Abstract

Manufacturing organizations are experiencing a wide range of forces which make it necessary for them to continuously adapt their operations and consider the consequences of their production activities on customer expectations, supplier constraints and changes in the law. This paper presents an empirical verification of knowledge levels and the perceived strategic relevance of manufacturing flexibility. A questionnaire survey was conducted with a sample of 89 manufacturing firms located in the area around Brescia, one of the most industrialized areas in Europe. Initial results gave a better understanding of which type of flexibility is preferred when facing different environmental challenges. In addition, insights into managerial approaches were brought out through clustering and discriminant analysis which have made it possible to emphasize some significant differences between firms in the search patterns of manufacturing flexibility. Keywords: Manufacturing flexibility; Operations management; Small and medium-sized enterprises; Mechanical industry

39. A fuzzy logic based methodology to rank shop floor dispatching rules

Abstract

When scheduling jobs in a flow shop no single dispatching rule works best for all performance criteria. Hence, it becomes paramount to assess which rule is more balanced in terms of different conflicting achievements. An alternative to the simulation based comparison of different dispatching rules can be represented by a linguistic based decision making method. In this paper, we present a fuzzy logic based tool intended to rank flow shop dispatching rules under multiple performance criteria. This tool is detailed with reference to a significant industrial case of a major company operating in the boilermaker industry. The results show that the approach is robust and effective in providing a practical guidance to scheduling practitioners in choosing priorities dispatching rules when there are multiple objectives. Finally, the benefits and the shortcomings of the approach are discussed. Keywords: Flow shop scheduling; Dispatching rules; Fuzzy logic
