Performance analysis in a probabilistic re-entrant for an environmental stress testing operation

Performance characterization of complex manufacturing systems with general distributions and job failures

“…Goddard and Tavakoli, 2008), electronics testing (e.g. Omar and Kumar, 2008) and several other applications. Li et al (2007) proposed a graphical approach to evaluate the performance of a single station in semiconductor manufacturing.…”

Analytical Approximations to Predict Performance Measures of Manufacturing Systems with Job Failures and Parallel Processing

“…On the other hand, manufacturing systems with stochastic flow of jobs between different stations due to job failures [86] is also observed. Under this scenario, the jobs entering the system have different repeated cycle requirements, contrasting with the deterministic re-entrant lines where jobs would have fixed cycle needs [80].…”

“…This method allows measuring the cycle times in terms of lots clusters. Omar and Kumar [80] extended their work in [63] improving the formulation in order to avoid the correction factor that is case dependent, simplifying the computation process. The objective of this work was to develop a method to determine the total cycle time and mean throughput in the same manufacturing system for a given lot loaded into the system.…”
