Real-world systems, such as manufacturing or computer systems, can be modeled as
multistate network (MSN) consisting of arcs with stochastic capacity. Network reliability for an …

Delivery process is a critical issue from the viewpoint of supply chain management.
However, in the delivery process, deterioration would occur because of natural disasters (eg …

The core function of the manufacturing system is to output high-quality products at a stable
production rhythm. However, there are complex interactions between physical and …

For a hybrid flow-shop (HFS), the number of machines in a stage presents multiple levels
because of maintenance, partial failures, unexpected failures, etc. In other words, it is …

In fields such as integrated circuit packaging, printed circuit boards (PCB), and textile
fabrication, flexible flow shops (FFSs) are common manufacturing systems and have been …

Production network performance and reliability are essential to satisfy customer orders in a
timely manner. This paper proposes a statistical method for a production system to satisfy …
