Recent trends in the flexible manufacturing systems are morphing cell control for the shop-wide production operation system and providing the integrated operation and execution system together with vendor-specific FMC/FMS platform. In these requirements, the shop-floor level operation system plays a role of coordinating the control activity of each cell, and has to provide flexibility for the complexity of mixed operations of various cells. This paper suggests a system architecture for the mixed environments of multi-cells and job shop, its corresponding enabling technologies based on comparative studies with other related studies and commercialized systems. This approach includes a process definition model considering the integration with upper BOM-BOP and external service modules, and reconfigurable device-level interface which provides dynamic interconnections with machine tools and cell controllers. The function modules and their implementation results are also described to provide the feasibility of the proposed approaches as the flexible shop-floor operation system for the multi-cell environments.

이 글에서는 Shop Floor 제어 시스템을 여러 가지 아키텍쳐 관점에서 살펴보았다. 이것은 생산 시스템의 자동화를 위해 SFCS가 가져야 할 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 설계 및 운영할 때 필요한 부분들과 이들의 통합 방법 등을 제시하였다. 제어구조는 여러 가지 Shop 개체, 즉 UCC들을 정의하고 그들 사이의 상호 작용에 관해 보여주는 방법론으로써, 서로 다른 제어 시스템과의 상호 작용 방법, 작동 상태, 내부구조, 다른 제어 시스템과의 상호 작용 방법, 작동 상태, 내부구조, 사용자와의 교류 방법 등을 포함하고 있다. 기능 구조는 각각의 제어 시스템들이 수행하는 기능들을 정의하고 이들 사이의 상호작용에 대해서 나타내고 있다. 또한 정보 구조는 Shop에서 어떠한 정보들이 생성되며, 이러한 정보들이 어떻게 변하여 가는가를 다루고 있다. 이와 더불어 제어 시스템 사이의 통신 방법론에 관해 다루는 통신 구조를 서술하였다. SFCS를 개발하기 전에 반드시 여러 가지 구조를 미리 설정하여 독립적으로 연구한 후 이들을 통합하는 작업을 거쳐야 한다. SFCS를 개발하는데 필요한 구조로써 본 논문에서 언급한 것 외에도 개발구조(Development Architecture), 실행구조(Implementation Architecture)등이 있다. 이것은 계속 연구되어야 할 과제이며 위의 언급한 구조들에 대해서도 미흡한 부분은 앞으로 연구가 활발히 진행되어야 할 것이다.

In this paper, a job shop scheduling system is developed which can cope with the changes of shop floor status with flexibility. This system suggests near optimal sequence of operations by using Genetic Algorithm which considers alternative process plans. The Genetic Algorithm proposed in this paper has some characteristics. The mutation rate is differentiated in order to enhance the chance to escape a local optimum and to assure the global optimum. And it employs the double gene structure to easily make the modeling of the shop floor. Finally, the quality of its solution and the computational time are examined in comparison with the method of a Simulated Annealing.

Focal companies (hereafter called buyers) adopt outsourcing practices from a supply chain management strategy to be competitive. Buyers face the bridge transfer after outsourcing contracts, and the monitoring practices would be the only control mechanism left to prevent losing control over the suppliers. This study suggests the set of monitoring practices (i.e., capability, activity and outcome monitoring) as the independent variables to enhance the buyer-supplier collaboration and supplier's performance. In addition the buyer's efforts of monitoring are assumed to influence the buyer's shop floor productivity mediated by the supplier's performance and buyer-supplier collaboration. The results showed that the monitoring practices are meaningful antecedents to the supplier's performance and buyer-supplier collaboration, which fully mediates between the monitoring practices and buyer's shop floor productivity. The mediating role of the buyer-supplier collaboration between activity monitoring and shop floor productive has been rejected, because the negative effect of activity monitoring on buyer-supplier collaboration conflicts with the positive impact of buyer-supplier collaboration on shop floor productive. The theoretical contribution and managerial implications with limitations have been discussed.

We suggest a distributed framework for task assignment in the computer-controlled shop floor where each of the resource agents and part agents acts like an independent profit maker. The job allocation problem is formulated as a linear programming problem. The LP formulation is analyzed to provide a rationale for the distributed task assignment procedure. We suggest an auction based negotiation procedure including a price-based bid construction and a price revising mechanism. The performance of the suggested procedure is compared with those of an LP formulation and conventional dispatching procedures by simulation experiments.

Utilizing the simulation approaches, the dynamic production scheduling system FOLS(Flexible flowshop On-Line Simulation) is developed under the flexible flowshop environment. When an interruption such as machine failure/recovery is occurred at the shop floor, the FOLS system performs evaluations for job selection rule oriented alternatives, and generates a dynamic production schedule based on the collected current shop floor data. For the case study, the FOLS system is applied to the printed circuit card assembly(PCCA) line and simulation results are reported.

생산시스템 기술이 점차 확대/발전되고, 가공시스템의 고 신뢰성, 효율성 향 상에 대한 관심이 집중되면서 시스템 관련하의 다양한 분야에서 체계적인 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그중 공구관리시스템에 관해서는 지금까지 많은 연구 가 되고 있으나 단순히 재고관리 관점에서 운용되거나, 부분적으로 open-loop 상황에서 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 측면에서 생산현 장에 적합하고, 공작기계와의 Interface를 고려하여 IC(Integrated Circuit)를 이용한 공구식별시스템을 구축하므로써 Manufacturing Database에서 운용되 고, 공작기계와도 공구정보를 송/수신할 수 있는 shop floor연계형 TMS(Tool Management System)를 개발하고자 한다.

The processes for manufacturing a product differ depending on the characteristics of the product, and the information used or generated by the processes also varies. To implement a flexible and configurable Manufacturing Execution System (MES), a Data Acquisition System (DAS) that takes into consideration the characteristics of the manufacturing system is required. In this study, we design an information acquisition system that can process the information on equipments of a shop floor in real-time and that is adaptive to the changes in the shop floor. The system has a data parser module for flexible processing of the equipment status, a data mapper module to link the equipment status with a manufacturing process, and an SOA-based data integration module to transmit the processed information to other information systems such as MES and ERP. From the results of pilot study, its maintenance is easy even if new equipment or new manufacturing processes are adopted or if the equipments are rearranged.

The manufacturing facility is generally operated by a pre-set program under the existing factory automation system. On the other hand, the manufacturing facility must decide how to operate autonomously in Industry 4.0. Determining the operation mode of the production facility itself means, for example, that it detects the abnormality such as the deterioration of the facility at the shop-floor, prediction of the occurrence of the problem, detection of the defect of the product, In this paper, we propose a manufacturing process modeling using a queue for detection of manufacturing process abnormalities at the shop-floor, and detect abnormalities in the modeling using SVM, one of the machine learning techniques. The queue was used for M / D / 1 and the conveyor belt manufacturing system was modeled based on ${\mu}$, ${\lambda}$, and ${\rho}$. SVM was used to detect anomalous signs through changes in ${\rho}$.

Production planning is one of the most important activities in shipbuilding enterprises. Shop-floor supervisors and planners still do not have enough information to effectively analyze shop operations because of the difference between production planning and shop-floor scheduling. In this paper, process analysis was conducted between production planning and shop-floor control to clarify the difference, and the necessity of the manufacturing execution system(MES) was derived in a shipyard. Therefore, the simulation-based ship production execution system(SPEXS) was defined by analyzing characteristics of MES. The architectural functions of the system were deducted from the process of requirement analysis. The SPEXS' framework was constructed on the basis of the architectural functions. This framework will provide more reliable production schedules and allow engineers to plan and control shop operations in real-time.
