Intelligent Supply Chain Management Modules Enabling Advanced Manufacturing for the Electric‐Mechanical Equipment Industry

Abstract

Electric-mechanical equipment manufacturing industries focus on the implementation of intelligent manufacturing systems in order to enhance customer services for highly customized machines with high-profit margins such as electric power transformers. Intelligent manufacturing consists in using supply chain data that are integrated for smart decision making during the production life cycle. This research, in cooperation with a large electric power transformer manufacturer, provides an overview of critical intelligent manufacturing (IM) technologies. An ontology schema forms the terminology relationships needed to build two intelligent supply chain management (SCM) modules for the IM system demonstration. The two core modules proposed in this research are the intelligent supplier selection and component ordering module and the product quality prediction module. The intelligent supplier selection and component ordering module dispatches orders that match the best options of suppliers based on combined analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis and multiobjective integer optimization. In the case study, the intelligent supplier selection and component ordering module demonstrates several acceptable Pareto solutions based on strict constraints, which is a very challenging task for decision makers without assistance. The second module is the product quality prediction module which uses multivariate regression and ARIMA to predict the quality of the finished products. Results show that the R square values are very close to 1. The module shortens the time for the company to accurately judge whether the two semifinished iron cores for the product meet the quality requirements. The component supplier selection module and the finished product quality prediction module developed in this research can be extended to other IM systems for general high-end equipment manufacturers using mass customization.

Reorganization Reaction Characteristics between Different Volatile Content and Waste Pyrolysis

“…Gao [19] study found that cellulose molecules in the process of pyrolysis rst decomposition into cellulose monomer, then cellulose monomer hydroxyl functional group priority removal, the intermediate product of liquid products, so paper reforming volatile will contain a large number of hydroxyl functional group, nally after reforming the liquid, oxygenation content is still relatively high. ese ndings in this article have potential application prospects in the manufacturing industry [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Digital Analysis of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Innovation of E-commerce Enterprises in Green Economy

“…Wang, Y. et al [12] through a case study based on four Chinese cross-border e-commerce enterprises, found that cross-border e-commerce companies laterally enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise and at the same time, achieve high social benefits. Cross-border e-commerce as a synergistic development of the industry, and the supply chain link requirements are higher [13][14]. Xu, Y [15] believes that it can set up supply chain information security and other aspects of the supply chain to establish information supply chain partnerships, to improve economic efficiency, and ultimately, to provide a modern service industry with faster growth assurance.…”

Design and Implementation of an Explainable Bidirectional LSTM Model Based on Transition System Approach for Cooperative AI-Workers

“…Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can offer exciting new possibilities for manufacturing CPS [6]. A model can predict the quality of finished products using Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), which is machine learning [7]. A recent study has proven that Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is suitable for predicting inventory supply and demand in the manufacturing process [8].…”
