The increasing customization of products, which leads to greater variances and smaller lot
sizes, requires highly flexible manufacturing systems. These systems are subject to dynamic …

The increasing customisation of products, which leads to higher numbers of product variants
with smaller lot sizes, requires a high flexibility of manufacturing systems. These systems are …

Due to the increasing complexity of contemporary production scheduling problems, it is
generally not possible to calculate nearly optimal production schedules in an acceptable …

This paper introduces a practical approach for the comprehensive simulation based
planning and optimization of the production and logistics of a discrete goods manufacturer …

Digitalization allows for production control based on the current state of the manufacturing
system. Thereof, this paper proposes and applies a data-driven adaptive planning and …

Complex manufacturing systems, such as wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs), are
characterized by a diverse product mix that is changing over time, re-entrant process flows …

In the last years, the increase of data availability together with enhanced computation
capabilities empowered researchers to conceive production planning and control methods …

In this paper we present a closed loop operations scheduling and control design for a
flexible manufacturing system. The closed loop system consists of a simulated annealing …

This paper describes the development of a simulation model for production planning
personnel to carry out optimization of part input sequence. The model simulates a flexible …

This paper describes a flexible simulation technique which facilitates automated
experimentation of different scheduling rules. An enhanced version of Arena/SIMAN is used …
