Abstract. In this article, we propose a hybrid procedure based on bounded dynamic programming (BDP) assisted by linear programming (LP) to solve the mixed-model sequencing problem with workload minimization (MMSP-W) with serial workstations, free interruption of the operations and with production mix restrictions. We performed a computational experiment with 23 instances related to a case study of the Nissan powertrain plant located in Barcelona. The results of our proposal are compared with those obtained by Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP).
The motors for high-speed operation fed by frequency converters produce, first, a high amount of hysteresis and eddy losses in both stator and rotor iron, and secondly a temperature increase of the rotor due to current distribution in its rotor slots. Conventional calculation using analytical tools could not calculate precisely the required parameters in order to obtain an optimal model to build a prototype that its properties confirm that calculated values with the model. With a finite element method application for magnetic field and heat transfer, the required elements to design a new prototype could be elaborated very precisely and it is also a tool to prove the already existing motors for high speed applications. This allows us also to design energy efficient electrical drives according to the recommendations of the last EEMODS conference held in London in the year 1999 with the support of the European committee for energy saving.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
