{"product_id":"modeling-of-production-planning-of-a-shop-floor","title":"Modeling of Production Planning of a Shop Floor","description":"Modeling production planning of a shop floor is  essential in improving operational efficiency of the  supply chain and thus significantly reducing costs.  The uncertainties in processing times are highly  undesirable for production managers.  Classical  linear programming models and various hybrid models  have been unsuccessful to accurately represent both  stochasticity in processing levels and precedence  constraints. This book proposes a modified hybrid  discrete event simulation-optimization model that  uses chance constraints to deal with stochasticity. A  comprehensive analysis has been done on the model for  various levels of uncertainties and variations in  input parameters. Computational studies have also  been performed to test the effects of dispatching  sequences and backlogging.  The analysis would help in better production planning  and scheduling in shop floor and should be especially  useful to professionals in Manufacturing and  Industrial Engineering, and to anyone else who may be  researching in production planning and control.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492408500597,"sku":"9783838353968","price":40.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783838353968.jpg?v=1786529248","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/modeling-of-production-planning-of-a-shop-floor","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
