An information system for one-of-a-kind production

An efficient heuristic for adaptive production scheduling and control in one-of-a-kind production

“…For initial job selection scheme, five 1 Â S vectors are introduced as follows: Take an n-job 4-stage production problem as an example. Vector_1 should be [0,0,0,0], if Vector_3¼ [4,6,8,10], and Vector_5¼ [10,12,16,20], then Vector_2¼ [2,3,4,5] and Vector_5¼ [7,9,12,15].…”

“…Moreover, unexpected disturbances frequently and randomly happen to affect the daily production on OKP shop floors, such as job insertion/cancellation, machine breakdown/ operator absence, and variations in processing times. Thus, OKP companies use mixed-product production on a flow line to improve production efficiency [3,4], and they have to adaptively schedule and control production online.…”

Sustainable value creation through new industrial supply chains in apparel and fashion

“…This results in inaccuracy in such digital supply chains which in turn increases the production and product costs. Critical in such context, is complete digital integration (end-to-end) through integrated product design structure and production routings [15,16]. Such end-to-end information transfer largely depends upon the existence of a computerized manufacturing environment and determines the success of a digital supply chains for customized products [16], by enhancing various aspects such as traceability, transparency, trust and security.…”

CUSTOMER INVOLVEMENT AND PRODUCT CONFIGURATORS IN SMEs OKP WITH THE DOMINANT VARIATION OF THE TOPOLOGY

“…Although the OKP has been considered a promising approach to meet today's market demands, it also faces many challenges due to the large variations of OKP products. Three types of product variations, configuration variations, parameter variations and topology variations, are considered in the modelling of OKP products and the identification of the optimal product based on customer requirements [10], [11].…”
