A control model for downstream compensation strategy in multi-stage manufacturing systems of complex parts

The capability of delivering high-quality products with the required service level is a key factor for competitiveness in manufacturing companies. Zero-Defect Manufacturing control strategies aim at ensuring these targets grounding on the combination of knowledge extraction from the process and advanced statistical tools. This work presents the approach proposed within the EU-funded project ForZDM for selected use-cases in different industrial sectors characterized by multi-stage manufacturing systems and high-value complex parts. The control model is proposed and the overall control strategy is presented with respect to the state-of-the-art solutions, in order to show a comprehensive methodology integrating the joint product-system quality-oriented approach.
