Tardiness Heuristic For Scheduling Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Ali S. Kiran, Sema E. Alptekin, A. Celal Kaplan
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
This paper evaluates the tardiness performance of a sampling-based adaptive heuristic in a dynamic manufacturing environment. A test bed, following a real world manufacturing system, has been developed. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in this simulated environment. After fine tuning the algorithm, it has been tested in various shop conditions. The results of these simulation studies are summarized.

Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)
The interwoven phases of the manufacturing process in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) require a carefully designed facility. Simulation modeling can be combined with other techniques to provide a rigorous methodology for CIM system design. This paper describes CIM, simulation ana their relationship. A case study demonstrates the described methodology in the design of a flexible manufacturing cell.
