Smart sensor based total quality management service design in production process

Abstract

Product manufacturing sites have being changed the production paradigm into introduction of smart sensor technologies to manage supply chains considering entire product lifecycle. However, due to introduction for simple inventory control without consideration for technological specialties of smart sensors and business processes of enterprises, it has not reached the diffusion stage. Therefore, this paper implements a space applying smart sensors optimized for business processes of enterprises and a system utilizing it. In detail, it analyzes a current collaboration process for refractory manufacturing, and designs a process to build a collaboration system by sharing information with cooperative firms from calculating accurate requirements through introduction of smart centers. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
