This report presents and describes a means of identifying where new or revised manufacturing standards may be required. It establishes a Reference Model for Shop Floor Production, which is then used as the basis for developing a methodology for the identification and extraction of areas for standards. The assumptions used to develop the Reference Model are:<\/p>\n
It is emphasised that the Reference Model:<\/p>\n
The Reference Model does not however provide a methodology for designing, implementing, operating and maintaining any existing or future manufacturing automation system. There may be a need to develop other Reference Models which can be used for those purposes, perhaps based on the work described in this report. The development of such models is beyond the scope of this technical report.<\/p>\n
The Reference Model described in this report is intended for use in the identification of standards within the Shop Floor Production area of manufacturing.<\/p>\n
Manufacturing is perceived to be all inclusive, from customer order through to delivery of the product. Twelve manufacturing functions have been identified as being a part of manufacturing. The following is a list of these twelve functions, together with illustrative, non-exhaustive activities typically related to these functions:<\/p>\n
As shown in Figure 1 and described in the definitions which follow in Section 2.2, these functions tend to be grouped under three main headings. Items 1) through to 4) are functions of the Enterprise concerned with strategic long term planning activities. Items 5) through to 11) are functions of the Facility, concerned with tactical planning of the production process, resource management and product modelling. The final item, 12) Shop Floor Production, is a function which involves the activities that actually create a physical product.<\/p>\n
The twelve manufacturing functions are interrelated and a single Reference Model covering all twelve functions would be desirable. After careful study of existing work, it was decided that the development of a single Reference Model covering every function of manufacturing was not manageable at this time.<\/p>\n
The area of Shop Floor Production on the other hand has shown an urgent need for and a willingness to adopt standards. The Reference Model described in this technical report is intended to guide the planning for and the development of standards to assist the integration of an automated Shop Floor Production system. It is recognised that the Shop Floor Production function will be required to interface with functions (and their activities) outside the scope of Shop Floor Production itself. Figure 2 is a clarification of how major functions of manufacturing might be interrelated.<\/p>\n
In the future, Reference Models for manufacturing that include Enterprise and Facility functions may be developed. Any future modelling work in the area of manufacturing should take account of the Reference Model for Shop Floor Production presented here and every effort should be made to ensure compatibility between the Reference Model for Shop Floor Production and any Facility or Enterprise Reference Models that may be developed.<\/p>\n
A means of identifying by a reference model where new or revised standards may be required. Restricted to discrete parts manufacturing but provides flexibility to incorporate new technologies and to apply to a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
