This paper focuses on modeling the supply chain of an additively manufactured, uniquely customized Total Hip Replacement implant. It explores how the supply chain could be modeled for hip components which are customized for individual patients and produced using additive manufacturing processes. The concept of the SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model is used to create a formal model of this...
Two separate approaches have been pursued to model manufacturing systems: a periodic process-oriented planning view and a discrete event-based operational view. It is desired to integrate both approaches. To meet this requirement, this paper presents formal descriptive models for a manufacturing supply chain system which can be assembled to unite heterogeneous system views. These models can be used...
We propose a predictive modeling framework for human-involved complex systems in which humans play controlling roles. Affordance theory provides definitions of human actions and their associated properties, and the affordance-based Finite State Automata (FSA) model is capable of mapping the nondeterministic human actions into computable components in modeling formalism. In this paper, we further investigate...
