Release Date Optimization in MRP Using Clearing Functions
Wolfgang Seiringer, Klaus Altendorfer, Reha Uzsoy
This paper integrates a clearing function (CF)-based release planning approach into Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to address its limitations in modeling capacity constraints…
Optimizing Energy Consumption in Stochastic Production Systems: Using a Simulation-Based Approach for Stopping Policy
Balwin Bokor, Klaus Altendorfer, Andrea Matta
In response to the escalating need for sustainable manufacturing, this study introduces a Simulation-Based Approach (SBA) to model a stopping policy for energy-intensive stochastic…
How Periodic Forecast Updates Influence MRP Planning Parameters: A Simulation Study
Wolfgang Seiringer, Klaus Altendorfer, Thomas Felberbauer +2
In many supply chains, the current efforts at digitalization have led to improved information exchanges between manufacturers and their customers. Specifically, demand forecasts ar…
Energy Price and Workload Related Dispatching Rule: Balancing Energy and Production Logistics Costs
Balwin Bokor, Wolfgang Seiringer, Klaus Altendorfer +1
In response to the escalating need for sustainable manufacturing practices amid fluctuating energy prices, this study introduces a novel dispatching rule that integrates energy pri…
Evaluating Production Planning and Control Systems in Different Environments: A Comparative Simulation Study
Wolfgang Seiringer, Balwin Bokor, Klaus Altendorfer
Selecting the appropriate production planning and control systems (PPCS) presents a significant challenge for many companies, as their performance, i.e., overall costs, depends on…
