However, there are some problems in the process of manufacturing capacity sharing, such as information privacy and security, and difficulty in tracing the sharing process, etc. The application of blockchain technology can effectively solve these problems. To explore the capacity sharing behaviour of manufacturing enterprises from the perspective of blockchain, the article combines evolutionary game theory and constructs a tripartite game model of manufacturing capacity sharing. The replication dynamics and evolutionary stability of the model are analysed using evolutionary game theory, and numerical simulations are carried out using MATLAB software to analyse the impact of parameter changes on the evolutionary outcome. The research results show that the incentive and penalty coefficients under blockchain technology have a facilitating effect on enterprises to carry out sharing, and the enhancement of reputation gain coefficient and loss can promote positive services on the platform.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139356303","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}

These manufacturing systems involve the most complex processes, which are strictly controlled and constrained to manufacture high-quality products and satisfy dynamic customer orders. Further, queue times between consecutive stages are limited. Given that the queue times are limited, jobs must begin the next step within the maximum queue time after the jobs in the previous step are completed. In the considered flow shop, several jobs can skip the first step, referred to as skipping jobs. Skipping jobs exist because of multiple types of products processed in the same flow shop. For the considered flow shop, this paper proposes a mathematical programming formulation and a genetic algorithm to minimize the makespan. The GA demonstrated its strengths through comprehensive computational experiments, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency. As the problem size increased, the GA's performance improved noticeably, while maintaining acceptable computation times for real-world fab facilities. We also validated its performance in various scenarios involving queue time limits and skipping jobs, to further emphasize its capabilities.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139356298","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 of these techniques consider the development of operative and predictive models. The difficulty in developing project planning models relies on estimating large sets of parameters and the need to include model sections of poorly identifiable, that increase costs and time. This work develops a hybrid forecasting model for all the phases that make up die-casting projects through a series of parameters and sub-models that contemplate the particularities of each case, thereby achieving greater precision in the forecast. The model identifies the cost and time factors that affect project planning, specifically in the die-casting industry, and intends to predict their future behaviour when certain initially given conditions are modified. To estimate the parameters of the hybrid model, several factors in the processes were considered that interact in this industry, such as primary matter costs and activities associated to the process. The considered processes that have a substantial economic impact on the implementation of the project were selected. The criteria for this selection considered identifying the relevant parts of the design and manufacturing in the die-casting industry. Process factors such as the Cost of aluminium and its related activities, whose processes will be grouped into cost and time entities to build a set of metrics that allow better control over them. Finally, the proposed model is based on analytical, parametric, and analog methods that achieve accuracy greater than 85 % in predicting the time and Cost of the process.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139356286","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}

Considering the structures of business systems in transitional and EU countries, a question has arisen as to whether it is possible to apply the Lean concept to small and medium-sized enterprises, as these account for more than 99 % of all business systems. The research which was conducted with the goal of designing a suitable model for the implementation of the Lean concept in small to medium-sized enterprises was based on an analysis of the essential elements of this concept. This article presents part of the conducted research that refers to analysis of losses and identification of the dominant losses according to the opinions of real sector experts and scientists from the academic community.

The model optimizes vehicle usage costs, transportation costs, penalty costs for failing to meet time windows, and carbon emission costs, while also considering the impact of urban road traffic congestion on total costs. To solve the model, a DPSO (Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm based on the basic principle of PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is proposed. The DPSO introduces multiple populations to handle multiple targets and uses a variable neighbourhood search strategy to improve the search ability of particles, which helps to improve the local search ability of the algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in avoiding traffic congestion, reducing carbon emissions costs, and time penalty costs. The optimization comparison results between DPSO and PSO also verify the superiority of the DPSO algorithm. The proposed model can be applied to real-world urban logistics networks to improve their efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139356284","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}

This is particularly challenging in labour-intensive industries, which is characterized by highly volatile customer demand and significant daily variability of available workers. The Uncertainty related to the key production parameters in the industry is causing disruptions in long-term production planning and optimization, which leads to the long lead production times, operational risks and accumulation of inventory. To address these challenges, production systems need to ensure adequate operational production planning and optimization of all variables that are influencing the productivity of their systems on a daily basis. To tackle the problem, this study elaborates the application of discrete event simulations and genetic algorithm, using the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software, to support decision-making and operational production planning and optimization in the industry. The simulation model developed for this purpose considers: customers demand changes, variable production times, operationally available resources and production batch size, to provide an optimal production sequence with the highest number of produced pieces and the lowest total work in process (WIP) inventory per day. To demonstrate the efficiency of the methodology and prove the benefits of the selected optimization approach, a case study is conducted in the textile factory.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139356432","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}

RMS enables producers to meet varying volumes of demand over varying time periods by swiftly adjusting its production capacity and functionality within a part family in response to abrupt market changes. In these circumstances, RMS are made to swiftly reconfigure their Reconfigurable Machine Tools (RMTs). RMTs are designed to have a variety of configurations that may be conditionally chosen and reconfigured in accordance with specific performance goals. However, the reconfiguration process is not an easy process, which entails optimization of several objectives and many of which are inherently conflictual. As a result, it necessitates real-time monitoring of the RMS's condition, which may be achieved by digital twinning, or the real-time capture of system data. The concept of using a digital replica of a physical system to provide real-time optimization is known as digital twin. This work considered a case study of discrete parts manufacturing on a reconfigurable single manufacturing transfer line (SMTL). Six manufacturing operations are required to be performed on the parts at six production stages. This work uses the Digital Twin (DT) based approach to assist a discrete multi-objective optimization problem for a reconfigurable manufacturing transfer line. This multi-objective optimization problem consists of four objective functions which is illustrated by using DT-based Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). The innovative aspect of the current study is the use of a DT-based framework for RMS reconfiguration to produce the best optimum solutions. The produced real-time solutions will be of great assistance to the decision maker in selecting the appropriate real-time optimal solutions for reconfigurable manufacturing transfer lines.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134366874","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}

Secondly, the \"As is\" scenario analysis and a screening process are performed to extract significant input parameters as well as sensitive outputs of the model. The final step optimizes the performance of PSC. The proposed approach validity is appraised by being applied to the PSC of a leading pharmaceutical company in Jordan.

This study combines lean manufacturing and six sigma techniques to form a technique called Lean Six Sigma (LSS) by using the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analysis-Improve-Control) model. This study proposes to use statistical test models to analyze real data collected directly from the operator. The study proposes to use the Taguchi optimization technique to determine the optimal conditions for oil dipping tanks of molybdenum materials. In addition, the study also proposes a computer vision technique to recognize objects using color recognition techniques running on the LABVIEW software platform. This study builds a digital numerical control (DNC) model operating on digital signal processing techniques, linking the data of each process together. The results reduced the rate of defective parts in the whole processing stage from 6.5 % to zero defects, the whole processing line production capacity increased by 7.9 %, and the profit of the whole production line was USD 35762 per year. As a valuable external outcome, the conclusion of the LSS project fostered a spirit of continuous improvement. The utilization of research results from the research environment in the actual production setting is significantly enhanced for the operator. The LSS model is deployed with specific tasks and targets for each member of the LSS project team, and the processing conditions for each specific stage are optimized, such as the oil dipping process and hole grinding process. Industry 4.0 techniques, including computer vision, digital numerical control, and commercial software such as LabVIEW and MINITAB, are optimized for use, simplifying machining operations. Some proposed directions for future research are also presented in detail. For example, studying the improvement of the quality of the 220 V power supply through harmonic mitigation in processing factories is an intriguing area of investigation. Additionally, exploring data security for big data in the context of Industry 4.0 would be a valuable study to enhance customer satisfaction with big data technology in the future.","PeriodicalId":445710,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Production Engineering & Management","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124307605","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}
