In this thesis, the feasibility of deploying RFID technologies in the case of “lowvolume high-value” products is considered by focusing on the production processes of a real company. First, the processes of the company are examined and associated problems are determined. Accordingly, a simulation of the current situation is constructed by using the discrete event simulation technique, in order to obtain an accurate model. In addition to modeling the current situation, this simulation model provides a flexible platform to analyze different scenarios and their effects on the company production. Next, various scenarios including RFID technology deployment are examined, and their results are compared with respect to profitanalysis which takes into consideration the changes in the production, work in process (WIP) inventory, stockouts, transportation and initial investment. Finally, the analysis of the results and conclusions are given in order to provide guidance for companies with “low-volume high-value” product portfolios.

Considering manufacturing cost and scheduling performance on a CNC turning machine
Gürel, Sinan (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-16)
A well known industry application that allows controllable processing times is the manufacturing operations on CNC machines. For each turning operation as an example, there is a nonlinear relationship between the manufacturing cost and its required processing time on a CNC turning machine. If we consider total manufacturing cost (F-1) and total weighted completion time (F-2) objectives simultaneously on a single CNC machine, making appropriate processing time decisions is as critical as making job sequencin...
Evaluation and selection of case tools: a methodology and a case study
Okşar, Koray; Okşar, Koray; Department of Information Systems (2010)
Today’s Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) technology covers nearly all activities in software development ranging from requirement analysis to deployment.Organizations are evaluating CASE tool solutions to automate or ease their processes. While reducing human errors, these tools also increase control, visibility and auditability of the processes. However, to achieve these benefits, the right tool or tools should be selected for usage in the intended processes. This is not an easy task when the vas...
Spectrum Pooling in MmWave Networks: Opportunities, Challenges, and Enablers
Boccardi, Federico; Shokri-Ghadikolaei, Hossein; Fodor, Gabor; Erkip, Elza; Fischione, Carlo; Kountouris, Marios; Popovski, Petar; Zorzi, Michele (2016-11-01)
Motivated by the specific characteristics of mmWave technologies, we discuss the possibility of an authorization regime that allows spectrum sharing between multiple operators, also referred to as spectrum pooling. In particular, considering user rate as the performance measure, we assess the benefit of coordination among networks of different operators, study the impact of beamforming at both base stations and user terminals, and analyze the pooling performance at different frequency carriers. We also disc...
Process based information systems evaluation: Towards the attributes of "pRISE"
Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Bilgen, Semih (2007-10-31)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of information systems evaluation that augments the frequently reported prescriptive (cost/benefit) analysis approaches. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a qualitative case perspective and derives a framework for substantive information systems evaluation factors (PRISE). Three empirical formulations are considered and a comparison made to determine the content and context of the findings. Finding...
Capacity and tool allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems
Bilgin, S.; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2006-06-01)
This study addresses an allocation problem that arises in the semiconductor industry and flexible manufacturing systems where the tools should be loaded on computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines to process a number of operations. The time and tool magazine capacities of the CNC machines and the number of available tools of each type are limited. The objective is to maximize the total weight of operation assignments. We present a mixed integer programming formulation of the problem and show that the pr...
