Test sequencing in a complex manufacturing system
نویسنده
چکیده
Testing complex manufacturing systems, like the ASML TWINSCAN [2] lithographic machine, takes a lot of time and costs. Within the Tangram project, methods are investigated to reduce this test costs. In this article, we describe a method which is used to optimize a test sequence such that it takes the least amount of costs, or time. With several cases we demonstrate that this method can be used to optimize test sequences within the manufacturing of a TWINSCAN lithographic machine such that cycle time is reduced.

Integration and test plans for complex manufacturing systems
Testing complex manufacturing systems, such as an ASML [ASML, 2006] lithographic machine, takes up to 45% of the total development time of a system. The problem of which tests must be executed in what sequence to ensure in the shortest possible test time that the system works, the test sequencing problem, was already solved by Pattipati [Pattipati et al., 1991; Pattipati and Alexandridis, 1990]...

متن کاملTest time reduction by optimal test sequencing
Testing complex manufacturing systems, like ASML lithographic machines (ASML 2005), can take up to 45% of the total development time of a system. This test time can be reduced by choosing wisely which test cases must be performed in which sequence, without making investments in test cases or the system. With the test sequencing method, developed by (Boumen 2005, 2006), it is possible to make th...

Nowadays, flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is introduced as a response to the competitive environment. Scheduling of FMS is more complex and more difficult than the other scheduling production systems. One of the main factors in scheduling of FMS is variable time of taking orders from customers, which leads to a sudden change in the manufacturing process. Also, some problems are created in p...
