Concerns scheduling five jobs through a flow shop with five machines. The distribution of makespans and the …

Constructs a knowledge‐based simulation model for job shop scheduling simulation techniques to build the initial status … of the knowledge base. Uses the simulation experiments to study the effect of technological factors, such as machine … loading conditions and criteria of scheduling performance requirements, on the selection of scheduling priority rules …

. Traditionally, the lines designed and operated using line balancing approach are considered optimal. Uses simulation methodology to …

“modelling” and the “descriptive” varieties. Compares two IDEF methods (one of the modelling type and one of the descriptive type … IDEF0, function modelling method, and IDEF3, process flow description capture method. Concludes that when considering the …

can substantially enhance customer service and quality. Simulation of work flow and capacity to identify bottlenecks along … with scheduling of set‐ups on a leadtime basis are potentially important supporting methodologies.  …
