“…The selection of processing machines is a resource allocation problem. After determining the processing path of enterprise products, the processing sequence of different products in the same machine is determined (Andrade-Gutierrez et al, 2018). The processing sequence of green flexible production line of enterprise products is a typical sequencing problem.…”

In order to overcome the problems such as low efficiency of flexible production line and delay of production, this paper proposes a scheduling method of green flexible production line based on task priority. The mathematical model of green flexible production line scheduling is established with the constraints of non-interruptibility and machine uniqueness. The dynamic algorithm of task priority based on the number value of remaining operations is applied to the model to determine the priority distribution order. Through ant colony optimisation algorithm to determine the processing path, through the expression of pheromone and the establishment of ant colony solution to achieve green flexible production line scheduling. The experimental results show that the research method can effectively schedule the green flexible production line, and the machine utilisation rate is more than 90% of the processing level, which effectively reduces the production delay of the workpiece.

“…As to research regarding the die-casting process, studies of improving process e ciency and effectiveness in mechanical view points (e.g. [3][4][5][6][7][8]) were actively conducted rather than data-driven view points. The previous studies that applied data-driven mehod on the die-casting process can be categorized into three types based on their subjects: (1) studies regarding the casting parameters; (2) studies regarding data analytics; and (3) studies regarding the manufacturing system of die-casting factories.…”

This paper proposes data-analytics-based factory operation strategies for the quality enhancement of die-casting. We rst de ne the four main problems of die casting that result in lower quality: [P1] gaps between the input and output casting parameter values, [P2] occurrence of preheat shots, [P3] lateness of defect distinction, and [P4] worker-experience-based casting parameter tuning. To address these four problems, we derived seven tasks that should be conducted during factory operation: [T1] implementation of exploratory data analysis (EDA) for investigating the trends and correlations between data, [T2] deduction of the optimal casting parameter output values for the production of fair-quality products, [T3] deduction of the upper and lower control limits for casting parameter input-output gap management, [T4] development of a preheat shot diagnosis algorithm, [T5] development of a defect prediction algorithm, [T6] development of a defect cause diagnosis algorithm, and [T7] development of a casting parameter tuning algorithm. The details of the proposed dataanalytics-based factory operation strategies with regard to the casting parameter input and output data, data preprocessing, data analytics method used, and implementation are presented and discussed. Finally, a case study of a diecasting factory in South Korea that has adopted the proposed strategies is introduced.

“…Many industries have used Flexible Manufacturing Systems to improve their profitability and competitiveness with technology. One flexible system is defined as a computer-controlled system for integrating a Numerically controlled machine and the material handling system (Andrade-Gutierrez, 2018;Kumar, 2015).…”

Flexible manufacturing processes improve profitability and competitiveness for the company through an efficient process, with quality in a short time, and contribute to achieving low costs. One of the approaches that have been currently developed to improve the flexible manufacturing process is simulation. Simulation models consist of an assertive and powerful tool in strategic planning. It permits a controlled way of the company's reality so that it was possible to study and analyze the organization's current situation under several circumstances without altering the production's physical environment and involving low costs. Accordingly, this study's primary purpose was to develop a simulation model to verify bottlenecks' existence in the bearing manufacturing process. For this, a case study is presented, and it was used modeling/simulation with Arena Software as a research method. The results showed no bottlenecks in the manufacturing process.
