Does the Autonomation Policy Really Help in a Smart Production System for Controlling Defective Production?

Abstract

This study explains about a serial smart production system where a single-type of product is produced. This system uses an unequally sized batch policy in subsequent stages. The setup cost is not always deterministic, it can be controllable and reduced by increasing the capital investment cost, and that the production rates in the system may vary within given limits across batches of shipments. Furthermore, as imperfect items are produced in long-run system, to clean the imperfectness autonomation policy is adopted for inspection, which make the process smarter. The shipment lot sizes of the deliveries are unequal and variable. In long-run production system, defective items are produced in “out-of-control” state. In this model, the defect rate is random with a uniform distribution which is clean from the system by autonomation. In addition, in the remanufacturing process, it is assuming that all defective products are repaired, and no defective products are scrapped. The main theme of developing this model is to determine the number of shipments and the optimal production lot size to adjust the production rates and decrease the total system cost under a reduced setup cost by considering the discrete investment and make a serial smart production system. A solution procedure along with an advanced algorithm was proposed for solving the model. Numerical examples with some graphical representations are provided to validate the model.

Effect of Renewable Energy to Reduce Carbon Emissions under a Flexible Production System: A Step Toward Sustainability

“…Using of renewable energy can save more cost and also carbon-emission can be reduced. Flexible production was utilized to reduce the number of defective items and minimize the CE (Sarkar et al, [14]). It was found that the CE and the amount of defective products were reduced under the proper utilization of renewable energy.…”

“…Industries must take the initiative to consider environment sustainability along with their own profit. A flexible production system is considered to be a smart production system (SMPS) (Sarkar et al, [14]). By applying a flexible production rate, the industry has technologically improved the basic traditional system.…”

“…They utilized a game strategy but did not consider the concept of smart production. Taleizadeh and Mokhtarzadeh [20] proved that pricing strategy is more important for any product with or without warranty. They discussed both the online and offline price of products without any consideration of energy.…”

The Effect of O2O Retail Service Quality in Supply Chain Management

“…We consider imperfect production, which is why shortages arise and processes may produce defective items; thus, the proposed model can be extended by considering an inspection policy. Such a production process can utilize an advanced smart production process, if one considers automated inspection (see, e.g., Sarkar et al [54]), which is an interesting research gap. Instead of a single product, this model can also be extended by considering a multi-item production process or an assembled production process.…”

A Smart Production Process for the Optimum Energy Consumption with Maintenance Policy under a Supply Chain Management

“…Saxena et al [14] discussed a closed-loop SCM model in which, for reducing the waste, defective products were reworked and remanufactured for the secondary market. Sarkar et al [15] explained in their model of how autonomation policy control the out-ofcontrol situation while defective production took place. Their model is based on smart products with a marketing policy.…”
