Environmental initiatives in South African Wineries : a comparison between small and large wineries
… and an industry specific initiative, called the Integrated Production of Wine Scheme (IPW). Large wineries have not yet implemented ISO 14001 but several intend to in future. Small wineries had a poor knowledge of ISO 14001 and believed that ISO management systems (i) are not required by the …

Integrated Scheduling and Material Handling: Theory and Applications in Manufacturing Systems
… central to manufacturing systems. In practice, production scheduling is tightly linked to material handling, as jobs must be transported between machines, buffers, and storage locations. However, transportation decisions have often been simplified or decoupled from classical scheduling models. …

Application of lean and TPM tools to improve OEE: a case study in peruvian metalworking SMES
… of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) using integrated production comprising Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Among the fundamentals of the work were standardization of work, autonomous and preventive maintenance of equipment. Results showed OEE when measured on the …

An algorithm to determine the causes of inventory stock-outs in manufacturing firms
… levels, shorter cycle times, and more closely integrated production schedules have led to an extremely low tolerance for inventory stock-outs. In such an environment, any shortage is costly, and understanding why stock-outs occur and how to prevent them is an important issue. However, the …

On Model Libraries for Thermo-hydraulic Applications
… are becoming increasingly more complex. Tightly integrated production and process optimization are trends that give rise to heterogeneous systems, which are difficult to handle without expertise in several engineering disciplines. Model libraries provide an excellent way to package engineering …

Designing two-stage recycling operations for increased usage of undervalued raw materials
… raw materials as liquid metal into final alloy production. In this case, the coordination between the reprocessing stage and the re-melting stage is critical. This study suggests integrated production planning for two stages. The mathematical pooling problem is used to model two-stage recycling …

Modeling, Analysis, and Algorithms for Some Supply Chain Logistics Optimization Problems
… decision levels. The first problem deals with integrated production and shipping scheduling for a single manufacturer and multiple customers. We develop an optimum-seeking algorithm and a fast heuristic, both of which exploit structural properties of the problem. The second problem is a joint …

Phytoplankton production in Agulhas bank waters (South Africa)
… measurements of community and size- fractionated production in continental shelf waters of the Agulhas Bank (South Africa) are presented. Auxiliary measurements included chlorophyll α, nitrate concentrations and thermal profiling of the water column. During the winter and spring surveys, the mixed …

Asynchronous stochastic learning curve effects in a large scale production system
Large scale production systems contain dynamically unequal distributing lead times and improvement rates. This has made it very problematic to statistically predict the ability of global partners to meet common deadlines simultaneously This system behavior can be attributed to the effects of …

Permaculture as farming practice and international grassroots network: a multidisciplinary study
… and ecological consequences of input-intensive production. Transitioning to agroecological production is, however, a complex project that requires action from all sectors of society – from producers and consumers, and from scientists and grassroots networks. Grassroots networks and movements are …

Optimal consignment stocking policies for a supply chain under different system constraints
… aims are to enable the decision maker of an integrated vendor-buyer system under Consignment Stock (CS) policy to make the optimal/sub-optimal production/replenishment decisions when some general and realistic critical factors are considered. In the system, the vendor produces one product at …
