Workshop
Stochastic models of manufacturing systems
24-25 June, 2010
The workshop is funded by the
LOIS (Logistics, Operations and
Information Systems) interest group. LOIS is one of the
strategic research areas of Eindhoven University of Technology.
The workshop is also supported by the
STW-project
"The Effective Process Time".
Summary
In manufacturing systems, throughput and flow time are key
performance metrics. Throughput refers to the number of
finished parts per unit of time and flow time refers to the
time a part needs to go through the complete sequence of
process operations. For a successful performance improvement,
insight in the main factors that are responsible for capacity
losses is essential. Typically, the focus is on utilization,
but in doing so, one may overlook opportunities for performance
improvement by reduction of variability. Stochastic models
attempt to quantify both utilization and variability and have
proven their value in practical operations and decision making.
In particular, progress has been made in the development and
application of aggregate modeling approaches, which are, from an operational point of view, very effective, since they do not
require to identify all sources in detail that contribute to
capacity losses.
The objective of this workshop is to give an overview of recent
research in performance analysis of manufacturing systems with
an emphasis on stochastic modeling, including both analytical
and simulation models.
The workshop will include 4 key-note lectures, two
on each day.
The remainder of the program consists of about 12
invited lectures, and an informal poster session with drinks at the end of
the first day of the workshop.
All participants are invited to contribute a poster
to this session.
Both academic and industry motivated poster
contributions are welcome.
