The proliferation of just-in-sequence (JIS) deliveries has raised the vulnerability of assemblies to costly production stoppages or rework due to missing components. Through a comprehensive real-time supply chain monitoring systems, these supply issues can be detected early and affected orders removed from planned assembly sequences in time to avoid production disturbances. Using simulation ana...

In this paper, we investigate the usage of BehaviourInteraction-Priority version 2 (BIP2), a component-based modelling framework, for specifying feature-oriented systems. We evaluate BIP2 in the context of the Feature Interaction Problem and quantify the amount of work needed to add features to an existing system (i.e., in terms of rework to existing features, and work to identify and specify i...

This paper describes a system-level SoC energy consumption estimation method based on a dynamic behavior of embedded software in the early stages of the SoC development. A major problem of SOC development is development rework caused by unreliable energy consumption estimation at the early stages. The energy consumption of an SoC used in embedded systems is strongly affected by the dynamic beha...

The failure of information systems has been partially the result of incorrect or inefficient rework in the development of the systems. If greater transparency can be made in the decision making process then the number of examples of incorrect or inefficient rework could be reduced. Transparency in the process of development can be achieved through identifying and tracking the components of the ...

Abstract Feedback loops are a key characteristic of engineering design processes that increase complexity, time to market, and costs. However, some feedback loops, due iteration, have positive impact on outcomes (i.e., the quality final design), so worth costs incurred. Other resulting from rework, also but their current projects, in terms urgency interruption, is high. Thus, overall, drawing s...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) failure results in about 35% of integrated circuit (IC) field return and causes several billion-dollar losses to the semiconductor industry per year. Most modern ICs include on-chip ESD protection circuitry which comes at cost I/O performance. Static charge accumulation during transport handling may exceed limits this cause damage ICs. Modern advanced packaging tec...

 The paper considers an integrated production, inspection, preventive maintenance, and inventory problem and determines the optimal inspection interval, inspection frequency, and production quantity yielding the maximum unit expected profit in an imperfect production process with inspection time and reworking. When the process in an out-of-control state produces a certain percentage of non-con...

Due to unreliable production facility and stochastic preventive maintenance, deriving an optimal production inventory decision in practice is very complicated. In this paper, we develop a production model for deteriorating items with stochastic preventive maintenance time and rework using the first in first out (FIFO) rule. From our literature search, no study has been done on the above problem...
