ProdProc - Product and Production Process Modeling and Configuration

چکیده
Software product configurators are an emerging technology that supports companies in deploying mass customization strategies. Such strategies need to cover the management of the whole customizable product cycle. Adding process modeling and configuration features to a product configurator may improve its ability to assist mass customization development. In this paper, we describe a modeling framework that allows one to model both a product and its production process. We first introduce our framework focusing on its process modeling capabilities. Then, we outline a possible implementation based on Constraint Logic Programming of such product/process configuration system. A comparison with some of the existing systems for product configuration and process modeling concludes the paper.

متن کاملA Novel Study of Upgrading Catalytic Reforming Unit by Improving Catalyst Regeneration Process to Enhance Aromatic Compounds, Hydrogen Production, and Hydrogen Purity
Catalytic reforming is a chemical process utilized in petroleum refineries to convert naphtha, typically having low octane ratings, into high octane liquid products, called reformates, which are components of high octane gasoline. In this study, a mathematical model was developed for simulation of semi-regenerative catalytic reforming unit and the result of the proposed model was compared with ...
متن کاملA Graphical Framework for Supporting Mass Customization
Many companies deploying mass customization strategies adopt product configuration systems to support their activities. While such systems focus mainly on configuration process support, mass customization needs to cover the management of the whole customizable product cycle. In this paper, we describe a graphical modeling framework that allows one to model both a product and its production proc...
