Throughput capacity (TC) is defined as the total amount of material processed or produced by the system in the given time. In practice, full capacity performance for industrial equipment is impossible because the failures are affected and cause a reduction. Therefore, failure interruptions, especially critical ones (bottlenecks), must be detected and considered in production management. From the point of production view, the bottleneck has the lowest production or performance. Most of the previous works used the availability and related importance measures as performance indicators and prioritization of subsystems. However, these measures cannot consider system production in their prioritization. This paper presents a bottleneck detection framework based on system performance and production capacity integration. The integrated approach is used to assess the loading and hauling subsystems of Golgohar Iron Mine, Iran. As a result of the analysis, the hauling subsystem identifies the system's bottleneck.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
