Forecasting KPIs of Production Systems Using LSTM Networks
Key Performance indicators (KPIs) are the bases of management, decision support and forecasting tools of production systems. They are monitored by companies to analyze and control their manufacturing processes. KPIs allow measuring how successful is an organisation towards a set of objectives to be achieved. Moreover, accurate forecasting of KPIs allows decisions to be redirected […]

Evaluation of Dispatching Rules Performance for a DJSSP Towards their Application in Industry 4.0
Dispatching rules (DRs) are very attractive heuristics for solving complex dynamic job-shop scheduling problems. DRs advantages can be summarized in their ability to make real-time scheduling decision and their ease of implementation. Many research works have been performed to design dispatching rules and to evaluate their performance regarding the main scheduling objectives (i.e. mean flow […]

Augmented design with additive manufacturing. methodology: Tangible object-based method to enhance creativity in design for additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) brings new design potential compared with traditional manufacturing. Nevertheless, traditional manufacturing knowledge remains embedded in the minds of designers and is a real cognitive barrier to design in AM. Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) provides tools, techniques, and guidelines to optimize design with the specifics of AM. These methods are usable at […]
