“…This paper focuses on one element, just-in-time inventory control, which originated in Japan and is increasingly popular in the western world (Hall 1983, Monden 1983, New and Clark 1989, Schonberger 1986. For example, Oliver and Wilkinson (1988) reported that 64% of manufacturing companies listed in the UK Times 1000 index had implemented or were planning to implement JIT production.…”

“…These techniques include more versatile equipment, workers, and suppliers, as well as more manufacturing in small rather than large production lots, which keeps inventories low, catches mistakes quickly, offers customers more product variety, and matches product mixes more accurately with market needs [17,18,38,51,63,74].…”

This article discusses the evolution of production systems from craft or job shops to conventional mass production and then to flexible design and production systems. The major argument is that factory concepts and technologies have been evolving in two directions: First, they have become more versatile in the variety of products they can produce, resulting from innovations in production and design technology as well as management techniques. Second, companies have extended factory-like tools and techniques backward toward design operations, gradually bringing more discipline, automation, and thus efficiency into the realm of engineering work, including the relatively new field of computer programming. The result, in both manufacturing and design, has been a shift from simple scale economies, as in conventional mass production, to scope economies --efficiencies gained in the design and production of multiple products. n examination of how flexible-factory tools and techniques have been applied in large-scale software development illustrates these trends.

“…Rounding a matrix while considering the errors in column sums and partial row sums also arises in scheduling [6,18,19,24]. For this, however, one does not need our result in full generality.…”

We show several ways to round a real matrix to an integer one such that the rounding errors in all rows and columns as well as the whole matrix are less than one. This is a classical problem with applications in many fields, in particular, statistics.We improve earlier solutions of different authors in two ways. For rounding matrices of size m × n, we reduce the runtime from O((mn) 2 ) to O(mn log(mn)). Second, our roundings also have a rounding error of less than one in all initial intervals of rows and columns. Consequently, arbitrary intervals have an error of at most two. This is particularly useful in the statistics application of controlled rounding.The same result can be obtained via (dependent) randomized rounding. This has the additional advantage that the rounding is unbiased, that is, for all entries yij of our rounding, we have E(yij) = xij , where xij is the corresponding entry of the input matrix.
