Therefore, good supplier selection is very important issue in production process and business for cost saving and quality improvement. Most supplier selection models take into account the buyer’s point of view and maximize the buyer’s profit. This does not lead to the best situation for all members of the supply chain. Thus, this study applies analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique for supplier selection process. In this study, the authors chose 3 main criteria and 14 sub-criteria to evaluate importance level of each criterion in supplier selection process. Following the results, this study finds that product quality, price/cost, and manufacturing capability are the top three supplier selection criteria. Meanwhile, research & development, geographical location, and environment and safety are the least important issues.","PeriodicalId":438307,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114495402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study shows that the highest sales of Jinlun hot spring eggs for weekdays can be sold 400, the holiday is as high as 1,000, sales at least is about weekdays 2-3 times.

Standards for communication such as OPC UA have a crucial role in the data exchange required in this context. However, these systems adopt the static properties from their domain, which have led to their success and widespread use in Industry 4.0. The most critical core difficulties with OPC UA are the definition of communication mechanisms and the data model to be used in a strictly coupled environment. Because of their central client-server architecture and missing communication patterns, these systems do not offer the necessary flexibility and platform independence to use the entire spectrum of possible software tools efficiently. Especially negatively affected is the initial effort to integrate such systems and to guarantee the scalability of the infrastructure later on. With a focus on these challenges, the message-based communication framework XSC has been developed for the shop-floor, which uses the high-performance ZeroMQ framework and the data format Google Protocol Buffers for platform independence and a high degree of efficiency. It has a scalable and distributed multi-agent architecture that provides a distributed registry for the usage and provision of microservice components. Besides, multiple communication patterns were provided to meet the requirements of both environments, shop-floor, and cloud computing applications.","PeriodicalId":438307,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127120575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, the SRU (Simple Recurrent Unit) deep learning model is used to establish a prediction model for the key water quality parameters, so as to achieve accurate prediction. Meanwhile, we also evaluate the prediction effect of prediction model built by RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) deep learning network. The experimental results show that the proposed prediction method has higher prediction accuracy than the method based on RNN when the time complexity is similar.

It’s also available about making sure of the beam quality of the exposing light module in the semiconductor industry. The paper claimed that we adopted an array-type sub-wavelength annular aperture (SAA) micro-structure (12x12) to build up a new wavefront sensing system instead of a conventional micro-lens array. The metrology resolution was limited by its feature size of the micro-lens array about several hundred micrometers.
