Temporal Analysis of Manufacturing Systems Using Non-stochastic Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using automated methods to analyze the temporal behavior of manufacturing systems has proven to be essential and quite bene-cial. Popular methodologies include Queueing networks, Markov chains, simulation techniques, and discrete event systems (such as Petri nets). These methodologies are primarily stochastic. Performance evaluation mandates results which are probabilistic in nature (such as the average rate of part deliveries) and relies on probabilis-tic inputs (such as the probability of breakdown, or the distributions associated with a manufacturing process). This paper examines non-stochastic analysis, which we argue can be useful for verifying correct operation. We model manufacturing systems using timed event graphs which are similar to decision free Petri nets augmented with timing information, and present an example that demonstrate the eecacy of non-stochastic analysis.

Stochastic extension of cellular manufacturing systems: a queuing-based analysis
Clustering parts and machines into part families and machine cells is a major decision in the design of cellular manufacturing systems which is defined as cell formation. This paper presents a non-linear mixed integer programming model to design cellular manufacturing systems which assumes that the arrival rate of parts into cells and machine service rate are stochastic parameters and descri...
متن کاملSolving a Stochastic Cellular Manufacturing Model by Using Genetic Algorithms
This paper presents a mathematical model for designing cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) solved by genetic algorithms. This model assumes a dynamic production, a stochastic demand, routing flexibility, and machine flexibility. CMS is an application of group technology (GT) for clustering parts and machines by means of their operational and / or apparent form similarity in different aspects ...

متن کاملBehavioral study of piston manufacturing plant through stochastic models
Piston plays a vital role in almost all types of vehicles. The present study discusses the behavioral study of a piston manufacturing plant. Manufacturing plants are complex repairable systems and therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of a piston manufacturing plant using stochastic models. The stochastic model is an efficient performance evaluator for repairable systems. In...
