Comparisons between the Hybrid Taguchi-Genetic Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm

Koun-Tem Sun, Ching-Ling Lin, Hsin-Te Chan, Hong-Ming Kang, Man-Ting Ku
Hybrid Taguchi genetic algorithm can be used to solve the global continuous optimization problems. Aside from the global search capability of traditional genetic algorithm, it further combines Taguchi experimental method to explore the optimal feasibility of the offspring. Taguchi method is inserted between the crossover and mutation operations of the traditional genetic algorithm. Hybrid Taguchi genetic algorithm also seems to outperform the traditional genetic method in obtaining the optional ...

The Process Model for Shop Floor Management Implementation

Nico Hanenkamp
During the early 1990s, the Toyota Production System (TPS) became widely accepted across the industrialized world. Companies from different industries gained in experience by applying lean principles as well as by developing and refining customized approaches to optimize products and processes. From a practical standpoint, the implementation of TPS-elements such as one-piece-flow, visual standards or U-shaped layouts, can easily be identified on the shop floor. Meanwhile, most of the underlying ...

An innovative supplier and imitative buyer in the case of product life cycle

Manoj Kumar
This paper attempts to examine the product cycle in supply chain collaboration. In a competitive market environment, supply chains members seek to reduce cost by using strategic collaboration. This study derives a model for a cooperated supply chain in which the supplier is innovator and the buyer is product imitator. The innovation of suppliers can contribute to the long-term competitiveness for the supply chain. For many supply chains, product innovation is a major factor in the product cycle,...

A Novel Design for HEMS consisting of Sensor Network Nodes with Energy Harvesting and Wireless Power Transmission

Takashi Yoshikawa, Ikuo Awai
The HEMS is expected as one of the promising technologies to satisfy the demand for energy saving. Though it is understood useful and really used on some situations, it has not prevailed well into the public. The reason is considered to be the high initial cost of the equipment, low mobility of the system and regrettable unconcern for saving energy. In order to change the present situation, we have proposed to introduce a sensor network system into HEMS. The distributed sensors are easy to chang...

Model of forecasting public housing demand in the capital cities in China based on LS-SVMs

Ying Xie, Li Yang, Xiaohang Zhang
Public housing construction has contributed a lot to the economic development in China. Based on the fact that the demand of public housing must be reasonably forecasted, which is an important basis to ensure the sustainable development of the economy, in order to optimize public investment and land resources, there are many uncertain factors to change the medium and long-term middle-lower income families. Considering public housing construction scale typically energy-intensive and resource-inte...
