چکیده

Manufacturing systems are complex. They consist of many interrelated subsystems and elements. This study proposes and tests a quantitative measure for the manufacturing complexity that results from system design, referred to as internal static manufacturing complexity. The quantitative measure, ISMC, consisting of eight measurable factors identified from the literature. A large set of simulation experiments, each modeling a general batch-type manufacturing system, was employed to test the reliability of the complexity measure ISMC.

Determination of optimum of production rate of network failure prone manufacturing systems with perishable items using discrete event simulation and Taguchi design of experiment

This paper, considers Network Failure Manufacturing System (NFPMS) and production control policy of unreliable multi-machines, multi-products with perishable items. The production control policy is based on the Hedging Point Policy (HPP). The important point in the simulation of this system is assumed that the customers who receive perishable item are placed in priority queue of the customers w...

Design and Implementation of a Control System for a DC Servomechanism with an Internal Dither Created by a Limit Cycle

Purpose of this paper is designing of a positional angle control system for a DC servomechanism. The servomechanism system consists of a direct current (DC) motor, a motor driver, a measuring sensor, and a control board to adjust angular position. The motor in the servomechanism has a non-linear element called dead-zone. Presence of dead-zone causes the nonlinear behavior of system. Injecting a...

A rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers

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...

A Scheduling Model for the Re-entrant Manufacturing System and Its Optimization by NSGA-II

In this study, a two-objective mixed-integer linear programming model (MILP) for multi-product re-entrant flow shop scheduling problem has been designed. As a result, two objectives are considered. One of them is maximization of the production rate and the other is the minimization of processing time. The system has m stations and can process several products in a moment. The re-entrant flow sho...
