Framework for Target Classification and Strategy Derivation during Production Ramp-up

2020 IEEE International Systems Conference (SysCon), pp. 1–5

Abstract

Production ramp-up is an integral part of a product's life cycle and a crucial phase for a product's successful launch in the market. A stable production system is required to predict behaviour of a production system with respect to achieving ramp-up targets. The aim of this work is to develop a qualitative framework for classifying ramp-up targets at a more granular level beyond the target framework of quality, cost, and time. Stability analysis is approached at a local level by reducing ramp-up's complexity through discretisation into time intervals. Each interval can be analysed for stability with respect to a set of targets and disturbance factors. The envisioned objective is to combine, operationalise, and prioritise competing targets and corresponding disturbance factors for evaluating and adapting stabilising ramp-up strategies. The framework is further developed for building description models of ramp-up stability in context of a research project.
