Controlling complex processes involves determining system parameters relevant to process reliability/availability, adaptively determining optimum between observed process criteria

摘要

The method involves determining the relevant system parameters for reliability and/or availability of a manufacturing process, determining system reliability and/or availability depending on a target function of minimal transition time of a job through an observed stage, on reliability structure element loading and cost and adaptively determining an optimum between target criteria for the observed process. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.
