20.500.12556/DKUM-96758 The investigation of production variance in a module-based assembly system: a Markovian arrival process approach This paper provides an in-depth study of the assembly production variance problem through the largest supplier of General Motors China. We focus on the production variance problem in an unreliable assembly (MOBA) system with a finite inter-station buffer, focusing on two of the central issues, namely the output variance as well as the delivery schedule variance. We model every subsystem's departure procedure in the MOBA system using the Markov Arrival Process (MAP) approach. Through the approximate use of MAP, we successfully shorten the time needed to calculate the output variance as well as delivery schedule variance of a large-scale MOBA system, which improves the efficiency of the system while ensuring that it meets the customer's needs. The relationship between production variance and system parameters is also studied, which is of substantial significance for optimizing the productivity of MOBA systems and improving customer satisfaction. manufacturing assembly production variance Markovian arrival process MAP module-based assembly system MOBA system proizvodnja montaža sestavljanje na podlagi modulov true false true Chair of Production Engineering (CPE), University of Maribor Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://apem-journal.org/ Članek v reviji 2026-01-27 14:49:05 2026-01-27 14:49:05 2026-03-20 07:03:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 65-77 no. 1 Vol. 19 March 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-01-18 2024-03-07 2024-04-29 004.5 266319107 10.14743/apem2024.1.493 1854-6250 APEM19-1_065-077.pdf APEM19-1_065-077.pdf 1 51BD42DCAA113830F126AB873B7DBD15 ce0db4a58fc48a436380968d5774325e3bc4129da9425fb6438b5223d346d26d 58088ef7-fb87-11f0-9c79-00155d00018d https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=202640 https://apem-journal.org/Archives/2024/Abstract-APEM19-1_065-077.html 0 5d3167e0-fb87-11f0-9c79-00155d00018d https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=202641 Fakulteta za strojništvo Advances in production engineering & management 0 0 0
