RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND PUBLICATIONS

His research activity has dealt with many topics of industrial engineering:

Development of tools for the introduction of Lean Manufacturing: particular emphasis has been placed on waste removal and identification, by means of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE);

Development of innovative approaches for Logistic partnership and Supply Chain Management: particular emphasis has been placed on Manufacturer to Manufacturer Vendor Managed Inventory (both in terms of mathematical modelling and contractual aspects);

Environmental and Sustainability analysis: LifCycle Analysis (LCA) has been used to: (i) assess the environmental impact due to the production, distribution, usage and disposal of industrial goods, (ii) the impact of innovative chemical processes. Furthermore a detailed analyses has been made to assess the economic and technical feasibility of a Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant for the combined generation of heat and electrical energy needed by a tissue mill located in the Lucca’s District (Italy).

Simulation and modelling of manufacturing system. For instance some mathematical models have been developed to: (i) define the optimal number of conwip cards in a flow shop system characterised by a batch producing machine, (ii) assess the routing flexibility of a layout, (iii) dynamically manage the inventories, by taking into account the evolution (i.e., the pattern) of the average and of the standard deviation of the demand.

During his research activity, Francesco Zammori has used the following techniques:

Artificial Intelligence Techniques (genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, neural networks);

Multi Criteria Decision Making Technique (AHP, ANP, DEA, TOPSIS);

Multi Variate Statistic (ANOVA, MANOVA, DOE, Principal Components Analysis);

Markov Chains;

Monte Carlo Simulation;

Life Cycle Analysis;
