Methodology of backcasting of manufacturing process on the example of implementation of advisory systems in manufacturing processes

In the present paper, the methodology of the backcasting of manufacturing process and the possibilities of the application of Bizagi Modeler software with the utilization of BPMN notation with the aim to show the analyzed manufacturing processes in the conceptional aspect was submitted. As the example, the problem of the choice of filament in the incremental manufacturing process and the issue of selection of semi-fabricate in the machining process were discussed. The implementation of advisory systems based upon the simulation model in Flexsim software with the application of method of backcasting was analyzed. In the conducted simulation, the times for two analyzed variants in the both mentioned above manufacturing processes were compared. The first variant considered the employment of advisory systems and the second one assumed the standard run of the process, with the verification of senior technologist.

W rozdziale przedstawiono metodykę wstecznego prognozowania procesu produkcyjnego oraz możliwości wykorzystania oprogramowania Bizagi Modeler z wykorzystaniem notacji BPMN w celu przedstawienia analizowanych procesów produkcyjnych w ujęciu koncepcyjnym. Jako przykład w rozdziale wykorzystano problem doboru filamentu w procesie wytwarzania przyrostowego oraz problem doboru półfabrykatu w procesie obróbki skrawaniem. Wdrożenie systemów doradczych przeanalizowano w oparciu o model symulacyjny w oprogramowaniu Flexsim z wykorzystaniem metodyki wstecznego prognozowania.
