Object-oriented modeling of control system for agile manufacturing cells
Article Abstract:
A manufacturing entity object (MEO) modeling scheme is proposed for cell control system. The scheme is characterized by its reusability, directivity, shell-core structure and easiness. With regards to its easiness, the object-oriented structure of the MEO allows the model to be implemented easily with the aid of an object-oriented language. With regards to its directivity, the behavior and structure of real manufacturing entities guide the development and implementation of manufacturing entity objects.

Unit load size as a function of the degree of overtaking
Article Abstract:
Matching problems occur in some types of assembly systems when overtaking reaches a level that substantially disrupts job sequence and variable processing times. The presence of synchronous components can be handled properly in assembly by using buffers of materials. The sequence deviation (SQD) is also introduced as a measurement guide to overtaking levels in the manufacturing process.

A method for the design of flexible assembly systems
Article Abstract:
A method has been developed to help system designers improve the design process for flexible assembly systems. Designers are motivated by profit gains in their drive to continuously improve assembly design. Successful design improvements or changes account for all relevant parameters at the design process' early stage to assure designers enough time to adopt required changes.
