Manufacturing blocking discipline: a multi-criterion approach for buffer allocations

Article Abstract:

Multi-objective allocation model solves problems of buffer space allocation in manufacturing. The model presents choices of trade-offs on factors of maintaining throughput with low work-in-process and production time through an analytic hierarchy process. The AHP technique ranks efficient allocation according to their relative importance while taking into consideration preferential inconsistencies. A multi-stage production system is used as a simulation model in the study using the manufacturing blocking discipline materials control system.

Optimal buffer space for a periodic review production/ inventory system with inventory-dependent production rate

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the development of a feeding buffer for a manufacturing system is presented. The analysis considers a system with multiple pallets where raw materials are periodically delivered by batch. The delivery process flows from a central warehouse, to the local feeding buffer and then by pallet for processing requirements. It is shown that total cost function conditions may be established. In addition, the problem solution which is derived minimizes inventory holding costs.

Weather-induced instability in agricultural produce with respect to buffer stocks in India and Iran: an integrated optimisation and dynamic input-output model

Article Abstract:

The effect of weather instability on agricultural production is analyzed with regard to value added on buffer stocks due to yield and price changes. Two models of integrated linear programming and dynamic input-output analysis form the basis of the analysis. The results show that the absolute values of the figures and their deviation ratios and coefficients of variation indicate the pervasive effects of the weather.
