Planning and scheduling production systems from a logistics perspective

Abstract

Production systems are special performance systems which generate physical goods from input material. Therefore, the methods of system analysis, the limit performance and queuing laws and the strategies, which have been developed for general performance systems such as logistics systems, can be applied to production systems. This article describes strategies and standard procedures for production planning and scheduling, which result from the logistic approach.

Supply chain collaboration: A state-of-the-art literature review

“…Working together for gaining common objective is a successful factor (Lumsden & Brewster 2003). In this globally competitive environment (Gudehus & Kotzab 2009), the competitive edge becomes the success factor (Laseter & Gillis 2012;Zhang & Cao 2011;Walker et al, 2000). Firms have concentrated more on increasing the overall profit supply chain rather than the individual partner, therefore main competitive edge is the competition in the supply chain (Gadde et al, 2010).…”

“…Firms have concentrated more on increasing the overall profit supply chain rather than the individual partner, therefore main competitive edge is the competition in the supply chain (Gadde et al, 2010). However, an appropriate observation of the meaning of collaboration for whole supply chain members is still a challenge (Fawcett & Desanto-Madeya, 2012;Kotzab et al, 2009;Soni & Kodali 2012). Therefore, by reviewing the literature on SC collaboration, the study of collaboration in the supply chain is still under research, and in isolation collaboration in the SC is impossible.…”

Study on grafting informationization onto advanced railway traffic equipment manufacturing quality management

“…Meanwhile, it can make the industrial structure to upgrade and update and urge the style of economic increase urge to change from Production unit should take aberrance coefficient of inspecting quality target as the estimate target [6]. They should build allowed limited value for every construction quality target aberrance coefficient.…”

Agent-based decision-making process in airport ground handling management

“…This work presents a DSS software framework based on the customization of the manufacturing control to schedule the GH operations. There are manufacturing concepts like lean strategies, holon, and/or agent-based control [11], product scheduling [12], business to manufacturing (B2M) [13], environmental alignment [14], or distributed control techniques that can be applied to other areas such as shop floor scheduling or asset management. Especially, the manufacturing control and its product schedule can align the shop floor decisions on GH by using the global company policy because of its central position [3] (Fig.…”
