incomplete information on the interdictors’ risk attitude and objective weight, initiates to improve the network performance in the most cost-effective way; whereas the interdictor, with incomplete information on the valuation of components and effectiveness ratio, follows to destroy the network structure in the most cost-effective way. Over the dynamic interactions among the defender and multiple interdictors, the interdictor’s knowledge of the effectiveness ratio is updated by Bayesian updating rule. In order to solve the proposed model, smallest-depth binary-partition based hierarchical algorithm is developed to obtain the strong Stackelberg equilibrium. Finally, the practical applicability is demonstrated by a case study of Zhi Jiang network.","PeriodicalId":119238,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM)","volume":"20 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113979036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
