A Review of Current Challenges in Production Planning
Journal Title: Acta Technica Jaurinensis - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
For manufacturing companies growing customer expectations, shortening product life cycles and increasing product variant numbers mean great challenges. Overcoming these is a major task for production planning, which is responsible for coordinating all business processes directly related to manufacturing. This paper presents important activities of production planning giving an integrative overview, and presents the digital factory concept with special attention to problems and their possible solutions. It concludes with challenges still waiting to be resolved and future development trends.

Thermomechanical Analysis of Vibrations of Silent Block
Vehicle components made of rubber or rubber like polymers usually exhibit large deformations.Cyclic deformations may induce increasing in temperature in elastic materials. In this paper after the summary of the basic phy...
A New Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm, the Weighted Attraction Method
The paper presents a novel, particle behavior--based metaheuristic global optimization method. The idea behind the algorithm is based on attraction between particles, and in some aspects it is similar to the particle swa...
State Space Estimation for an Electromechanical Actuator Valve Using Extended Kalman Filter
This paper presents a state space estimation for an Electromechanical Actuator Valve using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). A proposed actuator model includes a Tustin’s friction model with strong nonlinearities, hence it r...
State Space Based Linear Controller Design for the Inverted Pendulum
In a previous survey paper the detailed PID controller design to stabilize the inclination angle as well as the horizontal movement of an inverted pendulum system has been presented. In this paper the linear co...
Advanced Modelling of Virtualized Servers
In the recent years, server virtualization is one of the most important directions of IT infrastructure development. Simulating virtualized infrastructures are unavoidable for designing cloud systems that are customized...
