Monte Carlo Simulation Technique

Monte Carlo Simulation Technique is a special technique where we can generate some numerical results without actually doing a test experiment. We can use the results of previous tests that have been done to determine the probability distribution of the parameters which are reviewed in the case. Then we use this information to generate parameter-parameter numerical [...]

Comparison of Push and Pull Manufacturing Systems

Manufacturing Systems are often categorized into two poles, namely push and pull. Moreover, since the emergence of the concept of Just-in-time (JIT) production in Japan. JIT is regarded as a representation of pull manufacturing systems are generally counter to the push manufacturing systems are often associated with the system of Material Requirements Planning (MRP). Both poles are considered to [...]

Taguchi Method

Quality in the manufacturing process is very important to obtain the efficiency and effectiveness. Taguchi method was introduced by Dr. Genichi Taghuci in 1940, a new methodology in the field of engineering that aims to improve the quality of products and processes as well as in keeping down costs and resources to a minimum. Target Taguchi [...]
