Phillip Marksberry, Joshua Bustle, Jeff ClevingerToyota's success in the automotive industry has been attributed to many factors, one of which is their systematic company‐wide problem‐solving approach. While Toyota's structured…
Determining the throughput of a CONWIP system using adjusted ARM
Carman K.M. Lee, He Hu, Danping Lin, Linda Lianfeng ZhangThe purpose of this paper is to propose an adjusted approximate regenerative model (ARM) for a constant‐work‐in‐process (CONWIP)‐based production system that solves the problem of…
An advanced overlapping production planning model in manufacturing supply chain
Li‐Chih Wang, Hung‐Lin ShihThe purpose of this paper is to develop a new approach called advanced overlapping production planning (AOPP) model which considers multi‐site process selection, sequential…
How to improve the use of industrial robots in lean manufacturing systems
Mikael Hedelind, Mats JacksonThe purpose of this paper is to identify how industrial robotics fits into lean manufacturing systems. This paper presents results from case studies where Swedish and Japanese…
Application of object‐oriented framework on manufacturing domain
Thankachan T. Pullan, M. Bhasi, G. MadhuThe purpose of this paper is to address the capture and documentation of essential design for manufacture (DFM) pieces of information to make design decisions. Essential…
Integration of economic production quantity in optimization design of control chart based on loss function and random process shift
Er‐shun Pan, Yao Jin, Ying WangThe purpose of this paper is to develop an extensive economic production quantity (EPQ) model on the basis of previous research. Considering an imperfect three‐state production…
