Manufacturing automotive powertrain components (engines and transmissions) is a complex task involving the integration of hundreds of components. Simulation is commonly applied in...
Cluster tools, which combine several single-wafer processing modules with wafer handling robots in a closed environment, have been increasingly used for most wafer fabrication pro...
We describe the application of simulation analysis to a complex operational problem involving scheduling, sequencing, and material-handling decisions. The manufacturing process un...
We present a maintenance scheduling problem arising from semi-conductor manufacturing which is characterized by low resource contention and multiple complex objectives and prefere...
Continuous or high-speed manufacturing equipment is an integral part of the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer products industries. For many years, these industries h...
