摘要
– A rework network is a distinct multi-state network that exists in many real-life industrial manufacturing systems for fixing defective products using rework processes to improve the utility and productivity of the systems. To provide a more general model of rework networks, a novel one-batch preempt multi-state multi-rework network is proposed to achieve real-life applications without numerous impractical and unreasonable limitations. Accordingly, a new algorithm based on two different multi-state types of binary addition tree algorithms (BATs) is proposed to calculate the reliability of the proposed rework. Furthermore, the proposed BAT-based algorithm is applied to four rework problems to validate its effectiveness and performance for the rework reliability problem. • An novel one-batch preempt multi-state multi-rework network model • Based on the novel binary addition tree algorithms (BATs) • the novel top-down deterioration-effect multi-state BAT • the novel nested multi-state BAT s • Helps decision makers make better decisions regarding the rework process
