Scheduling System

This paper describes a robust scheduling system for manufacturing processes. In this system, an adequate balance between large-lot and small-lot manufacturing can be achieved by a multi objective optimization technique, and the lead time for manufacturing large-lot products and appropriation rate for small-lot products can be improved in comparison with those used in traditional scheduling methods. In small-lot manufacturing, the change in setup time is considered by its static distribution, and thus, the productivity of small-lot products can be maximized. These effects of the robust scheduling system have been examined quantitatively by means of a numerical simulation.

Special Cases

The effect of unreliable players on the supply chain management with a single-setup-multi-unequal-increasing-delivery-policy (SSMUID) along with a service-dependent demand and investment is discussed in this model. The manufacturer is unreliable which causes an increase of lead time and shortage. For solving the shortage problem and reducing lead time crashing cost (LTCC), an investment is utilized with the variable backorder price discounts. The number of transportation increases due to the new transportation policy and it causes pollution. Besides the fixed transportation and carbon emission cost (FTCEC), a container dependent carbon emission cost is applied. Some investments for setup cost reduction (SCR), ordering cost reduction (OCR), and quality improvement (QI) are considered. The lead time demand follows a normal distribution. The total cost of the supply chain is optimized and the model is tested numerically. The main intent of this study is to solve the shortage problem which occurs due to unreliability of the manufacturer. The study helps to reduce the unreliability issue of the manufacturer. The objective function is solved by using the classical optimization technique. Numerical results show that the discount for partial backorder enhances the profitability of the manufacturer. The sensitiveness of the parameters are discussed through the sensitivity of analysis and some special cases. Managerial insights provide the applicability of this study among different sectors.

Capacitated Lot Sizing

Lot sizing problem in production planning aims to optimize production costs (processing, setup and holding cost) by fulfilling demand and resources capacity costraint. The Capacitated Lot sizing Problem (CLSP) model aims to balance the setup costs and inventory costs to obtain optimal total costs. The object of this study was a plastic component manufacturing company. This study use CLSP model, considering process costs, holding costs and setup costs, by calculating product cycle and setup time. The constraint of this model is the production time capacity and the storage capacity of the finished product. CLSP can reduce the total production cost by 4.05% and can reduce setup time by 46.75%.  Keyword: Lot size, CLSP, Total production cost.

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study of several labyrinth seals has been performed in the framework of both single-objective and multi-objective optimizations with the main focus on the effect of stator grooves formed due to the rubbing during gas turbine engine operation. For that purpose, the developed optimization workflow based on the DLR-AutoOpti optimizer and ANSYS-Workbench CAE environment has been employed to reduce the leakage flow and windage heating for several seals. The obtained results indicate that the seal designs obtained from optimizations without stator grooves have worse performance during the lifecycle than those with the stator grooves, justifying the importance of considering this effect for real engineering applications.

Power loss is the most significant parameter in power system analysis and its adequate calculation directly effects the economic and technical evaluation. This paper aims to propose a multi-objective optimization algorithm which optimizes dc source magnitudes and switching angles to yield minimum THD in cascaded multilevel inverters. The optimization algorithm uses metaheuristic approach, namely Harmony Search algorithm. The effectiveness of the multi-objective algorithm has been tested with 11-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter with optimized DC voltage sources using MATLAB/Simulink. As the main objective of this research paper is to analyze total power loss, calculations of power loss are simplified using approximation of curves from datasheet values and experimental measurements. The simulation results, obtained using multi-objective optimization method, have been compared with basic SPWM, optimal minimization of THD, and it is confirmed that the multilevel inverter fired using multi- objective optimization technique has reduced power loss and minimum THD for a wide operating range of multilevel inverter.
