Evaluating Machine Tool Alternatives Through Modified TOPSIS And Alpha-Cut Based Fuzzy ANP
(Elsevier Science Bv, Po Box 211, 1000 Ae Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2012-12)
The problem of machine tool selection among available alternatives has been critical issue for most companies in fast-growing markets for a long time. In the presence of many alternatives and selection criteria, the problem ...
Mixed Model Assembly Line Balancing With Sub-Assembly Selection in Automotive Industry
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, Po Box 128 Farrer Rd, Singapore 9128, Singapore, 2012)
In this study, mixed model assembly line balancing and sub-assembly selection problems are solved jointly. The mixed model assembly line balancing problem requires that tasks are assigned to workstations with balanced ...
Synchronized Two-Stage Lot Sizing and Scheduling Problem in Automotive Industry
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberger Platz 3, D-14197 Berlin, GermanySpringer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberger Platz 3, D-14197 Berlin, Germany, 2012)
This study proposes a mixed-integer linear programming model to solve the synchronized two-stage lot sizing and scheduling problem with setup times and costs. The main motivation behind this study is based on the need of ...
A Cutting Sequencing Approach to Modular Manufacturing
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2004)
In this study, a two‐stage algorithm is developed for the cutting sequencing problem in a modular manufacturing system consisting of four basic workstations. Since the flexibility of the system is dependent upon the cutting ...
An integrated approach to the one-dimensional cutting stock problem in coronary stent manufacturing
(Elsevier Science Bv, Po Box 211, 1000 Ae Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2009-07-16)
This paper presents a two-stage approach for pattern generation and cutting plan determination of the one-dimensional cutting stock problem. Calculation of the total number of patterns that will be cut and generation of ...
An Intelligent Approach To Machine Tool Selection Through Fuzzy Analytic Network Process
(Springer, Van Godewijckstraat 30, 3311 Gz Dordrecht, Netherlands, 2011-04)
In this study, we utilize analytic network process (ANP), a more general form of AHP, for justifying stand-alone machine tools out of available alternatives in market due to the fact that AHP cannot accommodate the variety ...
A Combined Fuzzy AHP-goal Programming Approach to Assembly-Line Selection
(IOS PRESS, NIEUWE HEMWEG 6B, 1013 BG AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2007)
In mass production, assembly-line balancing (ALB) problem has been a critical and repetitive issue for companies for long time. On the other hand, equipment selection for stations has also been another important problem ...
An analytic network process-based approach to concept evaluation in a new product development environment
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2007-06)
Selecting the best product concept is one of the most critical tasks in a new product development (NPD) environment. Making decisions at this stage becomes very difficult due to imprecise and uncertain product requirements. ...
A Hybrid Approach To Concept Selection Through Fuzzy Analytic Network Process
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford Ox5 1Gb, England, 2009-02)
Evaluating conceptual design alternatives in a new product development (NPD) environment has been one of the most critical issues for many companies which try to survive in the fast-growing world markets. Therefore, most ...
