The integration of manufacturing and logistics has drawn widespread research attentions in recent years. This paper focuses on the Synchronized Production and Logistics (SPL), which is operational level integration. SPL is defined as synchronizing the processing, moving and storing of raw material, WIP and finished product within one manufacturing unit by high level information sharing and joint scheduling...
Milk-run logistics (MRL) allows the multiple enterprises in an industrial park to integrate their small-batch materials handling tasks into a highly shared logistics process to avoid redundant logistics consumption. Yet the performances of such collaborated process are often affected by the unexpected operational dynamics factors of MRL process, e.g. suppliers' unstable production rates. This paper,...
Although RFID technologies are enjoying rapid developments, its practical use in manufacturing processes is still limited. Existed applications focus mainly on the pallet-level RFID implementation, which facilitates batch data processing in material handling operations, e.g. material delivery, yet cannot realize real-time lean control for individual parts. This leaves the manufacturing processes as...
This article aims at developing a service-oriented dashboard for operators and supervisors of manufacturing shopfloor work-cells to realize information visibility and traceability effectively with cloud and RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies. The work is based on a case of an illustrative assembly line consisting of a number of work cells. The dashboard is deployed for facilitating...
