To maintain the planned production volume for potential disaster, the Japanese manufacturing industry needs to develop and rebuilt the global product that is to strengthen QCD (Quality, Cost, and Delivery). The keys to fulfilling this need are automated facility, human skills to operate the facility (production operator), and a production system incorporated with production data systems that activate the facility and human system subject to each overseas plant conditions. Therefore, the author has created a new system that ensures the necessity of building a new production system for global production, eliminates ambiguity among the processes of production planning, production preparation, production and process control, and formalizes and builds the linkage among the processes. This paper is to reveal the effectiveness of the above-specified objectives of the newly created systems. Especially the highly accurate robot production system has been tested and confirmed at Toyota Motor Corporation.

Downtime has been considered as the most significant contributor to system inefficiency in manufacturing industry. During a downtime, the stoppage at the downtime machine will lead to impact on system production. In addition, it will also change system buffer levels, and thus alter system future behavior, which may lead to impact on system production in future time. For each downtime, a complete evaluation of its production impact during and after the downtime is important for deciding where to allocate limited resources for improving system production. However, the evaluation of downtime impact on system future production has not been studied. Motivated by this need, we investigate how each downtime would change the buffer levels and impact system production in the future. The concept of downtime settling time is proposed to reflect such impact. Given the downtime list, an analytical method is developed to estimate this impact of each downtime. Case studies are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The article analyzes the influence of errors from elastic deformations on the accuracy of processing in the conditions of complex automation. Different variants of multi-tool processing are considered: parallel processing, when different tools are alternately, one after the other, involved in the processing of the workpiece surfaces, and parallel-sequential processing, when different surfaces of the workpiece are processed simultaneously by several tools located in the working position. Design automation in machine-building production is part of the complex problem of automation of engineering work in all areas of the functioning of a modern production system. Therefore, when creating design automation systems, its connections in the general complex of automation of engineering activities in the production cycle should be taken into account. In general, the automation of the engineer's work is task planning, design and technological preparation of production, and management of the production system. The choice of favorable cutting modes for multi-tool processing is a difficult task, since, along with taking into account the features of each individual tool, it is necessary to make a general analysis of the entire setup, i.e. the set of tools used on the machine, and the distribution of processing transitions among them. Machine-building production is currently characterized by the desire to constantly update the range of released products. The requirements of multi-product manufacture can be met under the condition of its automation, which covers both the automation of production preparation and management. The article provides recommendations for reducing the error from elastic deformations in the conditions of complex automation.

In the current business environment, the costing system used within the firms has prominent impact on strategic decisions. High-quality cost data significantly increases the quality of firms' strategic decisions. The activity-based costing system has failed to satisfy the needs of firms operating in the competitive economic environment. The time-driven activity-based costing system is the developed version of activity-based costing system. Time-driven activity-based costing system is one of the most sophisticated costing systems that enable firms to accurately calculate the cost of goods and services. Time-equations are used in time-driven activity-based costing system to estimate the time consumed by each activity. This chapter aims to discuss main dynamics of time-driven activity-based costing system and provides an illustration of this costing system in the manufacturing industry. The case study demonstrates that time-driven activity-based costing system is useful in calculating idle capacity cost.

The growing context of globalization permanently increases pressure on the construction companies to improve their performances in order to resist to the constraints of competitiveness in the international market. It has become ineluctable to look for introducing a new alternative capable of bringing creative improvement to the traditional production system. This paper will relate mainly to the most relevant management techniques in the construction industry, and more specifically, the lean construction concept. Initially, we will determine the main characteristics of the construction industry compared to the manufacturing industry according to three levels: on-site production, one of a kind projects, and complexity. Subsequently, we will focus our attention on the main sources of waste in the construction industry. Finally, a rigorous comparative study will be carried out to show the contribution of the lean construction tools in the promotion of traditional construction especially at the level of the following factors: Creating value and eliminating waste; Planning and mutual coordination; Site organization. Lean construction as Last Planner System (LPS), Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Just-in-Time philosophy, Visual management (VM) and 5S have shown a great ability to improve the traditional production system through waste reduction, encouraging people involvement, ensuring a pull flow production, and promotion of a continuous improvement philosophy.

The process planning of a product represents in the manufacturing industry a major element that determines the level of economic performance of the company. The development and evaluation of process planning during the industrialization phase of a product can cause problems of quality, cost or manufacturing time. Therefore, process planning needs to be evaluated early, during the design phase. The aim of this article is to propose to a manufacturing company a hybrid approach of multicriterion decision support, allowing evaluating the concepts proposed by the designer to choose the best concept having the best industrial performance indicators, and to take into account the opinions of experts from different departments of the company. The multicriterion choice is made by the hybridization of the ROC method and the PROMETHEE method, and the decision criteria are indicators that express the performance of a process planning. Then, to illustrate the capacity of the model, a case study of a product is presented.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to explore the relationship between success parameters and implementation of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT); and second, to examine the changes required in manufacturing system as a result of AMT implementation. Design/methodology/approach The first order confirmatory factor analysis was performed to validate the presence of observed variables on their respective latent variable. Structural equation modeling is used to test the considered eight hypotheses. Findings The finding indicates that all five success factors are positively related to the AMT implementation. The redesign in the production system and organization strategy is directly related to the AMT implementation. The notable finding is the AMT implementation has no direct impact on the redesign of human resource, but it has mediated impact through the production system. Research limitations/implications The originality and reliability of data collected for research purpose merely depends upon information and the accessible resources. Originality/value The outcome of the present work gives rise to meaningful implications for researchers and practitioners as well.
