In most of the multi-stage manufacturing processes, multiple equipment are operated to minimize the waiting times between stages.
The examined problem tackles the multi-stage manufacturing network design for single customised products, through satisfaction of multiple objectives.
This article presents an integrated control chart system for monitoring process shifts in mean and variance in a multi-stage manufacturing system.
Decision making in the design and operation of advanced multi-stage manufacturing systems is more and more supported by digital manufacturing tools.
We have simulated a hypothetical multi-stage manufacturing system that is run under either push or pull control systems to measure the effects of these systems on the financial performance of the company.
On the basis of these test results, two multi-stage manufacturing processes were designed by a knowledge-based expert system in order to develop a high-strength bolt using either the upsetting mode or the extrusion mode for the second preform.
In this paper, we define production loss (PL), throughput settling time (TST), and total underproduction time (TUT) as three metrics to measure system resilience, and use these measures to assist the design of multi-stage reconfigurable manufacturing systems.
A multi stage sampling technique was employed.
A multi stage cluster sampling was applied.
This paper presents an integrated approach to solve the partner selection, and production distribution planning problem in the design of manufacturing chains operating under a multi-product, multi-stage, multi-production route, multi-machine, and multi-period manufacturing environment.
It referred to applying option pricing theory to the valuation of non-financial or "real" investments with learning and flexibility, such as multi-stage R&D and modular manufacturing plant expansion (Myers, 1977).
