Book Description
Analysis and Modeling of Manufacturing Systems is a set of papers on some of the newest research and applications of mathematical and computational techniques to manufacturing systems and supply chains. These papers deal with fundamental questions (how to predict factory performance: how to operate production systems) and explicitly treat the stochastic nature of failures, operation times, demand, and other important events. Analysis and Modeling of Manufacturing Systems will be of interest to readers with a strong background in operations research, including researchers and mathematically sophisticated practitioners.
Spare Parts Inventory Control under System Availability Constraints
Author: Geert-Jan van HoutumPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1489976094
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This book focuses on the tactical planning level for spare parts management. It describes a series of multi-item inventory models and presents exact and heuristic optimization methods, including greedy heuristics that work well for real, life-sized problems. The intended audience consists of graduate students, starting scholars in the field of spare parts inventory control, and spare parts planning specialists in the industry. In individual chapters the authors consider topics including: a basic single-location model; single-location models with multiple machine types and/or machine groups; the multi-location model with lateral transshipments; the classical METRIC model and its generalization to multi-indenture systems; and a single-location model with an explicit modeling of the repair capacity for failed parts and the priorities that one can set there. Various chapters of the book are used in a master course at Eindhoven University of Technology and in a PhD course of the Graduate Program Operations Management and Logistics (a Dutch network that organizes PhD courses in the field of OM&L). The required pre-knowledge consists of probability theory and basic knowledge of Markov processes and queuing theory. End-of-chapter problems appear for all chapters, with some answers appearing in an appendix.
Architecting Fail‐Safe Supply Networks

Pages : 276
Book Description
A fail-safe supply network is designed to mitigate the impact of variations and disruptions on people and corporations. This is achieved by (1) developing a network structure to mitigate the impact of disruptions that distort the network structure and (2) planning flow through the network to neutralize the effects of variations. In this monograph, we propose a framework, develop mathematical models and provide examples of fail-safe supply network design. We show that, contrary to current thinking as embodied in the supply network literature, disruption management decisions made at the strategic network design level are not independent from variation management decisions made at the operational level. Accordingly, we suggest that it is beneficial to manage disruptions and variations concurrently in supply networks. This is achieved by architecting fail-safe supply networks, which are characterized by the following elements: reliability, robustness, flexibility, structural controllability, and resilience. Organizations can use the framework presented in this monograph to manage variations and disruptions. Managers can select the best operational management strategies for their supply networks considering variations in supply and demand, and identify the best network restoration strategies including facility fortification, backup inventory, flexible production capacity, flexible inventory, and transportation route reconfiguration. The framework is generalizable to other complex engineered networks.
Optimal Inventory Modeling of Systems
Author: Craig C. SherbrookePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 140207865X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Most books on inventory theory use the item approach to determine stock levels, ignoring the impact of unit cost, echelon location, and hardware indenture. Optimal Inventory Modeling of Systems is the first book to take the system approach to inventory modeling. The result has been dramatic reductions in the resources to operate many systems - fleets of aircraft, ships, telecommunications networks, electric utilities, and the space station. Although only four chapters and appendices are totally new in this edition, extensive revisions have been made in all chapters, adding numerous worked-out examples. Many new applications have been added including commercial airlines, experience gained during Desert Storm, and adoption of the Windows interface as a standard for personal computer models.
A Constrained Two Echelon Inventory System with Specified Service Level

ISBN:
Category : Inventory control
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This dissertation presents an analysis of continuous review models of a two-echelon inventory system for recoverable items. The system consists of a depot and a set of bases. Primary demands occur at the bases for one or several units at a time. It is assumed that demands arrive in a Poisson manner. Upon arrival of a demand for certain units, a like number of failed units are turned in at the base. An inspection of the failed units is carried out to decide whether the units will be repaired at the base or at the depot or will be removed from the system in case repair is not economical. The bases use an (s-1, s) policy for procurement of serviceable units from the depot, and the depot uses an (s, S) policy to procure from the external supplier. Demands in an out-of-stock situation are backlogged. It is assumed that all the locations have infinite repair capacities and repair and procurement lead times are constant. A common problem in inventory management is to specify the policy parameters that will minimize expected cost per unit time for operating the system subject to constraints of certain performance measures. To formulate such a problem we must find the stationary distributions for inventory position, on-hand inventory, backorders and in-repair inventory. Our main objective is to find exact expressions for these distributions.
A Two-echelon Inventory Control Model for Expendable Items with Considerations for Inventory Investment, Order Volume, and System Performance

Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Inventories are prevalent everywhere in the commercial world, whether it be in retail stores, manufacturing facilities, government stockpile material, Federal Reserve banks, or even your own household. This textbook examines basic mathematical techniques used to sufficiently manage inventories by using various computational methods and mathematical models. The text is presented in a way such that each section can be read independently, and so the order in which the reader approaches the book can be inconsequential. It contains both deterministic and stochastic models along with algorithms that can be employed to find solutions to a variety of inventory control problems. With exercises at the end of each chapter and a clear, systematic exposition, this textbook will appeal to advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students in operations research, industrial engineering, and quantitative MBA programs. It also serves as a reference for professionals in both industry and government worlds. The prerequisite courses include introductory optimization methods, probability theory (non-measure theoretic), and stochastic processes.
