Identifying the best Dispatching Rule in order to minimize makespan in a Job Shop Scheduling Problem is a complex task, since no Dispatching Rule is better than all others in different scenarios, making the selection of a most effective rule which is time-consuming and costly. In this paper, a novel approach combining Data Mining, Simulation, and Dispatching Rules is proposed. The aim is to assign in real-time a set of Dispatching Rules to the machines on the shop floor while minimizing makespan. Experiments show that the suggested approach is effective and reduces the makespan within a range of 1–44%. Furthermore, this approach also reduces the required computation time by using Data Mining to determine and assign the best Dispatching Rules to machines.

Due to the complex, uncertainty and dynamic in the modern manufacturing environment, a flexible and robust shop floor scheduler is essential to achieve the system production goals. The paper proposes a design framework of shop floor scheduler. The details of its function modules were discussed. An adaptive scheduling strategy and a XML-based process plan representation were utilized in the scheduler, which acquires the dispatching rule from the knowledge base and uses the build-in on-line simulator to evaluate the rule. These technologies enable the scheduler has a good fine-tune ability and transfers effectively process information to other heterogeneous information systems in a shop floor. The framework introduced in the paper has been demonstrated with a manufacturing case.

To complete customer's demand so company must make a plan with using production schedule. Some diffrculties usually happen in shop floor level is a new job which is put in a production schedule that have arranged before. So that the old production schedule have to revised by reschedulling. The procedure that be used to schedule the real time production consist of n job m machine is algoritm of Hueristik Dispatching Rule Shorted Processing Time (SPT) method to minimize mean tardiness and makespan.

Staff Members

Staff members at a movie company Daiei, known for presumably the world’s best film technology, continued to produce movies for several months even after the company went bankrupt. It was because they desired to make outstanding films. A director can create a high-quality film by combining the skills and ideas of such staff. Akira Kurosawa named the group that could produce excellent works the “Community of Talents”. By using research on a community as a clue, this paper aims to highlight how the “Community of Talents” is organized. First I point out that a “Community of Talents” is formulated primarily by the labor of the staff based on Kumazawa’s “Community on the Shop Floor”. The paper subsequently refers to research by Heinrich Nicklish, a representative researcher on the study of community in Germany, in an attempt to verify that the community is a group of people established on functions. Lastly, the paper explores Guido Fisher’s research to reveal the role of democratic leadership centered on the director who transforms the objectified staff in the organization into an independently-minded presence and help them prove their abilities. The paper continues to emphasize the significance of leadership in the formation of the “Community of Talents”.

Optimized and efficient decision-making systems is the burning topic of research in modern manufacturing industry. The aforesaid statement is validated by the fact that the limitations of traditional decision-making system compresses the length and breadth of multi-objective decision-system application in FMS.  The bright area of FMS with more complexity in control and reduced simpler configuration plays a vital role in decision-making domain. The decision-making process consists of various activities such as collection of data from shop floor; appealing the decision-making activity; evaluation of alternatives and finally execution of best decisions. While studying and identifying a suitable decision-making approach the key critical factors such as decision automation levels, routing flexibility levels and control strategies are also considered. This paper investigates the cordial relation between the system ideality and process response time with various prospective of decision-making approaches responsible for shop-floor control of FMS. These cases are implemented to a real-time FMS problem and it is solved using ARENA simulation tool. ARENA is a simulation software that is used to calculate the industrial problems by creating a virtual shop floor environment. This proposed topology is being validated in real time solution of FMS problems with and without implementation of decision system in ARENA simulation tool. The real-time FMS problem is considered under the case of full routing flexibility. Finally, the comparative analysis of the results is done graphically and conclusion is drawn.

The Impact

eamwork is becoming increasingly important to wide range of operations. It applies to all levels of the company. It is just as important for top executives as it is to middle management, supervisors and shop floor workers. Poor teamwork at any level or between levels can seriously damage organizational effectiveness. The focus of this paper was therefore to examine whether leadership practices consist of team leader behavior, conflict resolution style and openness in communication significantly influenced the team member’s satisfaction in hotel industry. Result indicates that team leader behavior and the conflict resolution style significantly influenced team member satisfaction. It was surprising that openness in communication did not affect significantly to the team members’ satisfaction.

Technology Transfer (TT) is vital action from drug development in Research and Development (R and D) Department to commercial manufacturing till the product discontinuation. This review is an attempt to give an insight about the transfer of pharmaceutical product from R and D to production including necessary documents required to review the supporting documents and execution procedures in production shop floor. TT is considered effective, if there is a documented evidence that the process and its parameters, repeatedly results in desired product quality which was established upon during TT between the transferee and transferor. For the execution of TT process, expertise from different department such as Engineering, R and D, QA, process analyst and production are teamed. the transmission comprises of arrangements procured in these flows of improvement to achieve the quality as planned throughout manufacture.
