A typical production line consisting of stages from sewing of elements through ironing of, a make-to-order garment manufacturer is studied via computer simulation. Specifically, issues of initial batches: (bundles) for later lot sizing and operator relocation among stages are addressed. Results indicate,,limited significance of-lot sizes in determining the expected delivery performance of the line due to heavily loaded assembly stage. However; results of experimentation indicate that a labor shifting policy found by a mathematical programming: model proves effective in improving the throughput rate without inducing much in-process-inventory carrying.

Simulator of an additive and subtractive type of hybrid manufacturing system Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2019-06-24) Additive Manufacturing (AM) facilitates the production of intricate objects despite its weakness in attainable part quality and fabrication speed compared to the conventional manufacturing methods. To alleviate the problems arising as a natural outcome of AM methods, hybrid technologies become viable options by employing concurrent manufacturing procedures, e.g. synergetic additive and subtractive manufacturing (SM) actions. Hybrid workstations have recently opened up new dimensions to 3D-printing industry,...
Extracting auxetic patterns from meshes for 3d printing Mert, Mehmet Levend; Sahillioğlu, Yusuf; Yaman, Ulaş; Department of Computer Engineering (2018) 3D printing is a manufacturing process which generates a physical, three-dimensional object from a digital design. In our day, there exist lots of devices, called 3D printers, having different working principles and using various materials for this manufacturing process. A model designed digitally can be transformed into a three-dimensional object in the real world by 3D printers. The elasticity of objects created by 3D printers depends on the materials used during manufacturing and the digital designs. If ...
Development of a web-based manufacturing application system for rotational parts Özsüer, Erhan; Anlağan, Ömer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) Developing process plans and part programs rapidly and correctly for CNC machine tools plays a vital role in manufacturing. This study is concerned with the development of a web-enabled virtual design and manufacturing application system for rotational parts. The object oriented methodology is used in the application development. Windows Distributed interNet Application (DNA) architecture which describes a framework of building software technologies in an integrated web and client-server model of computing,...
Crystal plasticity modeling of additively manufactured metallic microstructures Acar, Sadik Sefa; Bulut, Orhun; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2021-01-01) Different manufacturing processes such as flow forming, rolling, wire drawing and additive manufacturing induce anisotropic grain structure and texture evolution at the micro scale, which results in macroscopic anisotropic plastic behavior. Among these microstructures, development of columnar grain structure is quite common especially in additively manufactured metallic materials. A systematic micromechanical analysis is necessary to evaluate the influence of both grain morphology and texture (orientation a...
Order-Preserving Languages for the Supervisory Control of Automated Manufacturing Systems Nooruldeen, Anas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01) Automated manufacturing systems (AMSs) consist of computer-controlled interconnected manufacturing components (MCs) that are used to transport and process different product types. Each product type requires a certain sequence of processing steps in different MCs. Hereby, multiple product types can share processing steps on the same MC and the paths of different products types can overlap. In this paper we consider the modeling of AMSs in the scope of supervisory control for discrete event systems (DES). On ...
