This study develops a dynamic scheduling model for parallel machine scheduling problem based on genetic algorithm (GA). GA combined with discrete event simulation to minimize the makespan and verifies the effectiveness of the developed model. This research consists of two stages. In the first stage, work sequence will be generated using GA, and the second stage developed work schedule applied to a real work area to verify that it could be executed in real work environment and remove the overlapping work, which causes bottleneck and long lead time. If not, go back to the first stage and develop another schedule until satisfied. Small size problem was experimented and suggested a reasonable schedule within limited resources. As a result of this research, work efficiency is increased, cycle time is decreased, and due date is satisfied within existed resources.
This study looks at a company which introduced SAP program, one type of ERP systems, and how the firm copes with the problems which happen in business process. The research tried to solve the problem by IDEAL method of process software improvement methodo
The purpose of implementing supply chain management is quick decision making and effective execution on the affairs of management by sharing information. It is critical that companies are needed to innovating supply chain process in oder to maintain their international competitiveness. The improvement of supply chain process makes the S company to provide better products than any other companies do. This case study investigates the introduction and strategy development of supply chain management at the S company.
The goal of this study is to develop supply chain management strategies by reviewing best practices of advanced global enterprises and to find key performance indicators suitable for the S company. Four focused factors for the establishment of basic supply chain process are organizing task force team, changing to process type organization, definite assignment of role and responsibility, and constructing information system.
