Management Decisions in Manufacturing using Causal Machine Learning -- To Rework, or not to Rework?
制造业中的因果机器学习决策:是否返工?
In this paper, we present a data-driven model for estimating optimal rework policies in manufacturing systems. We consider a single production stage within a multistage, lot-based system that allows for optional rework steps. While the rework decision depends on an intermediate state of the lot and system, the final product inspection, and thus the assessment of the actual yield, is delayed until production is complete. Repair steps are applied uniformly to the lot,…
