Effective Models

With recent progress in developing more effective models for representing manufacturing processes, this paper presents an approach towards an open web-based repository for storing manufacturing process information. The repository is envisioned to include several new use cases in the context of information use in smart manufacturing. This paper examines several key benefits through usage scenarios engaging existing engineering activities. Based on the scenarios, the desired characteristics of an open web-based repository are presented, namely that it will be (1) complementary to existing practices, (2) open and net-centric, (3) able to enforce model consistency, (4) modular (5) extensible, and (5) able to govern contributions. A repository will support and motivate the ubiquitous and extended use of standardized representations of unit manufacturing processes in order to promote consistency of performance assessments across industries and provide a tangible, data-driven perspective for analysis-related activities. Furthermore, the paper presents additional benefits and possible applications that could result from a shared manufacturing repository.

Indicator Sets

The need for an open, inclusive, and neutral procedure in selecting key performance indicators (KPIs) for sustainable manufacturing has been increasing. The reason is that manufacturers seek to determine what to measure in order to improve environmental sustainability of their products and manufacturing processes. A difficulty arises in understanding and selecting specific indicators from a large number of stand-alone indicator sets available. This paper presents a procedure for individual manufacturers to select KPIs for measuring, monitoring and improving environmental aspects of manufacturing processes. The procedure is the basis for a guideline, being proposed for standardization within ASTM International. That guide can be used for (1) identifying candidate KPIs from existing sources, (2) defining new candidate KPIs, (3) selecting appropriate KPIs based on KPI criteria, and (4) composing the selected KPIs with assigned weights into a set. The paper explains how the developed procedure complements existing indicator sets and sustainability-measurement approaches at the manufacturing process level.

Early Use

Targeting the improvement of environmental analysis of manufacturing systems, ASTM 3012-16 provides guidelines for formally characterizing manufacturing processes. However, the difficulty that has arisen in the early use of the standard illustrates the need for intuitive tools for helping modeling experts to conform to the specified information model. In response, we present the Unit Manufacturing Process (UMP) Builder, a browser-based tool integrating symbolic mathematical and guided textual inputs, helping to consistently record and exchange manufacturing process models for environmental sustainability. The tool provides an initial layer of governance and verification with respect to the conformance to ASTM 3012-16. In this paper, we (1) detail the requirements with developing such a tool, (2) propose an improved schema to represent UMP models accommodating data-driven techniques, and (3) demonstrate the tool using a contributed model from an open challenge for modeling manufacturing processes.

Sustainable Products

The concept of integration of products and manufacturing processes in ecosystems is evolving from the consideration of environmental aspects to the integration of socio-economic aspects. On the other hand, the lifecycle of product and manufacturing process is the central point for organizing the activity that determines and materializes the environmental load of the product from cradle to grave. So far, there isn ́t an integrated model from the perspective of assessing the sustainability of products and processes with a focus on concurrent design. This paper develops a Holonic protomodel that constitutes an open architecture for lifecycle of sustainable products and processes that integrate the assess of products from social, economic and environmental perspective.

Development of a Part-Focused Manufacturing Process Ontology: Exploring Use and Applications

Limited Knowledge

Numerous ontologies have been introduced to represent and activate engineering knowledge across the development process. However, many of the ontologies in the manufacturing domain provide limited usability for individuals with limited knowledge of manufacturing processes available within the domain. Similarly, web-based e-sourcing portals lack the ability to adequately pair components whose developers have limited knowledge of manufacturing processes with manufacturers who are able to produce their product. Motivated by these current gaps, an ontology is proposed which is designed to enable both users with a limited knowledge and those with a preexisting knowledge of manufacturing to identify potential processes. The Part-focused Manufacturing Process Ontology (PMPO) is designed around the concept that manufacturing processes can be selected based upon desired features and attributes of a component/product. This differs from past ontologies that model the manufacturing process domain on the characteristics of the resources utilized during the process. Further, the ontology is populated with some manufacturer data and its functionality demonstrated using various example situations.

Collaborative Decision

A majority of information in manufacturing is the process information which presents mobility. Such information reflects transforming process form materials to products. This research establishes a manufacturing process information model that presents uniqueness, validness, completeness and generality based in PSL. The model can provide necessary process information and related product, material and resource information required by systems for integrating and collaborative decision making. It then enables to build a collaborative manufacturing decision making process model which is capable of utilizing the process information model. By defining logic procedure, data wrapping and service invoking in the decision making process model, multi-manufacturing systems collaborative decision making will be implemented. Such method of manufacturing process information modeling and decision making process modeling is illustrated by examples of the collaborative creation of a part process plan and an assembly process plan considering actual manufacturing environment.
