A Novel Methodology for Assessing and Modeling Manufacturing Processes

Historically, researchers and practitioners have often failed to consider all the areas, factors, and implications of a process within an integrated manufacturing model. Thus, the aim of this research was to propose a holistic approach to manufacturing processes in order to assess their status and p...

For this purpose, a conceptual model is designed by identifying areas, flows, and indicators that are relevant to the assessment of a manufacturing system. Moreover, using the conceptual model, manufacturing systems can be modeled considering all related flows and decision-making options in the respective areas of production, maintenance, and quality. As a result, this model serves as the basis for the integral management and control of manufacturing systems in digital twin models for the regulation of process stability and quality with maintenance strategies.
