1 Introduction

Production workshop is the basic unit of manufacturingenterprises which consists of equipment personnel de-partments and various workpieces In the productionworkshop the workpiece is processed to the final productaccording to the established process route and the process isaccompanied by many uncertain factors -ese disturbancefactors lead to the generation transfer and disappearance ofthe bottleneck in the workshop and the bottleneck unitrestricts the effective output of the production system-erefore it is necessary to study the dynamic prediction ofthe bottleneck in the workshop under the disturbance en-vironment for improving themanagement of the productionsystem

In the manufacturing process how to establish a rea-sonable and accurate mathematical model to identify andpredict bottlenecks can provide a theoretical basis for en-terprises to make production plans and management Wuet al [1] thought that from the point of view of complexnetwork statistical parameters the cooperation supply and

demand information transmission and other aspects be-tween production enterprises show self-similar character-istics Hao et al [2] used simulation software to simulate andanalyze the production process of the production system-e research showed that the evolution process of theproduction system was extremely sensitive to the systemparameters Sun and Bin [3] analyzed that all kinds ofmanufacturing workshop cell network mouldmanufacturing network and all kinds of supply chainnetwork show small-world characteristics

module by using the brittleness theory of the complexnetwork and improved the antirisk ability of the modularproduct network Funke and Becker [6] analyzed the ap-plication of the complex network theory in themanufacturing system and provided a new method fornetwork modelling of the manufacturing system Giret et al[7] applied the complex network theory to the service-oriented manufacturing network and analyzed the networkstructure and statistical parameters of the service-orientedmanufacturing network

Nowadays artificial intelligent algorithms had beenapplied in the construction for different applications Keaet al [8] proposed a newmodel to estimate the disc cutter lifeby integrating a group method of data handling- (GMDH-)type neural network with a genetic algorithm Wei et al [9]proposed an analytical method for estimating the horizontaltransition probability matrix which is one of the importantinput parameters for the coupled Markov chain model Shenet al [10] presented an automatic pumping-recharge systemto maintain groundwater balance during dewatering Linet al [11] presented an approach for eutrophication eval-uation based on the technique for order preference Zhanget al [12] proposed an artificial intelligence model to predictground settlement Ssl et al [13] proposed an intelligentframework for predicting the advancing speed during earthpressure balance

-e definition and classification of bottlenecks are dif-ferent according to different research objects differentmethods and different observation angles Wang et al [14]regarded the queuing number of parts in the processing areaas the bottleneck identification index and the bottleneck isthe one with the largest queuing number Samouei et al [15]studied the bottleneck in the workshop from various aspectsof the equipment parameters and identified the bottleneckunit by building a time-based mathematical model Azadehand Shoja [16] proposed a network model of bottleneckidentification which converted the main units of theworkshop into a network model to identify the bottlenecklocation from the perspective of the system Rui and Cheng[17] studied the workshop of the assembly line productionmode constructed a mathematical model based on thebalance rate of the production line and identified thebottleneck in real time Based on the TOC constraint theoryBin and Sun [18] combined with the intelligent algorithmand improved some processes of the previous genetic al-gorithm so as to optimize the bottleneck identificationmethod According to the linear programming methodBrucker et al [19] constructed a programming model for theobjective function and constraints of the productionworkshop to identify the bottleneck unit of the productionsystem Masoud et al [20] used the model graph and net-work model construction algorithm to identify the real-timebottleneck in the production workshop -urer and Ste-venson [21] used simulation software to simulate the mainproduction factors of the production system and comparedthe simulation data with the theoretical model and work-shop data to identify the real-time bottleneck Sweeney et al[22] carried out orthogonal experiments on the factors thataffect the output target of the system in the production

workshop compared with the mobile bottleneck generatorand verified the superiority of the orthogonal experimentbottleneck identification method

-e existing bottleneck research methods are limited to aspecific parameter index such as equipment station per-sonnel and materials which lack systematic thinking -ebottleneck identification method in this paper is based onthe complex network theory the Markov model is simpleand it can be used to describe complex random phenomenaMarkov process is used to analyze the disturbance factorsand the state transition probability and steady distribution ofthe Markov chain are obtained it provides a way for thequantitative analysis of the disturbance factors in the pro-duction workshop From the perspective of the complexnetwork all production factors are considered to identifyand predict the bottleneck And then the accuracy andeffectiveness of the proposed method are verified by theactual data of the workshop and simulation software

2 Disturbance Factorsrsquo Analysis of theProduction Workshop Based on theMarkov Model

In this paper Markov model is used to evaluate and predictthe intensity of disturbance factors -e method has a goodeffect on process state prediction and it can be used forproduction site state prediction However it is not suitablefor medium- and long-term system prediction From theperspective of the production process the disturbancefactors of the workshop are analyzed the disturbance factorintensity matrix is constructed the relationship between thematrix and disturbance factor intensity is simulated and theMarkov chain prediction model is established to predict thechange of disturbance factor intensity so as to determine thekey disturbance factors and their occurrence probability-eflowchart indicating the bottleneck prediction of the pro-duction workshop is shown in Figure 1

In each link of the workshop there will be a variety ofdisturbance factors such as demand change emergencyorder insertion equipment failure machining accuracy andpersonnel absence At the same time there will be a lot ofinaccurate information such as material arrival timemanual clamping time and auxiliary processing time -eexistence of these disturbance factors will make the work-shop conditions change dynamically and seriously affect thenormal production activities

-e disturbance in the workshop mainly refers to thefactors that affect the effective output of production unitssuch as equipment personnel process and departmentDisturbance factors can be divided into the following fourcategories internal production environment externalenvironment monitoring technology and human factorsDisturbance factors caused by the internal productionenvironment although the production in themanufacturing workshop has been oriented to stan-dardization and precision the microdifferences andrandomness in time cannot be eliminated -ese uncer-tainties are mostly related to the internal production

environment such as equipment random failure andequipment accuracy error Disturbance factors caused bythe external environment they are materials not trans-ported in place according to regulations order changesetc -e disturbance factors caused by the external en-vironment will lead to the cancellation of existing pro-duction tasks or the change of production schedule whichis a kind of disturbance factors with great influence on thedetermination of results -e disturbance factors causedby monitoring technology include detection methoddetection time and detection environment -e influenceof such disturbance factors is relatively weak Disturbancefactors caused by human factors mainly included workersabsence workersrsquo proficiency and workersrsquo mood -esedisturbance factors affect the quality and productionschedule of the product directly

-e intensity of the disturbance factor is a quantitativedescription of the disturbance factor -e expression ofdisturbance factor intensity is different in different fields-e intensity of the disturbance factor reflects an inherentdynamic characteristic of the disturbance factor which isused to describe the direct influence of the disturbancefactor on the workshop network -e influence of differentdisturbance factors on the workshop is different Chinet al [23] classified the disturbance factors into four typesexternal disturbance internal disturbance monitoringdisturbance and human disturbance -e bottleneckinfluencing factor matrix is shown in Table 1

-ere are various uncertain disturbance factors in theprocess of production and processing -e occurrence ofdisturbance factors may lead to the generation transferincrease or decrease of bottlenecks in the productionworkshop In this paper the intensity of the disturbancefactor is defined to express the comprehensive action degreeof various disturbance factors in the process of productionand processing -e intensity of the disturbance factor isexpressed as follows

where wi represents the importance of each disturbancefactor and di represents the measurement indexes of theintensity of each human disturbance factor to the distur-bance factor

Because the intensity of disturbance factors in theproduction workshop is a comprehensive quantitative indexof various disturbance factors and the intensity of distur-bance factors is a fuzzy quantity the intensity of disturbancefactors in the production workshop can be measured by thefuzzy evaluation method at all levels analytic hierarchyprocess expert scoring and other comprehensive methods-e specific steps are as follows

-e bottleneck of the production workshop is producedin the production activities and it is the result of thecomprehensive effect of various disturbance factors in theproduction activities -e intensity of disturbance factorscaused by human disturbance factors is divided into statesMarkov model is used to predict the divided states Finallythe probability of each state is obtained to predict the keydisturbance factors

It can be seen that in the production process in eachstate of 23 production process indicators the key distur-bance factors are equipment failure material supply orderchange and so on and the influence of the occurrenceprobability of these disturbance factors accounted for 862

42 Bottleneck Prediction Model Simulation Aiming at anauto parts production workshop the data of the productionprocess are collected in hours by sensors on the productionline According to the working characteristics resource flowprocess constraints information flow and personnel allo-cation of the production workshop the data are collectedand the key nodes are extracted and the complex networkmodel is constructed to realize the network mathematicaldescription of the production process of the productionworkshop -e specific production data of 10 sets ofequipment and 6 workpiecesrsquo sequence are shown in Table 5

-e layout of the workshop is shown in Figure 3After the initial state of each node is set the subsequent

state of each node is calculated according to the predictionmodel -e node state values without disturbance are shownin Table 6

Table 6 shows that the state values of each node arebasically stable without disturbance and there is no bot-tleneck unit

When the disturbance factor is added the node statevalues of the workshop after 3 hours of disturbance areshown in Table 7

According to the criterion of bottleneck judgment [26]the state value of each node is counted to judge the bot-tleneck -e results are shown in Table 8

As shown in Tables 7 and 8 before the disturbance thestate value of the workshop nodes fluctuates little and thereis no bottleneck unit After the disturbance factor is addedthe state value of each node begins to be affected -roughsimulation calculation it is found that equipment P6 is theprimary bottleneck and equipment P5 is the secondarybottleneck -rough the analysis of Table 8 it is found thatthe degree value and clustering coefficient of the bottleneckunit are larger than other nodes and the bottleneck unitappears on the equipment directly affected by orderinsertion

In order to verify the rationality and correctness of themodel the production process of the workshop is simulatedand analyzed-rough the simulation analysis when there isno disturbance factor the production activities of the

2 Disturbance Factorsrsquo Analysis of theProduction Workshop Based on theMarkov Model

In this paper Markov model is used to evaluate and predictthe intensity of disturbance factors -e method has a goodeffect on process state prediction and it can be used forproduction site state prediction However it is not suitablefor medium- and long-term system prediction From theperspective of the production process the disturbancefactors of the workshop are analyzed the disturbance factorintensity matrix is constructed the relationship between thematrix and disturbance factor intensity is simulated and theMarkov chain prediction model is established to predict thechange of disturbance factor intensity so as to determine thekey disturbance factors and their occurrence probability-eflowchart indicating the bottleneck prediction of the pro-duction workshop is shown in Figure 1

In each link of the workshop there will be a variety ofdisturbance factors such as demand change emergencyorder insertion equipment failure machining accuracy andpersonnel absence At the same time there will be a lot ofinaccurate information such as material arrival timemanual clamping time and auxiliary processing time -eexistence of these disturbance factors will make the work-shop conditions change dynamically and seriously affect thenormal production activities

-e disturbance in the workshop mainly refers to thefactors that affect the effective output of production unitssuch as equipment personnel process and departmentDisturbance factors can be divided into the following fourcategories internal production environment externalenvironment monitoring technology and human factorsDisturbance factors caused by the internal productionenvironment although the production in themanufacturing workshop has been oriented to stan-dardization and precision the microdifferences andrandomness in time cannot be eliminated -ese uncer-tainties are mostly related to the internal production

-e intensity of the disturbance factor is a quantitativedescription of the disturbance factor -e expression ofdisturbance factor intensity is different in different fields-e intensity of the disturbance factor reflects an inherentdynamic characteristic of the disturbance factor which isused to describe the direct influence of the disturbancefactor on the workshop network -e influence of differentdisturbance factors on the workshop is different Chinet al [23] classified the disturbance factors into four typesexternal disturbance internal disturbance monitoringdisturbance and human disturbance -e bottleneckinfluencing factor matrix is shown in Table 1

-ere are various uncertain disturbance factors in theprocess of production and processing -e occurrence ofdisturbance factors may lead to the generation transferincrease or decrease of bottlenecks in the productionworkshop In this paper the intensity of the disturbancefactor is defined to express the comprehensive action degreeof various disturbance factors in the process of productionand processing -e intensity of the disturbance factor isexpressed as follows

where wi represents the importance of each disturbancefactor and di represents the measurement indexes of theintensity of each human disturbance factor to the distur-bance factor

Because the intensity of disturbance factors in theproduction workshop is a comprehensive quantitative indexof various disturbance factors and the intensity of distur-bance factors is a fuzzy quantity the intensity of disturbancefactors in the production workshop can be measured by thefuzzy evaluation method at all levels analytic hierarchyprocess expert scoring and other comprehensive methods-e specific steps are as follows

41 Analysis of Disturbance Factors In the experiment theactual production workshop data of an automobilemanufacturing enterprise [25] are taken as an exampleMarkov process is used to analyze the disturbance factorsFirstly the analytic hierarchy process is used to analyzemany disturbance factors and determine their respectiveweights as shown in Table 3

After classifying and subdividing the disturbance factorsand calculating the weight the occurrence frequency is fittedaccording to the historical data of the disturbance factors inthe production workshop -e state probability transitionmatrix is determined according to Table 3 in which the stateprobability transition diagram and probability matrix are asfollows

It can be seen that in the production process in eachstate of 23 production process indicators the key distur-bance factors are equipment failure material supply orderchange and so on and the influence of the occurrenceprobability of these disturbance factors accounted for 862

42 Bottleneck Prediction Model Simulation Aiming at anauto parts production workshop the data of the productionprocess are collected in hours by sensors on the productionline According to the working characteristics resource flowprocess constraints information flow and personnel allo-cation of the production workshop the data are collectedand the key nodes are extracted and the complex networkmodel is constructed to realize the network mathematicaldescription of the production process of the productionworkshop -e specific production data of 10 sets ofequipment and 6 workpiecesrsquo sequence are shown in Table 5

-e layout of the workshop is shown in Figure 3After the initial state of each node is set the subsequent

state of each node is calculated according to the predictionmodel -e node state values without disturbance are shownin Table 6

Table 6 shows that the state values of each node arebasically stable without disturbance and there is no bot-tleneck unit

When the disturbance factor is added the node statevalues of the workshop after 3 hours of disturbance areshown in Table 7

According to the criterion of bottleneck judgment [26]the state value of each node is counted to judge the bot-tleneck -e results are shown in Table 8

As shown in Tables 7 and 8 before the disturbance thestate value of the workshop nodes fluctuates little and thereis no bottleneck unit After the disturbance factor is addedthe state value of each node begins to be affected -roughsimulation calculation it is found that equipment P6 is theprimary bottleneck and equipment P5 is the secondarybottleneck -rough the analysis of Table 8 it is found thatthe degree value and clustering coefficient of the bottleneckunit are larger than other nodes and the bottleneck unitappears on the equipment directly affected by orderinsertion

In order to verify the rationality and correctness of themodel the production process of the workshop is simulatedand analyzed-rough the simulation analysis when there isno disturbance factor the production activities of the

-e layout of the workshop is shown in Figure 3After the initial state of each node is set the subsequent

state of each node is calculated according to the predictionmodel -e node state values without disturbance are shownin Table 6

Table 6 shows that the state values of each node arebasically stable without disturbance and there is no bot-tleneck unit

When the disturbance factor is added the node statevalues of the workshop after 3 hours of disturbance areshown in Table 7

According to the criterion of bottleneck judgment [26]the state value of each node is counted to judge the bot-tleneck -e results are shown in Table 8

As shown in Tables 7 and 8 before the disturbance thestate value of the workshop nodes fluctuates little and thereis no bottleneck unit After the disturbance factor is addedthe state value of each node begins to be affected -roughsimulation calculation it is found that equipment P6 is theprimary bottleneck and equipment P5 is the secondarybottleneck -rough the analysis of Table 8 it is found thatthe degree value and clustering coefficient of the bottleneckunit are larger than other nodes and the bottleneck unitappears on the equipment directly affected by orderinsertion

In order to verify the rationality and correctness of themodel the production process of the workshop is simulatedand analyzed-rough the simulation analysis when there isno disturbance factor the production activities of the

-e layout of the workshop is shown in Figure 3After the initial state of each node is set the subsequent

state of each node is calculated according to the predictionmodel -e node state values without disturbance are shownin Table 6

Table 6 shows that the state values of each node arebasically stable without disturbance and there is no bot-tleneck unit

When the disturbance factor is added the node statevalues of the workshop after 3 hours of disturbance areshown in Table 7

According to the criterion of bottleneck judgment [26]the state value of each node is counted to judge the bot-tleneck -e results are shown in Table 8

As shown in Tables 7 and 8 before the disturbance thestate value of the workshop nodes fluctuates little and thereis no bottleneck unit After the disturbance factor is addedthe state value of each node begins to be affected -roughsimulation calculation it is found that equipment P6 is theprimary bottleneck and equipment P5 is the secondarybottleneck -rough the analysis of Table 8 it is found thatthe degree value and clustering coefficient of the bottleneckunit are larger than other nodes and the bottleneck unitappears on the equipment directly affected by orderinsertion

In order to verify the rationality and correctness of themodel the production process of the workshop is simulatedand analyzed-rough the simulation analysis when there isno disturbance factor the production activities of the

workshop are normal and there is no bottleneck With theinput of the disturbance factor the process matrix changesresulting in the changes of the network topology clusteringcoefficient node degree value node state and processmatrix Accuracy index is used to verify the accuracy of theprediction model and it is defined as follows

accuracy (TP + TN)

(TP + FP + TN + FN) (19)

where TP represents true positive FP represents falsepositive FN represents false negative and TN representstrue negative

-e fluctuation caused by disturbance is positivelycorrelated with the degree value but not with betweennessand clustering coefficient After the disturbance the pro-posed prediction method in this paper is in good agreementwith the actual data and the coincidence rate is as high as937 -e coincidence rate with other prediction methods
