Abstract
Purpose: This paper considers a novel solution to one of the key problems in modern mechanical engineering – the modeling of modern manufacturing systems in the field of mechanical engineering. Design/methodology/approach: This article considers the choice of the model type of manufacturing systems. It is shown that from systemology’s perspective, all existing models are divided into imitating (replicating) and optimizing models, while the problem of designing manufacturing systems belongs to the class of semi-structured problems. Therefore, at the macro-designing stage it is expedient to use optimizing models, rather than the imitating ones. Findings and originality/value: This paper gives a broad definition of the technological process as a set of actions for constructing a product, designing the technological process for a sequence of shaping products and manufacturing. It defines production flexibility and the adaptation of the manufacturing system to changes in conditions. Originality/value: These solutions can be used in such fields of science and technology as automation in manufacturing, computer aided design (CAD) and modeling (CAM), computer aided engineering analysis, flexible manufacturing systems, flexible automation and production engineering.
Highlights
The theoretical and practical relevance of this paper consists in creating a new system of structural optimization of technological processes for planning and technical re-equipment of mechanical engineering facilities under the conditions of their scientific and technical development and restructuring, which implies the implementation of high-end technologies and differs from the known systems, firstly, in the object of process engineering and, secondly, in methodological, mathematical and computer support, based on latest scientific achievements.The conducted researches laid the foundation for the establishment of methods, recommendation and structure of the formation and use of automated manufacturing systems and the formal methods of operating management, planning and performance monitoring.The wide use of system models is a key feature of the systems analysis [1,2]
manufacturing systems (MS) is manufacturing, the manufacturing of goods that perform certain functions required by the consumer
The chain of individual systems is divided into three subsystems: the designer, the technologist, and the manufacturer
