Most of existing data-driven fault diagnosis approaches are designed in the framework of supervised learning, which requires a large number of labelled samples. In this paper, a novel self-training semi-supervised deep learning (SSDL) approach is proposed to train a fault diagnosis model together with few labelled and abundant unlabelled samples. The addressed SSDL approach is realised by initialising a stacked sparse auto-encoder classifier using the labelled samples, and subsequently updating the classifier via sampling a few candidates with most reliable pseudo labels from the unlabelled samples step by step. Unlike the commonly used static sampling strategy in existing self-training semi-supervised frameworks, a gradually exploiting mechanism is proposed in SSDL to increase the number of selected pseudo-labelled candidates gradually. In addition, instead of using the prediction accuracy as the confidence estimation for pseudo-labels, a distance-based sampling criterion is designed to assign the label for each unlabelled sample by its nearest labelled sample based on their Euclidean distances in the deep feature space. The experimental results show that the proposed SSDL approach can achieve good prediction accuracy compared to other self-training semi-supervised learning algorithms.","PeriodicalId":14307,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Research","volume":"61 6","pages":"8238 - 8251"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138606706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as critical activities in the remanufacturing field, assembly and disassembly share many similarities, such as working tools and processing sequence. Thus, this paper proposes a multi-objective hybrid production line balancing problem with a fixed number of workstations (HPLBP-FNW) considering disassembly and assembly to optimise cycle time, total cost, and workload smoothness simultaneously. And a novel Pareto-based hybrid genetic simulated annealing algorithm (PB-HGSA) is designed to solve it. In PB-HGSA, the two-point crossover and hybrid mutation operator are proposed to produce potential non-dominated solutions (NDSs). Then, a local search method based on a parallel simulated annealing algorithm is designed for providing a depth search around the NDSs to balance the global and local search ability. Numerical results by comparing PB-HGSA with the well-known algorithms verify the effectiveness of PB-HGSA in solving HPLBP-FNW. Moreover, the managerial insights based on a case study are given to inspire enterprise companies to consider hybrid production line in the remanufacturing process, which is beneficial to reduce the cycle time and total cost and improve the service life of the equipment.KEYWORDS: Hybrid production line balancingdisassembly and assemblycycle timeworkload smoothnesshybrid genetic simulated annealing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData will be made available on request.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Project (No. 51705386) and by China Scholarship Council (No. 201606955091).Notes on contributorsXiang SunXiang Sun received the B.Eng degree from Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China, in 2018.

This problem mainly differs from the classical cutting stock problems in the stock, which is considered variable-sized, i.e. we have to decide the panel dimensions, width, and length. This approach is helpful in industries where the stock is produced simultaneously with the cutting process. The stock is then cut into smaller rectangular pieces that must meet the customers' requirements, such as the type of item, dimensions, demands, and technical specifications. Furthermore, in the problem tackled in this paper, the cuts are guillotine, performed side to side. The proposed mathematical models are validated using real data from the company, obtaining results that drastically reduce the produced material and leftovers, reducing operation times and economic costs.Keywords: Cutting stock problem2-dimensional cuttingvariable-sized stockmixed integer linear optimisationcardboard industry AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the company managers for providing us with real data and for giving us insight into the company's current operation.Data availability statementDue to the nature of the research, due to commercial supporting not all data is available.

Traditional digital twin (DT) systems, however, face limitations in interoperability, knowledge sharing, and causal inference. As such, cognitive digital twins (CDTs) can add value by managing a collaborative web of interconnected systems, facilitating advanced cross-domain analysis and dynamic context considerations. This paper introduces a CDT system that leverages industrial knowledge graphs (iKGs) to support maintenance planning and operations. By employing a design structure matrix (DSM) to model dependencies and relationships, a semantic translation approach maps the knowledge into a graph-based representation for reasoning and analysis. An automatic solution generation mechanism, utilising graph sequencing with Louvain and PageRank algorithms, derives feasible solutions, which can be validated via simulation to minimise production disruption impacts. The CDT system can also identify potential disruptions in new product designs, thus enabling preventive actions to be taken. A case study featuring a print production manufacturing line illustrates the CDT system's capabilities in causal inference and solution explainability. The study concludes with a discussion of limitations and future directions, providing valuable guidelines for manufacturers aiming to enhance reactive and predictive maintenance strategies.KEYWORDS: Cognitive digital twinsindustrial knowledge graphscausal inferencesemantic modellingquality assurancemaintenance AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the professional advice of Teo Man Ru and Tiong Je Min from Tetra Pak Jurong Pte Ltd.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData is not available due to commercial restrictions.

Owing to the high global demand for ventilators and other medical equipment, many Indian nonmedical equipment companies have risen to meet this demand. This unexpected demand for ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic, similar to that for other EOL electronic medical devices, has become a severe problem for the nation. Consequently, the healthcare industry must efficiently handle EOL ventilators, which can be outsourced to 3PRLPs. 3PRLPs play a vital role in a company’s reverse logistics activities. This study emphasises the 3PRLP selection process as a complex decision-making problem and the optimisation of order allocation to qualified 3PRLPs. As a result, this study proposes a two-phase hybrid decision-making problem. First phase combines the two multi-attribute decision-making methods to select 3PRLPs based on their assessed SPS and Second phase, the evaluated SPS was utilised as one of the objectives of a multi-objective linear programming model to allocate orders to the selected 3PRLPs. To solve the proposed model, both classical and modern approaches were used. The results show that the proposed framework can be successfully implemented in the current scenario of the healthcare industry.KEYWORDS: Reverse logisticswaste recyclingmulti-objective programmingorder allocationhealthcare industry Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability StatementThe data supporting this study’s findings are available on request from the corresponding author.Notes1 Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1067081/generation-electronic-waste-globally-forecast/2 Source: https://theroundup.org/global-e-waste-statistics/.3 Source: https://www.deccanherald.com/business/covid-19-automakers-medical-device-makers-join-hands-to-produce-ventilators-819878.html.4 Source: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/covid-19-ventilator-shortage-manufacturing-solution/5 Source: https://straitsresearch.com/report/ventilators-market6 Source:https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/did-ventilators-from-pm-cares-fund-fail-or-states-failed-to-manage-them-1803473-2021-05-17Additional informationNotes on contributorsMeenu SinghDr. Meenu Singh received a Ph.D. in operations research and decision science from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India, in 2022.

In response, several supply chain organisations are integrating CE strategies into their business operations and production processes. Despite these developments and since the introduction of Business Charter for Sustainable Development by the International Chamber of Commerce in 1991, the academic corpus comprehensively connecting CE research themes, catalysts, deterrents, practices with the SDGs has remained limited. To bridge this gap, we present a systematic literature review (SLR) of CE research in operations, supply chain and production management encompassing a time span of 31 years (January 1991 – June 2022), by sourcing, screening, and analysing articles obtained from multiple research databases. Our thematic coding analysis generated ten research themes, and subsequently linking them with relevant SDGs. Additionally, we interweaved CE catalysts and deterrents, establishing a connection with the SDGs. This is further enriched with CE strategies aimed at equipping business practitioners to enhance sustainable business performance and contributing to specific SDGs. Lastly, we delineate CE knowledge data management and priority actions frameworks to aid organisations to enhance employee capability and actively leverage digital technologies for implementing CE strategies.KEYWORDS: Circular economySystematic literature reviewThematic evolutionGreen and responsible supply chain managementSustainability development goalsSustainable business performance Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

To produce high quality solutions, an adaptive search process with employed bee phase and adaptive search step is implemented. Adaptive search step, which may be onlooker bee phase or cooperation or empty, is decided by evolution quality and an adaptive threshold. Cooperation is performed between the improved solutions of one employed bee swarm and the unimproved solutions of another swarm. Six search operators are constructed and search operator is adaptively adjusted. A new scout phase is also given. A lower bound is provided and proved. Extensive experiments are conducted.
