Many firms are trying to optimize their production and distribution systems separately, but possible profit increase by this approach is limited. Nowadays, it is more important to analyze these two systems simultaneously for the integrated supply chain management. This paper is a computational study to investigate the effectiveness of integrating production and distribution scheduling. We are interested in a multi-plant, multi-retailer, multi-product and multi-period industrial problem where the objective in solving production and distribution scheduling problem is to maximize the total net profit. Computational results on test problems of various sizes using the heuristic we developed show a substantial advantage of the integrated scheduling approach over the decoupled scheduling process. Sensitivity analysis on the parameter values indicates that, under the right conditions, the effectiveness of integrating production and distribution functions can be extremely high.

This paper presents an integrated order scheduling method with the improved DRP concept for multi-echelon distribution system that has the constraint of limited production capacity of producers. The proposed method reflects the dynamic characteristics of inventory level changes in the regional and central distribution center. The simulation is done with two models : the traditional DRP method and the proposed method presented in this paper. From the results, the latter is more efficient than the former in cost, customer's service level as well as balanced production load on each producer.

This paper aims at developing an integrated fleet management support system for industrial carriers who usually control the vessels of their own or on a time charter to minimize the cost of shipping their cargoes. The work is mainly concerned with the operational management problem of the fleet owned by a major oil company, a typical industrial carrier. The optimal fleet management problem for the major oil company can be divided into two phase problem. The front end corresponds to the production operation problem of the transportation of crude oil, the refinery operation, and the distribution of product oil to comply with the demand of the market. The back end is to tackle the fleet scheduling problem to meet the seaborne transportation demand derived from the front end. Relevant optimization models for each phase are proposed and described briefly. Then a user-friendly integrated fleet management support system is built based on the proposed optimization models for both ends under Windows environment. A case study reflecting the practices of fleet management problem for the major oil company is carried out by using the system.

As enterprises, based on the forecast of the customer's demand and collaboration with the suppliers, establish the integrated system directing supply, production, and distribution for the increase of productivity, Thus, this study intends to find the most urgent and critical factors for the improvement of the information system by externalizing factors affecting the operation of information system, suggest the process to improve the relevant functions of information system, and design the process. As a result of the analysis of the previous studies on the improvement of the information system, many studies were conducted on the improvement of ERP and SCM, yet there was no study conducted targeting about APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling). Thus, this study chose APS as the subject for the design of the process for the improvement for the information system.

최근의 급변하는 시장 상황의 변화와 제품의 수요에 대한 다양한 요구는 회분식 공정에 의한 다품종 소량생산으로의 전환을 가져오게 하였다. 이러한 회분식 공정은 주로 정밀 화학 관련 제품들인 의약품, 생화학 제품, 농약, 고분자 소재 등의 생산에 사용되어 왔지만, 근래에는 윤활유, 섬유, 석유 화학, 식품 같은 제품의 생산에도 널리 적용되고 있다. 그러나 회분식 공정은 원료의 공급, 제품의 가격 등과 같은 불확실 변수에 의한 조업의 변화가 자주 발생하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 조업의 변화는 조업시간의 변동과 각 부분별 예측량이 달라져 시장 경쟁력을 잃게 된다. 이에 공급망 상에 위치한 각 부서별, 기업별 협력과 조정을 통한 총체적 관점에서의 최적화를 추구하는 공급사슬 관리에 관한 관심이 고도되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 회분식 공정에 공급사슬 관리 기법을 도입하여 원자재의 구매에서부터 분배에 이르는 전과정에 대한 총체적인 최적해를 찾고 각 공급사슬간의 영향력을 조사, 분석하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 생산계획과 상세일정계획 모델의 통합과 수요에 대한 단계별 예측을 통해 시장 변화와 불확실 변수(uncertainty)에 대한 적절한 대응방안을 모색하여, 회분식 공정에서의 공급사슬 관리 모델을 개발하였다. 이와 함께 각각의 공급사슬간 인터페이스를 통하여 정보와 물류의 통합이 이루어지게 하여, 실제 주문과 수요의 변화에 대하여 생산계획, 구매계획, 일정계획 및 분배계획을 수립하여 안정적인 공급이 이루어지게 하였다.

The block assembly process takes more than half of the total shipbuilding processes. Therefore, it is very important to have a practically useful block assembly process planning system which can build plans of maximum efficiency with minimum man-hours required. However, the process plans are often not readily executable in the assembly shops due to severe imbalance of workloads. This problem arises because the process planning is done on block by block basis in current practice without paying any attention to the load distribution among the assembly shops. this paper presents the development of an automated hull block assembly process planning system which results in the most effective use of production resources and also produces plans that enable efficient time management. If the load balance of assembly shops is to be considered at the time of process planning, the task becomes complicated because of the increased computational complexity. To solve this problem, a new approach is adopted in this research in which the load balancing function and process planning function are iterated alternately providing to each other contexts for subsequent improvement. The result of case study with the data supplied from the shipyard shows that the system developed in this research is very effective and useful.
