In the paper the possibilities of process re-organizing in relation to simple principles for
limiting waste in the production cycle have been presented. Based on value stream mapping …

We consider an n-site tandem stochastic production network where each product moves
sequentially through the sites, and the product's quality deteriorates with its sojourn time in …

In various service and production systems, such as metal processing, fresh food industry,
polymer forming, etc., the quality of the final product is a function of its total sojourn time in …
