This document describes a simulation program developed to monitor and improve the performance of a production system. The program calculates Overall Line Effectiveness (OLE) metrics to identify weaknesses in a line with multiple interconnected machines. It was applied to a case study of a bathtub manufacturing company with 6 departments. Data showed significant time losses from issues like breakdowns, setups, idle time, and rejects. The simulation software helped analyze this data and identify areas for improvement, increasing the OLE value from 46.84% to 68.94% after implementing recommended changes.
This document describes a simulation model developed to calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) for a generic production line. The model takes input data from XML files generated by an optimization model that minimizes costs based on factors like work in progress inventory and machine idle time. Both crisp and fuzzy models are implemented to calculate availability, performance, quality, and overall OEE. The fuzzy model uses Mamdani inference with triangular membership functions. Simulation results in VB and Excel are presented and compared to world class standards. Goal seek and scenario manager tools are used to determine input parameter changes needed to meet standards. The model provides a way to evaluate a production line's efficiency and identify areas for improvement.
La conducta humana está determinada por factores genéticos y ambientales. Existen tres grupos de factores que influyen en el desarrollo de la conducta: la herencia, la maduración y la socialización. Aunque sólo se pueden heredar características físicas, éstas pueden afectar directamente la conducta a través de la estructura cerebral. El origen de la vida ha sido objeto de numerosas teorías a lo largo de la historia. Hasta mediados del siglo XVIII, se creía que Dios había creado a los
1) The document lists required reference materials for a PhD research methods exam, including 2 reference books and 6 journal articles.
2) The reference books cover the philosophy of research design and synthesizing research styles.
3) The 6 journal articles discuss topics like the intellectual structure of business ethics studies, qualitative research, trends in theory building and testing, and the interplay between theory and method.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
