Predictive Modeling Of Machining Line Variation

View page
US Patent:
7209799, Apr 24, 2007
Filed:
Apr 14, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/106041
Inventors:
John S. Agapiou - Rochester Hills MI, US
Eric A. Steinhilper - Harrison Township MI, US
Jeffrey M. Alden - Ypsilanti MI, US
Aloysius Anagonye - Southfield MI, US
Pulak Bandyopadhyay - Rochester Hills MI, US
Fangming Gu - Rochester Hills MI, US
Patrick M. Hilber - Rochester MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
700177, 700174, 700193, 700121, 703 22
Abstract:
A multistage machining process includes a plurality of stations. Workpiece feature quality is predicted based on decomposition of the machining process into sources of variation, reticulation of the machining process into machining stations and error models that account for significant contributions to feature quality including from categorical sources of variation.

Method And System For Analyzing Throughput

US Patent:
7398132, Jul 8, 2008
Filed:
Jan 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/327121
Inventors:
Eric A. Steinhilper - Harrison Township MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
G06F 11/30
G06F 15/00
G21C 17/00
US Classification:
700111, 702185
Abstract:
Described is a method and system for analyzing throughput of a production line. The method includes selecting among the stations, a set of susceptible stations that are affected by at least one selected event, ranking the susceptible stations with respect to a selected event and the predetermined criteria to determine an ordered list of more susceptible stations, altering the selected events to generate a new set of events, reranking the susceptible stations with respect to the selected events comprising the new event to determine a new ordered list of more susceptible stations and determining the most susceptible station based on a comparison criterion of the original ordered list of more susceptible stations and the new ordered list of more susceptible stations.

System And Method For Optimization Of Product Throughput

US Patent:
20060136085, Jun 22, 2006
Filed:
Dec 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/017413
Inventors:
Eric Steinhilper - Harrison Township MI, US
James Nickolaou - Clarkston MI, US
Henry Baker - Novi MI, US
Norman Hovis - Linden MI, US
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700111000, 700108000, 700112000, 700115000, 029430000
Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus are provided so that the machines and machining stations and the distribution of product along a production line may be managed in a variety of manners while data is taken and analyzed in accordance with this invention to provide optimization conditions for improved throughput. A historical analysis of zone performance provides the preferred range for the number of upstream and downstream products for each particular segment, machine, or station. An end of shift staging analysis provides the optimized number of upstream and downstream products for each particular segment, machine, or station at the start of the next shift.
