This article aims at providing an integrated approach for optimizing quality control in International Manufacturing Networks (IMN) which can be characterized by consisting of numerous plants acting autonomously according to individual target system. A key challenge is ensure the overall process despite distributed value creation processes and differing systems dynamic environments. Hence, developed allows identifying potentials strategy using a stream-based method visualize characteristics...
For efficient, effective and economical production operation management in a manufacturing unit of an organization, it is essential to integrate the planning control system into enterprise resource planning. Today's systems suffer from low range data which results unrealistic delivery times. One root causes that influenced by uncertainties such as machine breakdowns, quality issues scheduling principle. Hence, necessary model simulate controls (PPC) with information dynamics order analyze...
Despite the major advances in finite-element (FE) modeling and system identification (SI) of extended infrastructures, soil compliance damping at soil–foundation interface are not often accurately accounted for due to associated computational demand inherent uncertainty defining dynamic stiffness. This paper aims scrutinize effect conditions SI process investigate efficiency advanced FE representing superstructure–soil–foundation For this purpose, measured, computed, experimentally...
Kurzfassung Eng verknüpft mit der Entwicklung zur Industrie 4.0 steht Begriff Smart Factory. Die nächste industrielle Revolution bietet jedoch nicht nur Potenziale in Bezug auf den Einzelstandort, sondern auch für die effiziente Vernetzung von Standorten zu einem Network. Entsprechend ist Lage, einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Management globaler Produktionsnetzwerke leisten. Im vorliegenden wird erläutert, welchen Einfluss das strategische Management, Gestaltung und Steuerung...
This paper presents an approach for reducing the cognitive load humans working in quality control (QC) production processes that adhere to 6σ -methodology. While 100% QC requires every part be inspected, this task can reduced when a human-in-the-loop process gets supported by anomaly detection system only those parts manual inspection have significant likelihood of being defective. shows good results applied image-based metal textile products.
Produktionsnetzwerke sind gekennzeichnet durch vielfältige Liefer- und Leistungsverflechtungen zwischen einzelnen unternehmensinternen Standorten sowie externen Partnern Zulieferern, die divergierende Ziele verfolgen. Die dargestellte Methodik erlaubt es Unternehmen, mithilfe eines gesamtheitlichen Ziel- Kennzahlensystems ihr Produktionsnetzwerk realitätsnah abzubilden, Verbesserungspotentiale zu identifizieren Gestaltungsmaßnahmen für das gesamte Netzwerk dynamisch bewerten.  ...
The increasing globalization forces manufacturing companies to organize their production in global networks, which include company internal sites as well locations of external partners and suppliers. Each site this network has an assigned strategic role according the specific location factors, i.e. qualification level employees or available process technology, defined specialization each site, regarding served market, final product realized processes. This defines individual target system...
Increasing globalization drives companies to produce in global networks, where each site acts autonomously according its individual target system, influenced by specific location factors or defined specialization. Despite distributed value creation processes, the overall production quality must be ensured. Hence, a simulation-based approach is presented, which allows for designing an optimal across-site control strategy evaluating different measures depending on systems of sites. At first,...
Quality problems of screwing processes in assembly systems, which are an important issue for operation excellence, needs to be quickly analyzed and solved. A network can very beneficial root cause analysis due different data from various factories. Nevertheless, it is difficult obtain reliable consistent data. In this context, paper aims develop a method data-driven oriented quality analytics considering global production network. Firstly, the overview structure introduced. Further,...
In the context of an increased globalisation sales and procurement markets companies are distributing their manufacturing activities in global networks. A key challenge is to ensure overall production quality despite distributed value creation processes complex Hence, a simulation model presented, which allows for evaluation control strategies Based on approach Value Stream Mapping (VSM), enhanced by quality-relevant elements, developed dynamically evaluate different taking individual target...
