Abstract
<div>This article presents a new approach that integrates and balances cycle time and
reliability considerations during system design to enhance manufacturing system
capability, with direct applicability to automotive and high-volume
manufacturing. The method addresses system throughput capability in three steps
without complex mathematical modeling. The steps are: (1) managing workload
cycle times, (2) considering real-world operational availability, and (3)
achieving capability balance. Through analytical estimation and discrete event
simulation of an example manufacturing system, this approach’s application shows
a substantial increase in throughput capacity compared to a traditional
workload-based design. This throughput-centric design approach, serving as a
valuable tool for manufacturing system synthesis aimed at maximizing throughput,
can apply to volume production systems to enhance throughput capacity through
system design.</div>
