Alternative logistic concepts and their effect within the company and the supply chain

This document presents findings from the simulation of a focused factory at Volvo Aero, Trollhättan. A series of experiments were carried out, aimed at testing a range of alternative logistic concepts. Each concept describes an approach to the control of workflow within the business, for the purpose of determining its effect within the company, and in the wider context of the supply chain

Streamlining the formation of virtual enterprises in the aerospace industry

The virtual enterprise is an ideal solution to the pace of change in modern markets, where increasingly well-informed customers demand high performance, customised products, with continuing downward pressure on prices and lead times. In meeting customer requirements of this kind, the level of investment demanded of an individual manufacturer may be prohibitive, but success can be achieved through collaboration between businesses. Engineering across organisational boundaries poses many problems, but these have been the subject of study for some years, and are relatively well-supported by systems such as e-business portals, neutral file formats and shared data environments. If lead times are to be further reduced, it may be wise to target the virtual enterprise formation stage, rather than the operations that are to be conducted once the enterprise has formed. Within the VIVACE (Value Improvement through a Virtual Aeronautical Collaborative Enterprise) project, one task is to demonstrate how a significant reduction in the time required for a virtual company to create a business proposal might be achieved. This paper identifies some key obstacles, and discusses potential solutions

Parametric factory simulation for the responsive enterprise

Simulation offers a powerful way to investigate the boundaries of what can be achieved by a manufacturing system, demonstrating the impact of schedules and policy decisions such as the placement of buffers and the size of safety stocks. Unfortunately, the construction of factory models at the necessary level of detail is a time-consuming process, requiring specialist skills. This paper describes a novel approach to the representation of logistic control within a simulated factory, and its implementation in a study of a business unit at Volvo Aero in Trollhättan, Sweden. Several innovative features were built into the model, making it possible for users who were not simulation experts to explore a broad range of scenarios. The resulting model architecture, as described in this paper, takes simulation out of the computer lab and places it in the hands of managers, as an enabler of the responsive enterprise

ANALISA OPTIMASI DISTRIBUSI BARANG BANGUNAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE LEAST COST PADA UD . RAMA JAYA PERDAGANGAN

Masalah transportasi adalah masalah pemrograman linier pada umumnya berhubungan dengan distribusi suatu produk dari beberapa sumber, dengan penawaran terbatas menuju beberapa tujuan dengan biaya tertentu pada biaya transportasi minimum. Tujuan dari model transportasi adalah merencanakan pengiriman suatu dari sumber tujuan sedemikian rupa untuk meminimalkan biaya transportasi. Beberapa teknik perhitungan sebagai bahan pertimbangan yang baik dalam membuat suatu kebijakan agar biaya pendistribusian minimal dapat tercapai oleh suatu usaha panglong, dalam hal ini untuk menentukan solusi awal yang layak digunakan metode  Least Cost ( biaya minimum)

PENERAPAN MULTIMEDIA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DI TK ANANDA BAGAN BATU

Abstrack - The interest in reading children in a conventional manner is currently less attractive to the age of kindergarten children (tk) so that technological tools are perceived visually and in motion so that children are more interested and easy in the learning process. The development of multimedia applications as a means of assisting devices helps children to be more creative and interested in learning and can stimulate the thinking of children in the field of education taught in children's garden schools. The programming language used is the VB programming language and is supported with photoshop in the design of existing images as well as sound recorders for recording sound built into the application.   Keywords - multimedia, vb, t

Implementasi Metode Transportasi North West Corner Untuk Optimasi Biaya Pengiriman Barang Pada UD. Naga Timbul

Delivery of goods or services is an important part of the activities of a government agency or a particular company. The problem that is often faced with shipping is the issue of cost. The delivery system is a series of activities that determine the company where the products are sent to consumers to be marketed with the aim of facilitating product marketing. The delivery system is one of the main supports after the production process thus realizing the optimization of shipping costs. UD. Naga Timbul is a company engaged in the fertilizer sector. Goods produced will be sent to the branch company UD. Naga Timbul. The method in this study is to use the North West Corner (NWC) method to calculate the cost of shipping goods. The application consists of three parts, namely, filling in the data supply and location of demand, as well as filling in data on the cost of shipping goods. To build this system application design, Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 and Mysql software are needed as database creation
