This monograph contains some ofthe papers presented at a
UK-Japanese Workshop on Stochastic Modelling in Innovative
Manufacturing held at Churchill College, Cambridge on July 20 and
21st 1995, sponsored jointly by the UK Engineering and Physical
Science Research Council and the British Council. Attending were 19
UK and 24 Japanese delegates representing 28 institutions. The aim
of the workshop was to discuss the modelling work being done by
researchers in both countries on the new activities and challenges
occurring in manufacturing. These challenges have arisen because of
the increasingly uncertain environment of modern manufacturing due
to the commercial need to respond more quickly to customers
demands, and the move to just-in-time manufacturing and flexible
manufacturing systems and the increasing requirements for quality.
As well as time pressure, the increasing importance of the quality
of the products, the need to hold the minimum stock of components,
and the importance of reliable production systems has meant that
manufacturers need to design production systems that perform well
in randomly varying conditions and that their operating procedures
can respond to changes in conditions and requirements. This has
increased the need to understand how manufacturing systems work in
the random environments, and so emphasised the importance of
stochastic models of such systems.
