Measurement of Manufacturing System Complexity Based on Key Resources

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the previous complexity measurement models of manufacturing system (MS), all the resources in enterprise were taken into account, so the result is that the models required large amount of information, which makes the model difficult to expand in practice. As the manufacturing system efficiency is determined by key resources. Only improving the key resources production efficiency can the MS efficiency be improved. So the manufacturing system complexity has to been measured based on the key resources firstly. The Optimized Production Technology is applied to the complexity measurement of MS and a new complexity measurement was proposed. With the information entropy, a static complexity measurement model and a dynamic model are built based on key resources. A case was used to verify the feasibility of the developed model. The advantages and shortcomings of the manufacturing system's complexity measurement were deduced based on key resources at last.
