Flow distance reduction for a multi-product flowline with sets of identical machines

Flow distance reduction for a multi-product flowline with sets of identical machines http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1628/ A group of M machines for processing a set of jobs in a manufacturing system is often located in a serial line. An efficient strategy for locating these machines is desired such that the total travel distance or the cost of transporting… Continue reading Flow distance reduction for a multi-product flowline with sets of identical machines

Machine assignment in a nonlinear multi-product flowline

Machine assignment in a nonlinear multi-product flowline http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1627/ A group of machines for processing a set of jobs in a manufacturing system is often located in a serial line. An efficient strategy for locating these machines such that the total travel distance or the cost of transporting the jobs is minimized is desired. In this… Continue reading Machine assignment in a nonlinear multi-product flowline

Operations policy for a supply chain system with fixed-interval delivery and linear demand

Operations policy for a supply chain system with fixed-interval delivery and linear demand http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1624/ This research addresses a production-supply problem for a supply-chain system with fixed-interval delivery. A strategy that determines the optimal batch sizes, cycle times, numbers of orders of raw materials, and production start times is prescribed to minimize the total costs for… Continue reading Operations policy for a supply chain system with fixed-interval delivery and linear demand

Determining manufacturing batch sizes for a lumpy delivery system with trend demand

Determining manufacturing batch sizes for a lumpy delivery system with trend demand http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1623/ This paper considers a manufacturing system that procures raw materials and converts them to a finished product. The life cycle of the product usually has three distinct phases: increasing (inception), level (maturity) and declining (phasing out) demand. The finished products are supplied… Continue reading Determining manufacturing batch sizes for a lumpy delivery system with trend demand

Finite horizon planning for a production system with permitted shortage and fixed-interval deliveries

Finite horizon planning for a production system with permitted shortage and fixed-interval deliveries http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1622/ Raw material ordering policy and the manufacturing batch size for frequent deliveries of finished goods for a finite horizon plays a significant role in managing the supply chain logistics economically. This research develops an ordering policy for raw materials and determines… Continue reading Finite horizon planning for a production system with permitted shortage and fixed-interval deliveries

Optimal production plans and shipment schedules in a supply-chain system with multiple suppliers and multiple buyers

Optimal production plans and shipment schedules in a supply-chain system with multiple suppliers and multiple buyers http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1620/ This research addresses an optimal policy for production and procurement in a supply-chain system with multiple non-competing suppliers, a manufacturer and multiple non-identical buyers. The manufacturer procures raw materials from suppliers, converts them to finished products and ships… Continue reading Optimal production plans and shipment schedules in a supply-chain system with multiple suppliers and multiple buyers

The Synergy Effect of “ABCGM” for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

The Synergy Effect of “ABCGM” for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/1617/ Entrepreneurship is believed to bring a positive impact on the prosperity of a community, job creation, and economic outlook of a nation through the numerous small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Thus, the study was to examine the correlation of five actors (academic, business, community,… Continue reading The Synergy Effect of “ABCGM” for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
