Complexity in Manufacturing Systems Part 1: Analysis of Static Complexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies static complexity in manufacturing systems. We enumerate factors innuencing static complexity, and deene a static complexity measure in terms of the processing requirements of parts to be produced and machine capabilities. The measure suggested for static complexity in manufacturing systems needs only the information available from production orders and process plans. The variation in static complexity is studied with respect to part similarity, system size, and product design changes. Finally, we present relationships between the static complexity measure and system performance.

Fuzzy Complexity Analysis with Conflict Resolution for Educational Projects
Evaluative and comparative analysis among educational projects remains an issue for administration, program directors, instructors, and educational institutes. This study reports a fuzzy complexity model for educational projects, which has two primary aspects (technical aspects and transparency aspects). These aspects may not be measured precisely due to uncertain situations. Therefore, a fuzzy...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to Compute the Complexity of a Static Production Planning (RESEARCH NOTE)
Complexity is one of the most important issues of any production planning. The increase in complexity of production planning can cause inconsistency between a production plan and an actual outcome. The complexity generally can be divided in two categories, the static complexity and the dynamic complexity, which can be computed using the ant ropy formula. The formula considers the probability of...

This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
