Age replacement policy in the case of no data: the effect of Weibull parameter estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Age replacement is a common maintenance policy when wear-out failures occur, and it is characterised by periodic replacement of components. Data on time to failure (TTF), often modelled with the Weibull function, are ... -
Ageing workforce management in manufacturing systems: state of the art and future research agenda
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The workforce ageing phenomenon is recently affecting most of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries, due to a general ageing of their populations and a higher average retirement ... -

The complementary effect of lean manufacturing and digitalisation on operational performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The most recent trend manufacturers have embraced to seek operational performance improvements is the use of a wide range of digital technologies typically associated with Industry 4.0. However, few studies have investigated ... -
Cost modelling of onboard cobot-supported item sorting in a picking system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)For manual picking processes in warehouses and assembly line feeding, collaborative robots – cobots – hold a potential to support operators and, thereby, enhance performance. However, studies focused on the economic aspects ... -
Decision support model for implementing assistive technologies in assembly activities: a case study
(Journal article, 2021)The use of assistive technologies, such as digital instructions (DIs) and collaborative robots (cobots), can improve the productivity of assembly system. However, their implementation remains arbitrary. In this study, a ... -
Including rest allowance in mixed-model assembly lines
(Journal article, 2020)Ergonomics has a significant impact on productivity and human safety in manual assembly lines. For this reason, several studies in recent years have proposed including ergonomics in assembly lines. However, most works are ... -
A Mathematical Model for Equitable In-country COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Given the scarcity of COVID-19 vaccines, equitable (fair) allocation of limited vaccines across the main administrative units of a country (e.g. municipalities) has been an important concern for public health authorities ... -
Optimal follow-up policies for monitoring chronic diseases based on virtual age
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Follow-up policies following treatment are indispensable and effective in reducing the number of complications of chronic diseases, and hence the cost of treating complications, but bring additional follow-up cost inevitably. ... -
Sales and operations planning for delivery date setting in engineer-to-order manufacturing: a research synthesis and framework
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Sales and operations planning (S&OP) has emerged as a planning approach that integrates tactical level decisions across functions and supply chains while aligning day-to-day operations with long-term strategy through these ... -
Status of engineering change management in the engineer-to-order production environment: insights from a multiple case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Engineering Changes (ECs) are a fact of life for companies in the Engineer-To-Order (ETO) production environment. Various Engineering Change Management (ECM) strategies, practices and tools exist, but no explicit distinction ... -

The link between Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing: mapping current research and establishing a research agenda
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In recent years, Industry 4.0 has emerged as one of the most discussed concepts and has gained significant popularity in both academia and the industrial sector. Both Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing utilise decentralised ... -
Throughput-based importance measures of multistate production systems
(Journal article, 2018)Many production systems are multistate, with a finite number of performance levels that are between perfect functioning and complete failure. Importance measures are often used in the maintenance planning of complicated ... -
Tools and practices for tactical delivery date setting in engineer-to-order environments: a systematic literature review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The research interest in topics related to production and supply chain planning and control in engineer-to-order (ETO) environments has grown significantly over the last three decades. One of the strategically important ... -
Workers’ rest allowance and smoothing of the workload in assembly lines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Ergonomic aspects have a crucial role in manual assembly systems. They impact on the workers’ health, final product quality and productivity. For these reasons, there is the necessity to integrate them into the assembly ...
