Failure prediction is essential for predictive maintenance due to its ability to prevent failure
occurrences and maintenance costs. At present, mathematical and statistical modeling are …

Present manufacturing systems are equipped with sensors that provide a basis for real-time
monitoring and diagnosis; however, placement of these sensors is constrained by the the …

In a high‐mix and low‐volume manufacturing facility, heterogeneous jobs introduce frequent
reconfiguration of machines which increases the chance of unplanned machine …

Increasing demand diversity has resulted in high-mix low-volume production where success
depends on the ability to quickly design and develop new products. This requires …

Abstract In the United States, an increasing amount of industries are becoming high-mix and
low-volume (HMLV) facilities to provide various products and to stay competitive. The …

This paper proposes a method to accurately locate the source of product quality drift in a
flexible manufacturing system (FMS). Based on the relationship between fault sources, a …

Cette thèse, aboutissement de trois années de travail, n'aurait jamais pu voir le jour sans le
soutien et l'aide de nombreuses personnes qui m'ont accompagnée tout au long de cette …
