For the multi-item and small lot size production mode and single machine job shop scheduling sequence independent setup time, many setup times are difficult to estimate accurately, which influences the ability to achieve accurate production cycles and costs of products. The survey shows that the length of the setup time depends on the level of employee's knowledge. Therefore, a method for determining the standard setup time quota based on the level of employees' knowledge is proposed. First, an evaluation index system for the level of employee's knowledge is built; the level of employee's knowledge is estimated by the masses and experts fuzzy comprehension evaluation and entropy method. Second, the range and definition of the level of employees' knowledge index are developed. Third, the relational model of the employee's knowledge level and the level of employees' knowledge index is constructed through the least squares method. Finally, an example application is presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
