India has a sizeable telecom equipment manufacturing industry. The industry, which was originally dominated by just one state-owned corporation, has now been deregulated. Currently the industry consist of twelve SMEs, which manufacture small and medium switches and seven large firms (of which...

Cycle time management plays an important role in improving the performance of a wafer fabrication factory. It starts from the estimation of the cycle time of each job in the wafer fabrication factory. Although this topic has been widely investigated, several issues still need to be addressed,...

The work desires: 1) to determine the optimum level of batch size in bottleneck facility; 2) to analyse the effect of common processes on throughput and cycle time in a multistage production system under machine breakdown and quality uncertainty. In this research, the authors developed...

Derivation of Minimum Batch size to minimize WIP and Cycle Time R

Effective Mass Me of WIP derived from Little’s Law

This paper describes three approaches to solving the operator-machine assignment problem. Difference equations are used to prove the optimality of the third approach, a three-step simple and quick solution technique. Techniques for performing sensitivity analyses on the operator and machine...

We report the characteristics of heat transfer and emissions in natural gas fired flameless oxidation conditions created using multiple semi-industrial regenerative burners. Burner positions and firing modes (parallel and staggered) are varied, and their effects on efficiency, emissions (NO, CO)...

The behavior of heat transfer and emissions in a semi-industrial 300kWth natural gas fired furnace with three pairs of regenerative flameless oxidation burners was studied. The furnace offers unique possibilities for varying burner positions and firing modes (parallel and staggered). The...
