Zammori, Giovanni Romagnoli","doi":"10.1109/IESM.2015.7380182","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IESM.2015.7380182","url":null,"abstract":"Wastes identification and removing has become a key issue to achieve competitiveness and to survive in the modern manufacturing environment. In order to achieve this goal, several manufacturing paradigms have been proposed. Amongst these paradigms, lean production has increased its importance, and it is now recognized as the most influential one. The concept of lean is based on the dichotomy of value and wastes, and its main goal is to meet customer's expectations in a better way, by focusing on a continuous waste elimination process. Although Lean originated in Low-Variety-High-Volume manufacturing companies, it has been frequently applied also in other contexts, especially in the non-Make-To-Stock sector, where its application is particularly challenging. Indeed, those manufacturing environments are characterized by a high level of variability, and their performances depend on several interrelated parameters. Within this context, it is widely recognised that no “fool proof” way is available for implementing lean principles, because they must be properly reinterpreted to fit the specific requirements of the industry where they need to be applied. Generally speaking, the non-MTS sector can be broadly parted in two clusters: (i) Make-To-Order companies, where most or all operations to manufacture an end item are only performed after a customer order has been received and (ii) Engineer-To-Order companies, where products are manufactured to meet a specific customer's needs and require unique engineering, or at least a significant and specific customisation. Within both these clusters, several lean tools can be applied.","PeriodicalId":308675,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Systems Management (IESM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125457476","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}

According to the continuously growing market, much more material handling equipments exist. Therefore, more complete new classifications of individual unit load material handling equipment types and attributes are provided. Equipment categories, classes and types are clarified.

Once defined the smart port concept, we search the data and information available in public resources about the main Mediterranean containers ports to try to describe their current situation regarding the smart-port concept. We found a significant lack of published data. Available data are often detected with different unit of measure, based on different time-scales and frequencies. The port authorities generally don't have a clear, exhaustive and updated overview of key performance indicators' data, with the exception of the operational KPIs. These aspects make difficult the results' comparison and require an ad hoc elaboration.","PeriodicalId":308675,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Systems Management (IESM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126964007","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}

As economic activities and environmental pressures increase, the volume of product reverse flows are more and more important and costly. In this context, we propose an optimization method to minimize cost in disassembly planning with lot sizing and lost sales. Comparing to others lot sizing problems with lost sales, this problem has some specificities that required original optimization methods. To this end, we proposed a metaheuristic based on genetic algorithm scheme that integrates some neighborhoods dedicated to this problem. The quality of the solutions is compared with those obtained from a mathematical programming solver for small instances and different configurations of the algorithm are compared. The metaheuristic allows finding good solutions in a reasonable computational time for this tactical problem for all instance sizes.","PeriodicalId":308675,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Systems Management (IESM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123611483","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}

Pharmaceutical firms in particular perform in a market that is characterized by highly fluctuating demands and are often asked to expand their capacity to meet their requirements. Having the choice of either investing in new human/infrastructure resources or outsourcing to an external logistics service provider, many firms consider logistics outsourcing (LO) with the expectation of lowering costs and/or attaining higher level of service performance. This study contributes to the literature by developing a theoretical framework to consider the option of outsourcing logistics in the pharmaceutical products supply chain (PPSC).

Findings indicate that company size has no influence on operational performance outcomes. Also we found that lean manufacturing and six sigma practices such as DMAIC, Kaizen team, Visual Control, SMED, 5S, etc. support to increases companies performance. Investigation results indicate that an increase in the number of years in terms of implementing lean manufacturing and/or six sigma, corresponds with an increase in financial and operational performance. The results also of this study specifically revealed that use six sigma in all departments supportive of improving quality; whereas companies that implemented lean manufacturing in all departments created a safe environment and improved employee involvement within the organization. Moreover, findings illustrate that the use of a belt system supported the improvement in quality, reduced costs and reduced variation.

The system is submitted to periodic inspections to assess the generated environmental damage. In case an inspection reveals that the environmental degradation level has exceeded a critical level, the system is considered in a failed state and will have generated significant environmental damage. It is stopped during a certain time necessary to perform a corrective maintenance (CM) action and to eventually clean the environment. In order to prevent such an undesirable situation, a lower threshold level is considered to trigger a preventive maintenance (PM) action which takes less time than the corrective one. A mathematical model and a numerical procedure are developed to determine simultaneously the PM threshold level and the inspection period which maximize the stationary availability of the system. Numerical calculations are performed to illustrate the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":308675,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Systems Management (IESM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123372846","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}
