A simulation optimisation approach for real-time scheduling in an open shop environment using a composite dispatching rule
In the last decades, many researchers have studied open shop scheduling OSS problem by considering deterministic parameters using mathematical modelling, heuristics and meta-heuristics. However, it is important to study the problem as close as possible ...
Mining frequent trajectory patterns of WIP in Internet of Things-based spatial-temporal database
The application of Internet of Things technologies has led to a data-rich manufacturing environment by connecting manufacturing objects as a collaborative community. However, advanced analytics approach is comparatively inadequate for work-in-process ...

This paper proposes a method for human–robot HR task planning, considering at the same time, the design of the workplace. A model for the representation of humans and robots as a team of active resources is proposed, while equipment such as working ...
Multilevel complexity measurement in enterprise architecture models
The authors create a model to measure the complexity associated with enterprise architecture EA proposals at the design stage. At this stage, existing methods measure the complexity of business capabilities regardless of their leveraging business and ...
A novel path planning methodology for extrusion-based additive manufacturing of thin-walled parts
Extrusion-based layered deposition is one of the widely used additive manufacturing AM technologies due to its flexibility and capability in producing prototypes without geometrical complexity limitations. One of the most important steps in determining ...
Single and multi-row layout design for flexible manufacturing systems
In this paper, machines are allocated in horizontal rows along sides of an automated guided vehicle path so that the total cost of material transportation between machines is optimised. The problems of locating machines in single, double and multi-row ...
A clustering network-based approach to service composition in cloud manufacturing
Cloud manufacturing CMfg is a new business paradigm that aims to provide manufacturing resources as services over the Internet in a convenient pay-as-you-go mode. Service composition is a critical means for achieving value adding and synergy of ...
