Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR SIMULTANEOUS COST-RISK REDUCTION IN MULTI-SUPPLIERS JUST-IN-TIME SYSTEMSFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerIn today’s competitive global markets, Just-in-Time (JIT) is one of the main lean manufacturing approaches. It is used in organizations to improve performance and reduce costs and as a strategic core capability to ensure their market position. However, using JIT tightly couples various functions of the Supply Chain and increases the risk of propagating disruptions through the entire system. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A FUZZY-SIMULATION MODEL OF SCHEDULING ROBOTIC FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY CELLSKhalid Abd, Kazem Abhary, Romeo MarianDue to the complexity of scheduling flexible manufacturing systems, the generation of production schedules requires an intelligent technique. Many artificial intelligence techniques such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and neural networks have been successfully applied to the scheduling of advanced manufacturing systems. One such system is Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells (RFACs). Few studies have addressed the problem of scheduling RFACs. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite
