The primary purposes for developing such a platform are to support the integration of predictive models, process planning, and shop floor machining activities and to demonstrate an integration framework to enable the use of machining process knowledge with higher-level manufacturing applications.
More variable costs will have to be incurred to build the inventory to a higher level; fixed manufacturing costs presumably will be unaffected.
Based on the suggested priority, counter measures have been implemented to improve the product yield, and a higher level of manufacturing performance has been achieved already during the facility start-up.
