  2. Cellular manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_manufacturing

    Cellular manufacturing is a process of manufacturing which is a subsection of just-in-time manufacturing and lean manufacturing encompassing group technology.The goal of cellular manufacturing is to move as quickly as possible, make a wide variety of similar products, while making as little waste as possible.

  3. Standard time (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_time_(manufacturing)

    Line balancing (or production leveling): the correct number of workstations for optimum work flow depends on the processing time, or standard, at each workstation. Materials requirement planning (MRP): MRP systems cannot operate properly without accurate work standards.

  4. Assembly line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_line

    Designing assembly lines is a well-established mathematical challenge, referred to as an assembly line balancing problem. [3] In the simple assembly line balancing problem the aim is to assign a set of tasks that need to be performed on the workpiece to a sequence of workstations. Each task requires a given task duration for completion.

  5. Methods engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_engineering

    Equations of synchronous and random servicing as well as line balancing are used to determine the ideal worker to machine ratio for the process or product chosen. Synchronous servicing is defined as the process where a machine is assigned to more than one operator, and the assigned operators and machine are occupied during the whole operating ...

  6. Transfer line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_line

    The line can synchronous, meaning that all parts advance with the same speed, or asynchronous, meaning buffers exist between stations where parts wait to be processed. Not all transfer lines must geometrically be straight lines, for example circular solutions have been developed which make use of rotary tables, however using buffers becomes ...

  7. Processor affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_affinity

    Processor affinity can effectively reduce cache problems, but it does not reduce the persistent load-balancing problem. [2] Also note that processor affinity becomes more complicated in systems with non-uniform architectures. For example, a system with two dual-core hyper-threaded CPUs presents a challenge to a scheduling algorithm.

  8. IBM Basic assembly language and successors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Basic_assembly...

    The application program interfaces of IBM's mainframe operating systems is defined as a set of assembly language "macro" instructions, that typically invoke Supervisor Call (SVC) [e.g., on z/OS] or Diagnose (DIAG) [on, e.g., z/VM] instructions to invoke operating system routines. It is possible to use operating system services from programs ...

  9. Production line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_line

    A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory where components are assembled to make a finished article or where materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption.
