Decision support system for a jewellery manufacturer

Article Abstract:

A management information system with a specially designed decision support system has been developed to meet the specifications of Hongkong's jewelry manufacturing industry. The system is designed to help jewelry manufacturers make decisions in different aspects of their operations, such as materials requirement planning, vendor selection, job assignment, price quotation and sales analysis. A departure from the traditional methods of production control and management of Hongkong jewelry industry, the system has been proven to create an efficient production environment with improved inventory control and production scheduling.

A progressive figure-based production planning system for a component manufacturer

Article Abstract:

A study conducted a practical project in cooperation with a components manufacturer that involved the design and installation of a prototype production planning (scheduling) system. The project provided a number of insights. One, the progressive figure system is an important tool in production planning and control. Two, optimization models are not required in decision support as optimization is only the final step in decision support system hierarchy.

A multi-level decision-making system with multiple resources for controlling cotton harvesting

Article Abstract:

A multi-level control model for controlling cotton harvesting is developed. The uniqueness of the model lies in its use of two types of resources, namely, mechanical harvesters and workers. Decision-making is performed in three levels with the first or team level deciding on the harvesting speed. The farm level determines the distribution of resources among teams while the district level is tasked with optimizing resource.
