Flexibility and the One-Off Product Challenge of CPPS

Elements of Advanced Manufacturing Theory

Abstract

The recently experienced hype concerning the so-called “4th Industrial Revolution” of production systems has prompted several papers of various subtopics regarding Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). However, important aspects such as the modeling of CPPS to understand the theory regarding the performance of highly non-ergodic and non-deterministic flexible manufacturing systems in terms of exit rate (ER), manufacturing lead time (MLT), and on-time delivery (OTD) have not yet been examined systematically and even less modeled analytically.

This chapter mainly bases on the paper: Exploiting Virtual Elasticity of Production Systems to Respect OTD—Part 3: Basic Considerations for Modeling CPPS Characterized by Non-ergodic Order Entry and Non-deterministic Product-mix for Fully Flexible Addressable Workstations, AJOR, 2022, 12, 19–63.
