This article examines and improves the production control system of a firm that wants to operate its flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) in an untended third shift. The FMC consists of a machining centre, a pallet storage, a rail-guided transport vehicle for pallets and a clamping/unclamping station. The current production control system of the firm shows several deficiencies with respect to operating the FMC efficiently. This article proposes changes in the current production control hierarchy and introduces some new methods to solve major production control problems. The study illustrates the interaction between quantitative tools, organisational decisions and behavioural considerations. The approaches are general and can be used in other environments. 相似文献

Although much is known about changes in the conjugal family, little is known about trends in contact between parents and adult
(independently living) children. Using unique survey data, we study changes in contact with the mother and the father in five
western countries over a 15-year period (Austria, West Germany, Great Britain, the United States, and Italy). We describe
changes and we examine the role of compositional changes in the trend. We find no evidence for a decline in intergenerational
contact, in contrast to notions of individualism. In two countries, there has been an increase in contact with the mother
and in three countries no net trend is observed. Contact with the father has not changed. Other forms of contact (e.g., telephone
contact) have increased. Some compositional changes have had a downward pressure on the trend, leading to a decline in contact
(i.e., rising education, declining church attendance), but these pressures have been compensated by counteracting compositional
changes (declining sibsize) and by behavioral changes.
