abstract
In a global market characterized by strong
competition and quickly changing boundary conditions, flexible
and reconfigurable production systems can rapidly react to both
endogenous and exogenous drivers. To this extent, it is necessary
to define a new production system model, which can combine the
most significant key business factors (KBFs), in order to meet the
specified objectives and the relevant KPIs and to control the
system. The model can be used within a cyber-physical system, to
properly support the different functions and take the right
decisions through simulation ICT tools. This research task is part
of PERFoRM (Production harmonizEd Reconfiguration of
Flexible Robots and Machinery), a European funded project,
which aims at developing an innovative manufacturing system
based on a new agile concept introducing the implementation of
methods, methodologies and strategies for transforming existing
production systems into plug-and-produce production ones based
on Cyber-Physical Systems technologies. In particular, this paper
aims at describing the relationships among the KBFs (Key
Business Factors), namely the drivers of the production system,
and the relevant KPIs. The model has been validated through an
industrial use case, in order to gain important information about
constraints and opportunities for improvement in other contexts.
This project has received funding from the
European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation program under grant agreement
No 680435.
