Formation of the inter-operational logistics system for highly automated production structure

The article describes the features of the construction of inter-operation of logistics systems for the highly automated production unit, in which the industrial robot serving multiple concurrent pieces of equipment. The result of logistic solutions, which belongs to a class of intractable combinatorial problems, is to provide uninterrupted service robot manufacturing equipment.

Features of the multi-criteria optimization procedures of supply chains for generalized selection criteria (Part 2)

The paper investigates the specific features of new format of the procedures for determining the best solution to solve multicriteria optimization problems in the supply chain. This format includes: 1) modifying indicators of the particular criteria considering the corresponding attitude of decision maker (DM) to them and their importance for DM; 2) the selection on the basis of the criteria of traditional theory. The paper proves that the use of generalized selection criteria ensures stability of alternatives ranking to a change in preferences of DM on the importance of partial criteria.

Functional and process approach to execution of orders when servicing the customers (Part 2)
