Abstract

Currently, expert knowledge is sometimes the only way to predict the duration of the manufacturing process in relation to conformity. While expert knowledge is difficult to come by and often limited to experience. This paper aims to predict the duration of the manufacturing process by utilizing machine learning and big data. This paper utilizes a real industrial case with the use of neural network regression model that aims to expand the body of knowledge available in the area of predictive manufacturing research. The result of the model suggests the neural network regression model can result in a feasible outcome, while in the meantime overfitting did occur. Mean-squared error, relative squared error, relative absolute error and the correlation coefficient was computed. The paper also addresses the limitations and limited scope of findings and makes suggesting moving forwards.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
This project is supported by an Italian company, Gruppo Fabbricazione Meccanica (GFM) SrlGroup. They provided data for this research as raw data; they work with many small independent machine shops. For each order that GFM receives from customers, a decision must be made on how these orders are allocated to these workshops. A very important task of GFM is to decide how to distribute these tasks in order to achieve the best performance indicators such as shortest lead time, cost and quality. The dataset used in this study contains information on 100,000 orders, including requested delivery date, actual production start date, machine code, product code, work location, etc. This data includes all GFM orders from 2015 to 2017.
