Integrated definition modeling and Taguchi analysis of flexible manufacturing systems: aircraft industry application

Abstract

In this paper, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are studied. Firstly, an FMS design approach is proposed using integrated definition for function methodology. A systematic layout design and performance evaluation scheme is presented and detailed using this modeling framework. Then, the proposed approach is carried out with a case study from an aircraft industry to convert an existing traditional production system to FMS. To improve the system performance, a simulation-based method with Taguchi approach consisting of multiproducts is utilized. The objective is to find the machine and the product mix that achieves the maximum utilization while minimizing the cycle time. FMS system performance has been greatly improved by determining the most advantageous level of system components. It has also shown that FMS is a practicable production system in aircraft industry.

Comparative analysis of the main business process modeling methods: a bibliometric study

“…Among the publications on the IDEF methodology stand out the works with applications in manufacturing (Pinarbaşi et al, 2013), industrial (Kuo et al, 2012), supply chain (Kuo et al, 2014), building construction (Tas et al, 2008), etc. Pınarbaşı et al (2013 studied flexible manufacturing systems (FMS).…”

Taguchi̇ Yöntemi̇ni̇n Gida Sektöründe Çok Yanitli Problemi̇n Eni̇yi̇lenmesi̇nde Uygulanmasi

“…Lim ve diğerleri bununla ilgili detaylı bilgiler sunmaktadır [18]. Literatürde Taguchi Yöntemi hala etkin bir yöntem olarak kullanılmaktadır[ [19], [20], [21]]; ancak gıda sektöründeki uygulaması ise oldukça azdır. Gomez ve Castro [22], çözünebilir kahve kalitesinin iyileştirilmesinde, Al-Darrab ve diğerleri [23] yüksek kaliteli bisküvilerin üretilmesi amacıyla ve Yadegary ve diğerleri [24] ise şeker kamışı küspesinden sitrik asit üretiminde etkili olan değişkenleri belirlemek ve kitle üretimini optimize etmektir için çalışmalarında Taguchi Yöntemi'ni kullanmışlardır.…”
