Uncertainty in processing • disrupt the timing of material receipt • result in deviation of completion time from due date
Introduction • Complex product system • Assembly and product structure • Uncertain processing times • Cumulative and interacting • Problem : setting due date in complex product systems withuncertainprocessing times
Literature Review Two principal research streams [Cheng(1989), Lawrence(1995)] • Empirical method: based on job characteristics and shop status. Such as: TWK, SLK, NOP, JIQ, JIS Due date(DD) = k1×TWK + k2 • Analytic method: queuing networks, mathematical programming etc.by minimising a cost function
Literature Review Limitation of above research • Both focus on job shop situations • Empirical - rely on simulation, time consuming in stochastic systems • Analytic - limited to “small” problems
Simple Two Stage System • Product structure
Planned start time S1, S1i • Holding cost at subsequent stage • Resource capacity limitation • Reduce variability
Minimum processing time M1 • Prob. density func.(PDF)Cumul. distr. func.(CDF) • Big variance may result in negative operation times
Analytical Result • CDF of leadtime W is: FW(t)= 0, t<M1+S1; FW(t) = F1(M1) FZ(t-M1) + F1¢ÄFZ, t ³ M1 + S1. where F1 ¾ CDF of assembly processing time; FZ¾ CDF of actual assembly start time; FZ(t)= P1n F1i(t-S1i) ľ convolution operator in [M1, t - S1]; F1¢ÄFZ= òF1¢(x) FZ(x-t)dx
Leadtime Distribution Estimation Complex product structure • approximate method Assumptions • normally distributed processing times • approximate leadtime by truncated normal distribution (Soroush, 1999)
Leadtime Distribution Estimation Normal distribution approximation • Compute mean and variance of assembly start time Z and assembly process time Q : mZ, sZ2andmQ, sQ2 • Obtain mean and variance of leadtime W(=Z+Q): mW = mQ+mZ, sW2 = sQ2+sZ2 • Approximate W by truncated normal distribution: N(mW, sW2), t ³ M1+ S1. More moments are needed if using general distribution to approximate
Due Date Planning • Achieve a specified probability ÞDD* by N(0, 1)
Due Date Planning • Mean absolute lateness (MAL) ÞDD* = median • Standard deviation lateness (SDL) ÞDD* = mean • Asymmetric earliness and tardiness cost ÞDD* by root finding method
Industrial Case Study • Product structure 17 components 17 components
System parameters setting • normal processing times • at stage 6: m =7days for 32 components, m =3.5 days for the other two. • at other stages : m=28 days • standard deviation: s= 0.1m • backward scheduling based on mean data • planned start time: 0 for 32 components and 3.5 for other two.
Product Due Date • Simulation verification for product due date to achieve specified probability
Stage Due Dates • Simulation verification for stage due dates to achieve 90% probability
Discussion • Minimum processing time • Production plan • Stage due date
Conclusion • Complex product systems with uncertainty • A procedure to estimate leadtime distribution • Approximate method to set due dates • Used to design planned start times
Further Work • Skewed processing times • Using more general distribution to approximate, like l-type distribution • Resource constraint systems
