Strategic evaluation of advanced manufacturing technology

Article Abstract:

Effective evaluation of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) begins with identification of market forces and critical success factors. Identification of competitive and opportunity gap is also needed in justifying AMT. Lastly, effective assessment of AMT benefits is achieved through evaluation of its contribution to the closing of competitive and opportunity gap. One of the benefits of ATM as compared to traditional models is that it introduces new competitive options to companies as well as spur the introduction of new products at a low cost in lesser time.

Cyclic and constant-proportion input-control strategies for dedicated flexible manufacturing system operations

Article Abstract:

The applicability of two input-control strategies to flexible manufacturing systems was evaluated. The control strategies, namely cyclic control and constant proportion, were analyzed using a multi-item production inventory model that allows more than one delivery per production run. The results indicate that the constant-proportion control approach offers higher annual savings than the cyclic-control strategy.
