Sustainable production has become a significant concern over recent years due to environmental considerations and material scarcity. Consequently, the closed-loop supply chain concept has been developed to reduce waste, decrease environmental issues, and maximize material utilization. Manufacturers attempt to add different recovery strategies to the traditional production system and close the forward production flow to create a closed-loop supply chain. In this research, a hybrid production system applied in an electronics manufacturing company is studied. Two recovery strategies, remanufacturing and recycling, are considered to make a hybrid production system. Although remanufacturing and recycling are recognized in the literature as promising recovery strategies, the profitability of using them for the manufacturers is still controversial. This research presents a system dynamics model addressing the analysis of a hybrid production system in an electronics manufacturing company. The objective of the system dynamics simulation is to evaluate impacts resulting from using remanufacturing and recycling on two critical parameters, including total profit and cost per unit. For this purpose, the model is run using parameters and information related to a laptop manufacturing company to compare production scenarios, evaluate the system performance in terms of economic benefits, and provide insights for policymakers for designing policies that align with the manufacturers' benefits.

This book is about dynamical systems that are "hybrid" in the sense that they contain both continuous and discrete state variables. Recently there has been increased research interest in the study of the interaction between discrete and continuous dynamics. The present volume provides a first attempt in book form to bring together concepts and methods dealing with hybrid systems from various areas, and to look at these from a unified perspective. The authors have chosen a mode of exposition that is largely based on illustrative examples rather than on the abstract theorem-proof format because the systematic study of hybrid systems is still in its infancy. The examples are taken from many different application areas, ranging from power converters to communication protocols and from chaos to mathematical finance. Subjects covered include the following: definition of hybrid systems; description formats; existence and uniqueness of solutions; special subclasses (variable-structure systems, complementarity systems); reachability and verification; stability and stabilizability; control design methods. The book will be of interest to scientists from a wide range of disciplines including: computer science, control theory, dynamical system theory, systems modeling and simulation, and operations research.

A graduate-level textbook, Hybrid Dynamical Systems provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the theory of hybrid systems. It emphasizes results that are central to a good understanding of the importance and role of such systems. The authors have developed the materials in this book while teaching courses on hybrid systems, cyber-physical systems, and formal methods. This textbook helps students to become familiar with both the major approaches coloring the study of hybrid dynamical systems. The computer science and control systems points of view – emphasizing discrete dynamics and real time, and continuous dynamics with switching, respectively – are each covered in detail. The book shows how the behavior of a system with tightly coupled cyber- (discrete) and physical (continuous) elements can best be understood by a model simultaneously encompassing all the dynamics and their interconnections. The theory presented is of fundamental importance in a wide range of emerging fields from next-generation transportation systems to smart manufacturing.Features of the text include: extensive use of examples to illustrate the main concepts and to provide insights additional to those acquired from the main text; chapter summaries enabling students to assess their progress; end-of-chapter exercises, which test learning as a course proceeds; an instructor’s guide showing how different parts of the book can be exploited for different course requirements; and a solutions manual, freely available for download by instructors adopting the book for their teaching. Access to MATLAB and Stateflow is not required but would be beneficial, especially for exercises in which simulations are a key tool.

This book is concerned with a most important area of industrial production, that of analysis and optimization of production lines and networks using discrete-event models and simulation. The book introduces a novel approach that combines analytic models and discrete-event simulation. Unlike conventional piece-by-piece simulation, this method observes a reduced number of events between which the evolution of the system is tracked analytically. Using this hybrid approach, several models are developed for the analysis of production lines and networks. The hybrid approach combines speed and accuracy for exceptional analysis of most practical situations. A number of optimization problems, involving buffer design, workforce planning, and production control, are solved through the use of hybrid models.

This research investigates the problems of system design in a hybrid cellular manufacturing (CM) system with loop layout. A hybrid CM system comprises a cellular layout and a functional layout. In labor-intensive industry, the functional layout is organized into production modules. The operator of every module is able to perform different kinds of tasks for one specific function. However, each operator is assigned to only one of the operations. This manufacturing system has emerged due to the high product variety in fashion industry that is usually highly labor-intensive. This study presents a new approach for system design to improve system performance. A three-phased simulation model is derived. The bottleneck machines of a cell are located in the first phase, and the cell workload and system workload are balanced in the second and third phase. Incorporating simulation models and optimum seeking procedure, the appropriate values of controllable parameters are proposed according to the objective of the production. The three-phased method is applied to the hybrid CM system of a footwear factory.
