The GA and simulation models operate in parallel over time with interactions. The case study's objective is to determine a fixed optimal lot size for each manufactured product type that will ensure order mean flow time target for each finished product. The comparative results with OptQuest software, which is used a global search method, to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":269509,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Advanced Logistics and Transport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129372989","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, we conduct a study of a flexible manufacturing system which has a set of Automated Guided Vehicles system (AGVs) in order to define the levels of the most influential factors on the behavior of our system. Ever since, we perform scenarios of experiments that focus on the variation in the number of trucks circulated in the system and the management policy adopted carriages while taking into account the law of product arrival. A simulation tool SIMAN/ARENA has allowed us to analyze the behavior of the system and achieve suitable results that show the impact of proper choice of parameters on the system performance.","PeriodicalId":269509,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Advanced Logistics and Transport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130320534","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}

Most important problem in the scrap tire recycling program is type of product recovery options because there are few specific data available. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was used to assess options in reverse logistics for waste tire. MCDA is a widely used decision methodology that considers conflicting systems of criteria. However, many real-world decision problems involve ambiguity and imprecise information. In this study, the analysis has been undertaken using an extended version of MACBETH methodology to take into account the imprecise and linguistic assessments provided by a decision-maker by integrating the 2-tuple model dealing with non-homogeneous information data. The proposed fuzzy MACBETH method has been applied to a real case related to the automobile tire waste to elucidate its details.","PeriodicalId":269509,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Advanced Logistics and Transport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121576081","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}

The evaluation related techniques are so various which makes the choice of the appropriate one difficult for the evaluator. Each technique can be defined by its specificities and its particular aspects. However, several works recommend the use of more than one evaluation technique to obtain better evaluation results and cover larger specter of inspected aspects in the evaluation process. In this paper, we suggest combining between three different techniques for user interface evaluation. These techniques are exploited through an evaluation framework. The proposed framework is based on the questionnaire, the electronic informer and the ergonomic quality inspection as complementary evaluation techniques. Then, the evaluation process presented by the proposed evaluation framework covers the user interface information display to the user, the analysis of the interaction between the user interface interaction and the user satisfaction about the evaluated user interface. The proposed evaluation deducts then a broad outfit of utility and usability problems in the evaluated interface.","PeriodicalId":269509,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Advanced Logistics and Transport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115665437","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}
