Abstract: Existing enterprises information systems seldom take different requirement tendency of different personnel into consideration. The idea of Manufacturing Information Active Recommendation was put forward to transfer proper information to proper personnel correctly and timely. The demand sequence behavior access pattern tree was constructed based on the different requirement of user's identity, location and business needs in Web environment manufacturing information. Historical situation similar to current situation could be sorted by its value, and the Behavior could be determined and output based on the association between the highly similar historical situations. Finally, an example was provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the information modeling process frequent sequence behavior access pattern tree and the model.

Abstract: The interest in environmentally conscious manufacturing has increased due to the goal of reducing environmental impacts and resource consumption in manufacturing system. However, little pays attention to the issue in the production operational process of manufacturing system. This paper introduces a new tool that integrates environmentally-conscious information into the job assignment activities. The objective of the tool is to assist production managers in their decision-making regarding resource-saving and environmentally-friendly assignment schemes. The system framework is built up with six components. Furthermore, the two key issues of the system are presented including the description of the information flow in the function level and the establishment of models in the model layer. The prototype of the system is developed and the demonstration is fulfilled in the gear machining shop floor.

Abstract: Aim at complex relationships among design tasks after task grouping for the collaborative product design process scheduling, the constraint conflicts of the task time windows would be generated in the task scheduling process, and the reasons of constraint conflicts are analyzed. Based on the least waiting times and time, a time window constraint conflict resolution algorithm is put forward, and the high parallel requirement is implemented for the collaborative design process.

Abstract: In this paper, a new thought on combination of the construction of emergency shelter facility and general civic public space facility is proposed. By deep analysis of the present problems and causes of the emergency shelter public facility construction, raising the new concept of Earthquake Elusion Public Facility from earthquake elusion site’s dual function of emergency shelter and civic public space. On the basis of deep and careful demand analysis of earthquake elusion site emergency facility and general facility of civic public space, proposing a brand new design idea of the combination the designs of the two. At last provides a design example and analyzes it.

Abstract: Selecting a plant location can be seen as a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this paper, a new decision model based on our proposed fuzzy Dempster Shafer method for selecting plant location under linguistic environments is presented. The decision result can be obtained through Dempster combination rule. It is shown that the proposed method can efficiently deal with uncertain information processing in MCDM. A numerical example to select plant location is used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract: Horizontal manufacturing collaborative alliance is a dispersed enterprise community consisting of several enterprises which produce the same kind of products. To correctly assign order among member companies of horizontal manufacturing collaborative alliance is one of the most important ways to improve the agility and competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises. For the order allocation problem, a bi-objective optimization model is developed to minimize the comprehensive cost and balance the production loads among the selected manufacturing enterprises. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is applied to solve the optimization functions. The optimal solution set of Pareto is obtained. The simulation results indicate that the proposed model and algorithm is able to obtain satisfactory solutions.

Abstract: Enterprise Digitalization depends to a large extent on models of enterprise process built for design and analysis. From the perspectives of product life cycle and enterprise informationization lifecycle, the paper outlined a modeling scheme with IDEF suite which guided multi-view modeling of Enterprise Digitalization and its process, and provided a total solution for Enterprise Digitalization, which would facilitate internal informationization systems of enterprise integrated with networked systems outside the enterprise to support business operations, and make enterprise manufacturing sectors integrated with external networked manufacturing systems and production equipments seamlessly.

Abstract: Appropriate selecting of process parameters influences the machining quality greatly. For honing, the main factors are product precision, material components and productivity. In view of this situation, a intelligence selection model for honing parameter based on genetics and artificial neural networks was built by using excellent robustness, fault-tolerance of artificial neural networks optimization process and excellent self-optimum of genetic algorithm. It can simulate the decision making progress of experienced operators, abstract the relationship from process data and machining incidence, realize the purpose of intelligence selection honing parameter through copying, exchanging, aberrance, replacement strategy and neural networks training. Besides, experiment was performed and the results helped optimize the theories model. Both the theory and experiment show the updated level and feasibility of this system.

Abstract: Job definition format (JDF) can carry out management and control during the whole printing processes while enterprise resources planning (ERP) system can help enterprises implement supply chain-based integrated management. Base on the analysis of JDF’s and ERP’s identities, according to their adaptability to the printing industry, we designed the combined system model of JDF workflow system and ERP management information system. Under the premise of the most optimal allocation of business resources, production management and information management of the whole printing process from order, production, and enterprise management to the logistics can be obtained.

Abstract: Workflow simulation plays an important role in successful implementation of workflow management. However, workflow simulation usually requires a certain amount of expertise and is used by simulation modeling practitioners rather than business analysis specialists or enterprise managers. So, it is prevented from becoming a mainstream analysis and evaluation tool of a workflow. In order to apply simulation to analysis, evaluation and optimization of the workflow performances, workflow process model for simulation is firstly defined and formalized. Then an approach of translating workflow process model into GPSS simulation model is presented so that workflow simulation model can be built automatically according to the workflow process model. Finally the supporting software tool system has been developed which shows feasibility of the proposed method
