In this paper we consider the problems faced by an industrial planner who is responsible for
the design of real-life asynchronous production lines under stochastic conditions that may …

Undoubtedly, Manufacturing is of great importance throughout a number of industrial
sectors. Manufacturing is an activity that creates jobs and wealth and is widely regarded as a …

In paint shops in the automotive industry, a change of colours between two consecutive cars
causes sequence-dependent set-up costs. Often, selectivity banks are used as storage and …

Simultaneous allocation of service times and buffer capacities in manufacturing systems in a
random environment is a NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem. This paper presents …

In this paper, we study the production process on multi-stage assembly lines. These
production systems comprise simple processing as well as assembly stations. At the latter …

The aim of this paper is to deal with a method that enables the user to design and configure
a production line against multiple-user defined criteria. Machine utilization, investment cost …

Optimizing the configuration of a complex production line is an NP-hard problem in various
machine settings. Solving real-life-size instances of this problem becomes a more common …

A manufacturing system is assumed to be comprising a combination of machines, cells, intra-
logistics devices and other peripheral devices, used on the factory floor as well as on …
