Abstract: A method of determining a configuration of production devices in a print production environment may include receiving, by a computing device, one or more production environment characteristics associated with a print production environment, receiving job processing information, identifying, by the computing device, a performance measure, receiving a desired value associated with the identified performance measure, receiving one or more parameters associated with a random search algorithm, and performing, by the computing device, the random search algorithm based on at least the received job processing information and the received parameters to determine a configuration of production devices in the print production environment that satisfies the desired value associated with the performance measure.

Abstract: A method of analyzing failures of a print device may include receiving failure information associated with a print device in a print shop. The failure information may pertain to a plurality of failures experienced by the print device over a period of time. The method may include generating, by a computing device, failure distribution information by, for each pair of consecutive failures in the failure information, determining a time to failure between the pair of consecutive failures, determining a repair time associated with each failure in the pair of consecutive failures, and setting the determined times to failure and the determined repair times as the failure distribution information. The method may include performing, by the computing device, a simulation of processing of one or more print jobs by the print device using the failure distribution information, and displaying one or more results of the simulation to a user.

Abstract: A method of determining a location of one or more print production items in a storage facility may include identifying one or more print production items used by one or more autonomous production cells in a print shop, and determining, by a computing device, a demand value associated with each of the identified print production items. The demand value may represent a frequency with which the print production item is used by the autonomous production cells over a period of time. The method may include grouping the identified print production items into one or more groups based on the autonomous production cell that uses the identified print production items, assigning each group to an autonomous storage cell, and determining a location of one or more autonomous storage cells based on the demand values associated with the print production items in the group associated with the autonomous storage cell.
