Study on Structural Complexity of Transmission Case Production Line

Abstract

Complexity level is one of the factors that affect manufacturing system design and control, so study on complexity quantification is gaining more attention. A method that combined information entropy and system structure factor is introduced to measure the complexity of transmission case production line. The method can realize structural complexity comparison among various production lines that provide reference for manufacturing system design, and in practice systems designed with lower complexity level are controlled and managed more easily and accurately.
