“…At the component interaction level, systems thinking has been applied using functional models to support software design [12], project management [13], flexible manufacturing systems development [14], business process mapping [15] and the management of complex assets [16]. This brings together a focus on function and context (e.g., IDEF0 modeling identifies constraints and resources associated with each function-see Figure 1) and supports the introduction of functional hierarchy.…”

Abstract:The owners/operators of complex assets such as production systems, military equipment and power stations aim to achieve high reliability with financial sustainability over long periods of time, and rely on a combination of internal and external socio-technical support systems to achieve this. Changes in the operational environment and technological advances may stimulate the need/opportunity for innovative reconfiguration of the assets and/or the related support systems. These assets and their support arrangements may be regarded as elements of a broader industry ecosystem. Drawing on analogies with natural ecosystems suggested in the literature, a concept of a service ecosystem is presented. Ten service system, management, engineering and design (SSMED) concepts elaborated by Spohrer and Kwan are represented in operational terms by interlinked networks of actors, of resources and of activities whose interconnections may change dynamically, combined with a business model perspective that indicates why particular configurations might make sense. Six support system case studies illustrate how effective service ecosystems are informed by multiple viewpoints including reliability assurance, business models and linkages with context-specific knowledge networks to stimulate the identification of innovative support solution architectures.

“…The authors have discussed the robot lattice structure, one of the most flexible manufacturing line structures, by using a timed Petri nets. In another study, Santarek and Buseif [2] have suggested an automatic logical control model for FMS design with structured analysis design techniques (SADT) and Petri networks. In their paper, they described an approach for manufacturing systems design which allowed automatic generation of controller logic from a high-level system design specification.…”

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.

“…Moreover, they presented a survey of the methodologies proposed in literature as showed in table 1. Bravoco and Yadav (1985); Ross (1985) Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) Marca and McGowan (1988); Ross and Schoman (1977); Ross (1985); Santarek and Buseif (1998) However, these modeling techniques are not designed to facilitate productivity measurement and analysis. Rather they focus on the availability of the unit/equipment, which is only one aspect of the system performance (Huang et al, 2002).…”

The research presented in this paper concerns the development of a methodology for monitoring and continuous performance improvement. The proposed approach is derived from the classical Deming cycle adapted to a real industrial environment. The approach consists of four phases: Monitor, Analysis, Action and Review (MAAR); these phases are summarized in a single information panel that allows to improve the monitoring process. This paper presents a discussion of the real case study application of the methodology in area manufacturing of ANSALDO STS S.p.A. The case study discussed here shows the application of basic principles, management tools and techniques towards performance improvement in a manufacturing plant. The innovative issues of the MAAR approach developed regard: the possibility to apply the methodology to wide fields of enterprises (as maintenance, quality management, design, financial, etc.) and the real-manufacturing orientation. The results show the real benefits obtained by the implementation of the proposed methodology.
