The integrated use of enterprise and system dynamics modelling techniques in manufacturing enterprises (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Agyapong-Kodua, K., Marzano, A., & Ratchev, S. (2012, May). The integrated use of enterprise and system dynamics modelling techniques in manufacturing enterprises. Presented at 45th CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems 2012, Athens, Greece

Enterprise modelling (EM) techniques support manufacturing process (re) engineering by capturing ‘as-is’ processes and based on perceived outputs, support the design of ‘to-be’ process models capable of meeting manufacturing systems requirements. On... Read More about The integrated use of enterprise and system dynamics modelling techniques in manufacturing enterprises.

Virtual ergonomics and time optimization of a railway coach assembly line (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marzano, A., Agyapong-Kodua, K., & Ratchev, S. (2012, May). Virtual ergonomics and time optimization of a railway coach assembly line. Presented at 45th CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems 2012, Athens, Greece

The recent drive towards timely multiple product realizations has caused most Manufacturing Enterprises (MEs) to develop more flexible assembly lines supported by better manufacturing design and planning. The aim of this work is to develop a methodol... Read More about Virtual ergonomics and time optimization of a railway coach assembly line.

Improving MTM-UAS to predetermine automotive maintenance times (2012)
Journal Article
Di Gironimo, G., Di Martino, C., Lanzotti, A., Marzano, A., & Russo, G. (2012). Improving MTM-UAS to predetermine automotive maintenance times. International Journal on Interactive Design and Manufacturing, 6(4), 265-273. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12008-012-0158-8

The preventive knowledge of serviceability times is a critical factor for the quantification of after-sales services costs of a vehicle. Predetermined motion time system are frequently used to set labor rates in industry by quantifying the amount of... Read More about Improving MTM-UAS to predetermine automotive maintenance times.
