CALCULATING PHASE TRANSITION WIDTHS IN PRODUCTION FLOW PROCESSES USING AN AVERAGE REGRESSION MODEL

摘要

In our previous study, we revealed that a phase transition phenomenon can be observed in the throughput of the manufacturing processes of certain pieces of control equipment. This phase transition corresponds to the fluctuation between sub-processes in the production flow process. In this study, we calculate the phase transition width using an average regression model. Then, we devise a representation of a stable condition in order to maintain the processes with smaller volatility. Finally, we use actual production data to show that a synchronous process is superior to an asynchronous one for obtaining high throughput.
