In this paper we propose a subgradient method for solving coupled optimization problems in distributed way given restrictions on the communication topology. The iterative procedure maintains local variables at each node and relies updates combination with consensus process. steps are applied simultaneously as opposed to standard sequential or cyclic procedure. We study convergence properties of proposed scheme using results from theory approximate methods. framework is illustrated an optimal...

Abstract An organisation's sustainability performance is influenced by its capabilities (skills, resources and competences) which in turn affects the of entire supply chain. However, recent research has not sufficiently explored convergence dynamic capabilities, circular economy, resilience Industry 4.0 concepts for manufacturing chains. Therefore, this study aims to identify how theory can enable resilient A qualitative process was deployed three stages: literature review, European project...

Standard representations for information entities common to manufacturing simulation could help reduce the costs associated with model construction and data exchange between other applications. This would make technology more affordable accessible a wide range of potential industrial users. To foster widespread use through reduction interoperability issues, Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD) specification was created. CMSD is standardised, computer-interpretable representation that...
