“…These new technologies made flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) possible through the widespread adoption of computer numerical control (CNC) machinery and industrial robots. Furthermore, the technologies for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided processing planning (CAPP) led to computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) (Feng et al , 2001; Xu et al , 2018). The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) is mainly represented by the introduction of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Cloud Computing (CC) and Internet of Things (IoT) (Jasperneite, 2012; Kagermann et al , 2013; Lasi et al , 2014; Hermann et al , 2016; Qin et al , 2016; Li, 2017; Kumari et al , 2018).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the integration of industry 4.0 related technologies of telehealth within innovative housing models addressed to senior population, in order to facing the growing issue of a sustainable management of the population ageing.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative exploratory analysis of four case studies of senior cohousing facilities located in different countries was performed. The cases analysed were selected as pioneering cases in the adoption of innovative and economically sustainable organizational solutions.FindingsThe study made it possible to identify which are the common characters that successful experiences have highlighted. Although each facility needs to adapt to the social, cultural, demographic and economic context in which it is located, there are some recurring aspects, which have proved to be key success factors.Research limitations/implicationsThis research analyses only four cases. This suggests that the sample does not provide an exhaustive representation of the models adopted in this field. However, the study is an exploratory research and it can provide a basis for further analyses.Practical implicationsThis study provides valuable indications for the design and management of senior cohousing facilities, as regards the services to be offered, the network of services and facilities that can be complementary to the residences, the activities to be conducted and organized, the degree of involvement of the elderly in the planning of activities and services. With regard to the adoption of telehealth-related technologies, the study provides indications on which new technologies resulting from the industry 4.0 revolution are going to be adopted, that is, remote surveillance, remote diagnostics and the use of sensors and video. These technologies, thanks to the artificial intelligence, can detect anomalies and provide predictive analyses on the behaviour and health of the elderly.Originality/valueThe study made it possible to identify the key success factors for senior cohousing facilities regardless of the characteristics of the context in which they are located. In addition, it provides a first analysis of the potential of telehealth-related technological solutions, paving the way for further studies aimed at assessing how, thanks to new technologies, the level of economic sustainability of senior cohousing solutions can be improved.

“…The DSSs developed until now in the planning and scheduling area have used different KR formalisms: Markov decision processes [7,8], production rules [6,9,10], genetic and evolutionary algorithms [11,12], objectoriented techniques [9,10,13], agents [10,13], and Petri nets [10,14], among others, which usually deal with complex representations of the system behavior if a certain low abstraction level is required to deal with a proper plan. Furthermore, most of those techniques separate the knowledge on the structure from the knowledge on the behavior of the system, which usually is stored in relational databases, constraining in this way the possibility to explore the discrete event dynamic system (DEDS) performance in those situations not previously modelled, giving poor answers (estimations) during the "evaluation of alternatives" steps of a DSS.…”

Optimization of Logistic and Manufacturing Systems through Simulation: A Colored Petri Net-Based Methodology

Simulation models have proved to be useful for examining the performance of different system configurations and/or alternative operating procedures for complex logistic or manufacturing systems. However, when applying simulation techniques to increase the performance of those systems, several limitations arise due to their inability to evaluate more than a fraction of the immense range of options available. Simulation-optimization is one of the most popular approaches to improve the use of simulation models as a tool to obtain the best (optimal or quasi-optimal) decision variable values that minimize a certain objective function. However, despite the success of several simulation-optimization packages, many technical barriers still remain. The authors describe a new approach to integrate evaluation (simulation) methods with search methods (optimization) based on not only simulation results but also information from the simulation model.
