1. Tactical Production Planning

11. Facility location

• Facility location in the plane (Steiner-Weber model)
• Discrete Facility location

12. Performance evaluation of Flexible Manufacturing Systems

• Performance evaluation of an FMS (Static Allocation Approach)
• Performance evaluation of an FMS (Mean-Value-Analysis)
• Production center: machine interference model)

13. Performance evaluation of Flow Production Systems

• Two-stage paced transfer line with buffer: geometric failures and repairs
• Asynchronous flow line: two stations with a finite buffer(Markov model)
• Asynchronous flow line: three stations with finite buffers (Markov model)
• M stations - unlimited buffers: M/M/1-models
• M stations - unlimited buffers: GI/G/1-models
• M stations - Approximation formulas for homogenous flow lines with limited buffers
• M stations - Limited buffers: decomposition approach with M/M/1-queueing models (blocking, starving)
• Simulation of a flow line with limited buffers

14. Production line balancing with priority rules

15. Facility layout planning
