Abstract: Method for control of the make-to-order manufacturing system on the base of earning power assessment is a new method to control the entire production process, starting with customer enquiry up to product deliver. In practice, decisions on acceptance of order and production planning are often considered separately. Sales Department is responsible for accepting orders, while the production department in charge of production planning for implementation of orders accepted. Acceptance decisions are often made without involving the control of the production department or incomplete information on the basis of available production capacity. Method for integrated control of the job shop type manufacturing system proposed in this presentation aims to facilitate the connection between the two departments and to achieve integrated control of job shop type manufacturing system on the basis of Earning Power (EP) evaluation. It gives a more accurate picture of a firm's profitability than gross income.
It is presented the proposed method flowchart, three modeling techniques for time and cost: analytic, neural network and k-Nearest Neighbour. Using the achieved models, EP is evaluated at operation level, job level and order level of make-to-order manufacturing system.
