Genetic algorithm-based insulation box line layout optimization for LNG ship
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
To build the first LNG ship in china, production efficiency and cost pose an urgent problem when designs its layout. Considering the real logistics types in insulation box line for LNG ship, a multi-line facility layout ...
An integrated Web-based scheduling and quality decision support system (SQDSS)
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Decision Support Systems (DSS) have evolved from being considered as a competitive edge to a survival strategy. In different echelons of a value chain, when DSS is combined with lean tools it drives out not only the non-value ...
Optimization of cutting parameters for parallel machine scheduling with constrained power demand peak
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Most of the past studies regarding machining optimization were based on machining science and economic considerations without the environmental dimension. Machining with higher cutting speed is usually desirable considering ...
Applying lean manufacturing tools to the management of operational and network risks
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Risk management has become a growing concern for manufacturers. Academics in the field have classified risks into operational (internal), network (supply chain) and environmental (natural, political and external) risks. ...
A Bayesian network based decision support system
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
In this highly dynamic environment, data and information are rapidly changing in time. For a decision support system, to capture continuum data and then to extract knowledge from data is in high demand. Our research work ...

(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Industrial robots, both stationary and mobile, have been used in manufacturing applications for decades and are most often employed based on requirements for dedicated and repetitive manufacturing operations. Industrial ...
A techno-health study of the use of cutting fluids and future alternatives
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
The health issues associated with exposure to cutting fluids is an increasing concern among occupational health researchers. However, this issue has been overlooked in manufacturing enterprises from engineering prospective. ...
Integration of machine learning and mathematical programming methods into the biomass feedstock supplier selection process
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Recent concerns over the use of and reliance on fossil fuels have stimulated research efforts in identifying, developing, and selecting alternative energy sources. Biofuels represent a promising replacement for conventional ...
Sustainable design and innovation for office furniture and its implementation
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Products such as furniture are a combination of components that together provide the functionality required by the customer. For the designer, the product configuration has special importance. The impetus for new ideas ...
Development and implementation of value stream income statements in support of a company's lean transformation
