Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Integer Programming Procedure for Assembly System Design Problems
U.s. News and World Report Nicholson, et al. Business Week Schefter As these articles indicate, a wide variety of auto mated equipment for part fabrication, assembly, and material handling is now available for manufacturing and assembly systems. For instance, robots are being widely used in welding, spray - painting, and material-handling applica tions, while other types of automation such as numerically-controlled machining centers are performing part fabrication. In addition, robots are expected to work along side assembly workers in many future assembly systems. These' technological advances have created a new set of opportunities for management scientists, with regard to both the design and the operational control of automated systems.
