A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach to Decision Analytics in Manufacturing and Industrial Automation Project Management
Abstract: Manufacturing and industrial automation projects face high uncertainty and risk arising from factors such as complex supply chains, equipment variability, and fluctuating production demands. If not properly managed, these uncertainties can lead to costly delays, unplanned downtime, and budget overruns that jeopardize project success. Given the shortcomings of deterministic planning in such volatile environments. If not properly managed, it can lead to costly delays and failures if not properly managed. …

Applying Kruskal's Algorithm in Supply Chain Management for Cost-Effective Network Optimization
Abstract: Transportation route optimization and cost reduction are major difficulties in today's dynamic and complicated supply chain systems. To produce economical and effective network designs, this study investigates the use of Kruskal's algorithm for supply chain network optimization. The algorithm guarantees that all supply chain nodes, including delivery hubs, warehouses, and distribution centers, relate to the lowest possible total transportation cost by building the minimum spanning tree (MST). The study shows …
