본 글은 1999년 5월 CASA/SME Blue Book에 Jim Jordan 그리고 Fred Michel이 “Next Generation Manufacturing”라는 제목으로 게재한 자료를 편자의 의도에 따라 재편집한 것입니다. CASA(Computer and Automated Systems Association)는 SME(Society of Manufacturing Engineers)에서 활동하고 있는 하나의 분과로서 CIM Enterprise Wheel을 만들어 내 유명한 곳이기도 합니다. 저자는 본 글에서 앞으로 10여년 간 펼쳐질 차세대 제조 시스템에서는 지식경영이 가장 중요한 요소라고 정의하고 있습니다. 그리고 차세대 제조 시스템의 운영전략으로는 기업통합, 인간자원의 지적이용, 지식의 개발 및 유지, NGM 프로세스 장비 및 기술의 채용을 들고 있습니다.

This research presents the relationship among machining time, cycle time and demand rate in a cellular manufacturing system. The manufacturing cell produces part families by automated machines. This paper discusses the cases of increasing demand rate in an existing cell and designing cell based on the demand rate. This research developed an algorithm for decision making such as cycle time, machines and workers in order to minimize the total machine capacity and the number of workers for any given demand rate. The proposed algorithm was successfully applied for the design and operation of cell manufacturing with a good result.

In a fault-tolerant modern manufacturing systms characterized by the configuration, in which automated redundant machines prone to unexpected failures are interconnected with other complex subsystems such as AGV's, robots, computer control systems to produce complete parts, faulures together with repairs and reconfigurations should be considered as the three basic events to be modeled for computing the performance of manufacturing systems. In this papre, transient analysis is applied to modular cell manufacturing systems form a performability viewpoint whose modeling adantage is that various performanc e measures can be evaluated compositely in the context of application. The hypothertical modular cells are modeled firstly with hybrid decomposition method and availability measures as special cases of performability are computed and comments on performabililty modeling analysis are mentioned.

This paper describes two FMS, which were developed by SAEIL Heavy Industries. One is FMS for machining of circular parts, that are automobile's axle shafts. This system consists of 13 units, including 7 CNC machine tools. The other is FMS for machining of non-circular parts namely casted or steel block within size of 1.2 X 1.2 X 1.5m. This FMS consists of 8-machining centers, 1-automated warehouse, 2-unmanned Robo Trailers, and computer control room. All systems are functioning satisfactorily and so help greately towards automation of Korean industries.

The tire manufacturing process demands classification of tire types when the tires are transferred between the inner processes. Though most processes are being well automated, the classification relies greatly upon the visual inspection of humen. This has been an obstacle to the factory automation of tire manufacturing companies. This paper proposes an effective vision systems which can be usefully applied to the tire classification process in real time. The system adopts a parallel architecture using multiple transputers and contains the algorithms of preprocesssing for character recognition. The system can be easily expandable to manipulate the large data that can be processed seperately.

This paper is concentraed on a study of operation for multiple objectives in a automated manufacturing system with multiple machining cells . Largest Sum Processing-time First(LSPF) was developed in order to minimize makespan, mean flowtime and maximize mean utilization and compare with Ho and Chang's algorithm(HC) and Hunsucker and Shah's algorithm(HS). The results show that LSPF provides better soutions than HC at 78.2% and than HS at 67.8% of total problems to frequency . LSPF reduces 5.8% of makespan by HC and 22.1% of the value by HS and curtails 15.8% , 7.5% of mean flowtime by receptive algorithms(HC, HS). And mean utilization is also higher about 5.5% than HC and HS.

The heterarchical structure provides a more attractive solution to the conventional hierarchical structure as the density and level of distrubution of computing resources in manufacturing system expands. Tracing the evolution of control structures for automated manufacturing systems, this paper discusses the design principles for heterarchical system to reduce complexity, increase extendability, flexible configurability and suggests a good example of real-time adaptation using the concept of intelligent agent of manufac- turing entities and fault diagmosis system.

This paper outlines opportunities and challenges in the implementation of BPEL based WFMS(WorkFlow Management System) for the MES(Manufacturing Execution Systems) in semiconductor manufacturing. At present, the most MESs in semiconductor wafer fabrication shop have the problems in terms of application software integration, reactivity, and adaptability. When a plant has to produce new product mix, remodel the manufacturing execution process, or replace obsolete equipments, the principal road blocks for responding to new manufacturing environment are the difficulties in porting existing application software to new configurations. In this paper, the issues about WFMS technologies including BPEL standard applied for MES are presented. And then, we introduce the integrated development framework named nanoFlow which is optimized for developing the BPEL based WFMS application for automated manufacturing system. And we describe a WFMS implemented with using nanoFlow framework, review and evaluate the system.

In the automated manufacturing systems, the problem regarding how to make production activities flexible is even more important and critical than that regarding how to product large quantities, and the more flexible, if possible, the manufacturing system is, the more competitiveness and profitable factors it gets. This research, therefore, concentrated on establishing the flexibility and evaluating performance on the manufacturing system, operational flexibility is considered because of enabling the manufacturing system to get both the improvement of production rate and the adaptive ability of environment changes. For it, we used the analytical tool, GSPNs, which is a kind of timed Petri-Nets. GSPNs is competent enough to consider practical situations just like operation priorities, machine failure, randomness, concurrency and so on. Through the GSPNs analysis, it is confirmed that in the manufacturing system with operational flexibility is compatible with the traditional performances such as production rate or mean waiting time.
