Abstract

Provided is an application of the described (or similar) decision-theoretic approaches to ensure the quality, output and timeliness of manufactured products for flexible and adaptable production systems, by determining and integrating suitable quality assurance measures which are integrated into the production process in an optimal manner. Thereby, a pareto-optimal sequence of production steps and quality assurance mechanisms are determined that provides an optimal trade-off between target product quality, production time and production costs. Since the approach is performed in an automated way, it can even be performed for flexible production scenarios down to a production of lot size I.
