A Markov Chain Based Approach to Analyze Product Quality in Battery Manufacturing

摘要

In this paper,we present a fiow model to analyze product quality in battery assembly lines with 100％ inspections andrepairsfor defective parts.Specifically,a battery assembly line consisting of multiple inspection stations is considerecl.After each inspection,defective parts will be repaired and sent back to the line.AMarkov chain based model is introduced to analyze quality propagations along the battery production line.Analytical expressions of final product quality are derived and structural properties are investigated.A case study is presented to illustrate the applicability of the method.
