CREATING HIGHLY RELIABLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

The causes of complex manufacturing systems' failures are preliminarily analyzed. The techniques of creating highly reliable manufacturing systems are then discussed. It has been shown that modern safety and quality analysis conducted from early design phase to operation and maintenance will enhance the reliability of complex manufacturing systems. In addition, optimization between human operators and machines reduces confusion and increases the reliability of such systems. Employing teamwork in all aspects of the organizational systems will enhance the productivity of complex systems. Moreover, there should also exist a unique and systemic mechanism which integrates the performance of the organizational systems with those of technical (engineering) and nontechnical (people) subsystems.
