Analyses of serial production line systems for interdeparture time variability and WIP inventory systems
(International Journal of Operations and Quantitative Management, 2004)This paper investigates the well-known and extensively studied unpaced production line problem for the interdeparture time variability and work-in-process (WIP) inventory. The primary objective is to examine the relationships ... -
Analysis of the (Q, r) inventory model for perishables with positive lead times and lost sales
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2008)We consider a perishable inventory system with Poisson demands, fixed shelf lives, constant lead times, and lost sales in the presence of nonnegligible fixed ordering costs. The inventory control policy employed is the ... -
A case study in marketing-manufacturing interface
(Bilkent University, 1995)The coordination between the marketing and manufacturing departments plays an important role in the implementation of the corporate strategy. The conflicts and gaps between these two departments impede the successful ... -
A case study in marketing-manufacturing interface : Ateş Mobilya
(Bilkent University, 1994)The coordination between Marketing and Manufacturing departments is a key determinant of an organization’s level of competitiveness. The lack of coordination between these two functions can be attributed to various ... -
A comparative study of cell formation in cellular manufacturing systems
(Taylor & Francis, 1994)This paper analyses and evaluates six of the promising cell formation techniques by comparing and contrasting them in relation to the scores of efficiency indices of the exceptional elements and inner-cell densities, ... -
The demand for energy in the large-scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan
(Elsevier BV, 1990)The extent of interfuel substitution, as well as substitution between energy and non-energy inputs, in the large-scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan has been examined. The model has been estimated in two stages. In the ... -
Determinants of the marketing-manufacturing interface
(Bilkent University, 1993)Marketing and manufacturing departments play important roles in day-today implementation of the corporate strategy. The conflicts and interfacial gaps between these two functional departments will impede the successful ... -
Development of multi-axis laser micromachining system suitable for machining non-linear contoured surfaces
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)In recent years, studies on manufacturing systems have proved the importance of cooperation of positioning systems with laser cutting technology. The performance of the manufacturing system can be improved by utilizing ... -
Dynamic lot sizing and tool management in automated manufacturing systems
(Elsevier, 2002)The overall aim of this study is to show that there is a critical interface between the lot sizing and tool management decisions, and these two problems cannot be viewed in isolation. We propose "ve alternative algorithms ... -
The energy demand in the manufacturing sector of Pakistan: some further results
(Elsevier BV, 2000)The purpose of this study was to re-examine the role of energy in the manufacturing sector of Pakistan using a Partial Equilibrium Approach. GL restricted cost function along with the factor demand equations were estimated ... -
Marketing manufacturing interface in Biltepe AS
(Bilkent University, 1996)Marketing manufacturing interface in Biltepe Inc. is analyzed by a qualitative research tool in this thesis. The competitive advantages of an organization relies on the coordination between marketing and manufacturing ... -
Marketing-manufacturing interface in Turkish tractor industry
(Bilkent University, 1995)Marketing-manufacturing interface in Turkish tractor industry is analyzed by a quantitative research tool in this thesis. The study determines two factors that have effect on the marketing-manufacturing interface and ... -
Money and productive efficiency: evidence from a high-inflation country
(Routledge, 2007)This paper examines how money balances held by manufacturing firms affect their efficiency in generating sales revenue in a high-inflation economy. The analysis employs data from Turkish firms to estimate a stochastic ... -
On the distribution of throughput of transfer lines
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2000)Transfer lines simply characterise the interrelationship of manufacturing stages with their buffers and they are used to model the key features of such manufacturing environments with simplifying assumptions. There is a ... -
Optimization of a flow shop system of initially controllable machines
(IEEEInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2008-12-22)We consider an optimization problem for deterministic flow shop systems of traditional machines with service costs penalizing small service times. A regular completion-time cost is also included so as to complete jobs as ... -
Patterns of productivity growth and the wage cycle in Turkish manufacturing
(Routledge, 2001)In this paper we investigate the distributional consequences of the post-1980 accumulation patterns and technological change in the Turkish manufacturing industries. We utilise two quantitative techniques. First, we make ... -
Real wages, profit margins and inflation in Turkish manufacturing under post-liberalization
(Routledge, 2005)This article reports investigations into the behaviour of gross profit margins (mark-ups) in Turkish manufacturing industries for the post-1980 liberalization period in relation to price inflation, trade liberalization ... -
Receding horizon control of mixed line flow shop systems
(2011)We consider reliable mixed line flow shop systems that are composed of controllable and uncontrollable machines. These systems are assumed to receive arrivals at random instants and process jobs deterministically in the ... -
Service time optimization of mixed-line flow shop systems
(IEEE, 2010-02)We consider deterministic mixed-line flow shop systems that are composed of controllable and uncontrollable machines. Arrival times and completion deadlines of jobs are assumed to be known, and they are processed in the ... -
Tool allocation and machining conditions optimization for CNC machines
(Elsevier, 1996)In the literature, there exist many variations of machining economics problem in terms of modelling approaches and solution methodologies. However most of the existing studies focus on the single machining operation which ...
