Additive Manufacturing Technologies Cost Calculation as a Crucial Factor in Industry 4.0

Abstract: The article analyzes the newest trends in the industry and production research. Making insight in the most popular research domains and changes in the industry enabled the authors to formulate a thesis that the manufacturing world strode in the new revolution based on the Additive Manufacturing technologies. It can be stated that a particular gap exists in the field of production engineering that needs to be fulfilled by developing appropriate solutions for the factories integrating AM technologies in their workflow. The paper proves this statement by showing numbers of publications within sub-domains in scope of “individualization of production”. As a basic discouragement on the way to the new production paradigm, it was recognized a deficiency of accurate and versatile cost calculating models. The existing approaches were assessed and assigned to their best application which enabled to indicate a direction of the future research.

A large scale system approach to the production planning and control problem

Abstract: The present paper is devoted to the mathematical formalization of the production planning and control problem in manufacturing systems. A hierarchical decentralized approach to the production planning in a sequence of workshops is proposed and contrasted with respect to the well-known MRP and OPT techniques.

Information Systems for Use by Production Management in Smaller Manufacturing Enterprises

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research project designed to investigate the possibilities of developing generic software for use by production management in smaller manufacturing enterprises (SME). This has exploited the latest development in fourth generation languages (4GLs).A survey was carried out to establish the current state-of-the-art in computer assisted production management (CAPM) and to identify key areas to be included in the development. The results of this led to the inclusion of materials management, production planning (imaterials and resources), production progressing and costing as the basic cores in the system developed. The choice of 4GL was seen as a crucial factor to the success of the project. The wide availability of these meant that a formalized procedure needed to be developed to select that used by the project team: DAT AFIT DP4. To facilitate the generic nature of the software, and to contribute to its flexibility, a general model of the production process was constructe...
