Analysis and design of discrete part production lines

Analysis and Design of Discrete Part Production Lines provides a complete overview of production systems, investigating several production line problems, and describing the best approaches to the analysis of production line performance. Written by experts in the field of production and manufacturing research, this book also presents numerous techniques that can be used to describe and model various types of production lines. Special Features: Includes access to asupplementary web-based software package, providing algorithms and examples, developed by distinguished experts of the field. Describes new results for evaluative techniques and design algorithms as well as several open problems in production line optimization. Presents in detail the theory and techniques thatunderlie production system management, design, and analysis, allowing the book to serve as an excellent introduction to newcomers in the field. Collected in one book are descriptions of and generally accepted best approaches to the analysis of the major problems facing the designers of production lines Will greatly assist designers and researchers to quickly ascertain what production line problems have been solved and what areas need further investigation Additional software available online and is an integral part of the text INDICE: Preface.- 1 Manufacturing Systems: Types and Modeling.- 2 Evaluative Models of Discrete Part Production Lines.- 3 The Design of Production Lines.- 4 Work-Load and Server Allocation Problems.- 5 The Buffer Allocation Problem.- 6 Double and Triple Optimization.- 7 Cost Considerations.- A Mathematical Fundamentals.- B Algorithms/Procedures Details and Guide to Use.- C Glossary.-D Conference Participants: Presenters and Attendees.- E Simulation Model of aReliable Production Line.
