In the modern business landscape, the confluence of digital technologies with supply chain management (SCM) has ushered in an era of unprecedented change and opportunity. The concept of SCM, once rooted in traditional logistics and operational efficiency, has evolved into a sophisticated, technology-driven discipline. It is essential to leverage ad...

Throughout history, manufacturing systems paradigms have evolved significantly to meet the changing needs of society, from dedicated transfer lines to evolvabe production systems (EPS). Evolvable Production Systems are designed for swift response to market changes, pose a complex integration challenge due to component heterogeneity. Ontology-based...

The prediction of failures in a factory is now an important area of industry that helps to reduce time and cost of non-quality from the data generated from the sensors installed on production lines, this data is used to detect anomalies and predict defects before they occur. The purpose of this article is to model an intelligent production line cap...

The purpose of this study is to use the neural networks method in order to build a neural network system that studies and determines the cause of non-conformities. Companies are regularly confronted with quality problems stemming both from assembly mistakes and also during upstream stages in the process, like design, logistics, technical, and indus...

Design is a predominant phase in the life cycle of any product. Referring to a number of reviews, this chapter cites design support tools, focusing in particular on security system and operational safety. It tried to define these two notions (safety, security) as well as the difference between them. It proposed a design aid model that can be adopte...

The concept of circular economy (CE) aims to promote sustainable resource utilization, minimize environmental impacts, and create societal, economic, and business value. Simultaneously, the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 (I4.0) offers companies the opportunity to enhance their operational efficiency. Various process models have been p...

This document gives a general presentation of the TRIZ method. It then focuses on the method's technical contradictions. The Altshuller matrix is presented, along with the design criteria and proposed innovative solutions. An analysis of a flue gas steam boiler is carried out. The first step was to carry out a functional analysis (not exhaustive) t...

To keep competitiveness and adapt to the current trends of the market, Manufacturing companies consider Industry 4.0 a major opportunity. However, to adapt its enabling technologies, achieve the mentioned goals and move toward a smart manufacturing, they must draw up, a clear and coherent digital transformation roadmap. In this sense, the analysis...

Standing on the brink of the fourth industrial revolution, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are considered the basic components of the Smart Factory. One important challenge in cyber physical production systems is dynamic scheduling that can handle random disruptions such as failures, raw material shortages and quality defects. To achieve dynamic sched...

To compete, manufacturing companies need production systems that quickly respond to changes. To handle change drivers such as new product variants, re-configurability is advocated as a competitive means. To address this, New Product Development (NPD) process must be improved. New Product Development is managed by PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)...

The objective of this paper is to present a literature review about research carried out in recent years on the various approximate production optimization methods applied to the different industrial cases while guaranteeing approximate optimal solutions to conduct all the operations in minimal time and at a reasonable cost. The complexity of the p...

Companies are under great pressure to innovate and industrialize new products. In addition, the customization and complexity of good and services as well as the competitive environment require the optimization of new product development process (NPD), and choice and manufacturing process configuration. PLM or Product Lifecycle Management is the too...

In this paper, we propose to deal with the complexity of today’s collaborative product design processes using one of the recent and widely used modeling paradigms in industry which is Ontologies. In fact, in addition to their wide expressivity, ontologies provide many reasoning abilities. Therefore, we propose to explore their maturity in dealing w...

Let S be a subset of the algebra L(H) of all bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space H, and let f:S→[0,∞) be a radial unitary similarity invariant function. Under some assumption on S and f, characterizations are obtained for surjective maps ϕ on S satisfyingf(ϕ(T)∘ϕ(S))=f(T∘S)(T,S∈S), where the binary operation ∘...

Virtual enterprise integration and interoperability between its different information systems are the first systemic paradigms to achieve a successful collaborative product development. In such a context, the information flow has a centric place. Therefore, our aim in this paper is to propose a new ontology-based framework, exploiting the expressiv...

To realize a simultaneous design of a product and its optimized supply chain, effective integration among design collaborators is a must. With the emergence of ontologies as a new modeling paradigm in industry during the last decade, efficient integration and semantic interoperability among all the inter-actors of the extended enterprise have becom...

In an industrial context defined by more acute competition, performance measurement becomes a control tool. The Business Intelligence module of Manufacturing Execution Sys-tem (MES) software achieves Performances analysis function. However, the implementation of performance indicators in information system is a difficult problem. Indeed, the en-ter...

Les logiciels de pilotage de production MES assurent les fonctions de contrôle d'exécution et permettent de relier le système de gestion et le système de conduite et de supervision des différents machines. Parmi les fonctions assurées par un MES, il y a la fonction Analyse des Performances. Cependant, les entreprises ont besoin de méthodes pour bie...
