  2. Design optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_optimization

    Design optimization involves the following stages: [1] [2] Variables: Describe the design alternatives; Objective: Elected functional combination of variables (to be maximized or minimized) Constraints: Combination of Variables expressed as equalities or inequalities that must be satisfied for any acceptable design alternative

  3. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    This is because when a particle on a streamline reaches a point, , further on that streamline the equations governing the flow will send it in a certain direction . As the equations that govern the flow remain the same when another particle reaches a 0 {\displaystyle a_{0}} it will also go in the direction x → {\displaystyle {\vec {x}}} .

  4. Theory of Constraints in streamline manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Constraints_in...

    There are several practiced techniques applied to streamline manufacturing to reduce and or eliminate the constraining factor in the system. The methods applied to the systems all are designed to isolate the constraint, break it down into its components and find a suitable solution to reducing the negative impact the station has on the entire ...

  5. Automation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automation

    Many operations using automation have large amounts of invested capital and produce high volumes of products, making malfunctions extremely costly and potentially hazardous. Therefore, some personnel is needed to ensure that the entire system functions properly and that safety and product quality are maintained.

  6. Vertical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_integration

    Vertical integration is often closely associated with vertical expansion which, in economics, is the growth of a business enterprise through the acquisition of companies that produce the intermediate goods needed by the business or help market and distribute its product.

  7. Operating model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_model

    People, process and technology is one commonly used definition, [1] process, organization and technology is another. [2] An organization is a complex system for delivering value. An operating model breaks this system into components, showing how it works. It can help different participants understand the whole.

  8. Stream (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_(computing)

    A stream can be used similarly to a list, but later elements are only calculated when needed. Streams can therefore represent infinite sequences and series. [1] In the Smalltalk standard library and in other programming languages as well, a stream is an external iterator. As in Scheme, streams can represent finite or infinite sequences.

  9. Inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventory

    The concept of inventory, stock or work in process (or work in progress) has been extended from manufacturing systems to service businesses [1] [2] [3] and projects, [4] by generalizing the definition to be "all work within the process of production—all work that is or has occurred prior to the completion of production". In the context of a ...
