A production scheduling problem with uncertain sequence-dependent set-up times and random yield

Paul Xirouchakis, Byung Jun Joo

A scheduling problem in a real production line with uncertain sequence-dependent set-up times and a random yield is considered. The production line can produce multiple product types as production lots, each of which is composed of a number of products of ...

Design of a semantic knowledge base to support the product development process

Paul Xirouchakis, Predrag Spasojevic

New product development today is a knowledge-heavy process, but very often this knowledge is not adequately handled, it’s not made readily available to the actors, or is lost within or between similar projects. Furthermore, different legacy tools and data ...
