Integrated Real-Time Event Based Cost Modeling of Battery Manufacturing System Available to Purchase

Information of battery manufacturing system is becoming increasingly transparent, detailed and real-time. Despite the big potential in improving productivity, the advantages of information are not fully realized due to a lack of system level modeling. Motivated by this need, we develop an integrated system modeling approach to quantify the systematic impact of stations and supporting activities with a unified index called event based cost (EBC). The analysis provides a severity ranking of stations and supporting activities. A case study is conducted to demonstrate the application of the model in a battery production system and its ability to facilitate decision making.
