Assembly planning is a difficult problem for companies. Many disciplines such as design, planning, scheduling, and manufacturing execution need to be carefully engineered and coordinated to create successful product assembly plans. Recent…

This study considers a continuous-review inventory model for a single item with two replenishment modes. Replenishments may occur continuously at any time with a higher unit cost, or at discrete times governed by Poisson arrivals with a…

This paper presents a novel position control strategy for a single-link flexible manipulator, tailored for applications where precise position must be achieved within strict time constraints. To accomplish this objective, firstly, a nested…

In this paper, we present a data-driven model for estimating optimal rework policies in manufacturing systems. We consider a single production stage within a multistage, lot-based system that allows for optional rework steps. While the…

Time delays are a common perturbation in systems with many states, such as networked, distributed, or decentralized systems. Current methods analyzing the stability of large systems with time delay typically produce very conservative…

Design For Manufacturing (DFM) approaches aim to integrate manufacturability aspects during the design stage. Most of DFM approaches usually consider only one manufacturing process, but products competitiveness may be improved by designing…

Maintenance scheduling is a complex decision-making problem in the production domain, where a number of maintenance tasks and resources has to be assigned and scheduled to production entities in order to prevent unplanned production…

We consider a production-inventory control model with finite capacity and two different production rates, assuming that the cumulative process of customer demand is given by a compound Poisson process. It is possible at any time to switch…

We describe a novel decision-making problem developed in response to the demands of retail electronic commerce (e-commerce). While working with logistics and retail industry business collaborators, we found that the cost of delivery of…

The literature on master production scheduling for product mix problems under the Theory of Constraints (TOC) was considered by many previous studies. Most studies assume a static resources availability. In this study, the raw materials…

High responsiveness and economic efficiency are critical objectives in supply chain transportation, both of which are influenced by strategic decisions on shipping mode. An integrated framework combining an efficient simulator with an…

Online marketplaces increasingly do more than simply match buyers and sellers: they route orders across competing sellers and, in many categories, offer ancillary fulfillment services that make seller inventory a source of platform revenue.…

Robust control design is mainly devoted to guarantee closed-loop stability of a model-based control law in presence of parametric and structural uncertainties. The control law is usually a complex feedback law which is derived from a…

We study optimal data pooling for shared learning in two common maintenance operations: condition-based maintenance and spare parts management. We consider a set of systems subject to Poisson input -- the degradation or demand process --…

We discuss the role of monotonicity in enabling numerically tractable modular control design for networked nonlinear systems. We first show that the variational systems of monotone systems can be embedded into positive systems. Utilizing…

In this paper, we study a fault-tolerant control for systems consisting of multiple homogeneous components such as parallel processing machines. This type of system is often more robust to uncertainty compared to those with a single…

This paper studies a scheduling control problem for a single-server multiclass queueing network in heavy traffic, operating in a changing environment. The changing environment is modeled as a finite state Markov process that modulates the…

We investigate the connection between the dynamics of synchronization and the modularity on complex networks. Simulating the Kuramoto's model in complex networks we determine patterns of meta-stability and calculate the modularity of the…

Stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems are important in many areas of engineering, operations research and reliability analysis. These comparisons allow for the evaluation of the performance and reliability of systems under…

Manufacturers of safety-critical systems must make the case that their product is sufficiently safe for public deployment. Much of this case often relies upon critical event outcomes from real-world testing, requiring manufacturers to be…
