Multi-Level Manufacturing System for Make-to-Order Products
specific resources of a type, i.e., a certain machine or a single
worker, the determination of the sequence operations are processed
on a ma chine, and the assignment of start and finish times to
operations. We will modify this framework to be specifically suited
for multi level make-to-order manufacturing systems. We assume that
the facil ity design issue is settled, i.e., the location and the
layout of the facility as well as the capacity ofthe three main
resource types of the company are determined. These resource types
are the engineering department, the fabrication department, and the
assembly department. The engineering department is concerned with
the construction of new products as well as the modification and
customization of ex isting products. This entails the generation of
engineering documents such as blue prints for manufacturing. The
capacity of the engineering department is determined by the the
count and qualification of engi neers and by the availability of
construction devices such as computer aided design (CAD) systems
etc."
The book is concerned with production planning problems arising in the context of make-to-order assembly. After introducing the general decision context, a survey of the relevant literature in the fields of assembly management, make-to-order manufacturing, and project scheduling is given. The main part of the book provides a hierarchical planning approach with three levels: order selection, manufacturing planning, and operations scheduling. The decision problem of each level is carefully elaborated and stated in terms of a mathematical programme. Suited solution procedures such as list scheduling, tabu search, and linear programming are proposed and experimentally tested.
This book is the result of my research perfonned at the University
Kiel under the supervision of Professor Dr. Andreas Drexl. I am
very grateful to him for suggesting the subject as well as for his
guidance and support during the preparation. Professor Dr. Klaus
Brockhoff deserves thanks for under- taking the task of the
secondary assessment. The Institut fur Betriebswirtschaftslehre in
Kiel and especially my col- leagues Dr. Knut Haase, Carsten Jordan,
AlfKimrns, and Dr. Frank Salewski provided a stimulating
environment. Particularly, I am indebted to Dr. Arno Sprecher and
Andreas Schinner. The results of Chapter 2 and 3, respectively, are
outcome of joint research with Arno; Andreas proof-read the entire
manuscript. Furthennore, I would like to express my gratitude to
Prof. Dr. Erik Demeulemeester, Prof Dr. James H. Patterson, Prof
Dr. Roman Slowinski, and Prof Dr. Ramon Alvarez-Valdes for the
valuable help they provided with suggestions, papers, and computer
programs. I, As to the technical realisation of this book, lowe
thanks to Reimer Karlsen for coding and impl~menting parts of the
algorithms, to Marc Schumann for drawing all figures, to Ina
Kantowski who looked after the literature, and to Uwe Penke for
providing a ready-to-use computer-laboratory. The gratitude that I
feel towards my family requires no further comments.
