Preface

IWAMA—International Workshop of Advanced Manufacturing and Automation—aims at providing a common platform for academics, researchers, practicing pro-fessionals, and experts from industries to interact, discuss trends and advances, andshare ideas and perspectives in the areas of manufacturing and automation.

IWAMA began in Shanghai University in 2010. In 2012 and 2013, it was held atthe Norwegian University of Science and Technology; in 2014 at ShanghaiUniversity again; in 2015 at Shanghai Polytechnic University; in 2016 at Universityof Manchester; and in 2017 at Changshu Institute of Technology. The sponsorsorganizing the IWAMA series have expanded to many universities throughout theworld, including University of Plymouth, Changzhou University, NorwegianUniversity of Science and Technology, SINTEF, University of Manchester,Changshu Institute of Technology, Shanghai University, Shanghai PolytechnicUniversity, Xiamen University of Science and Technology, Tongji University,University of Malaga, University of Firenze, University of Stavanger, The ArcticUniversity of Norway, Shandong Agricultural University, China University ofMining and Technology, Indian National Institute of Technology, DonghuaUniversity, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Dalian University, St. PetersburgPolytechnic University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and China Instrumentand Control Society. As IWAMA becomes an annual event, we are expecting thatmore sponsors from universities and industries will participate in the internationalworkshop as co-organizers.

Manufacturing and automation have assumed paramount importance and arevital factors for the economy of a nation and the quality of life. The field ofmanufacturing and automation is advancing at a rapid pace, and new technologiesare also emerging in the field. The challenges faced by today’s engineers are forcingthem to keep on top of the emerging trends through continuous research anddevelopment.

IWAMA2018 took place inChangzhouUniversity, China, September 25–26, 2018,organized by Changzhou University, University of Plymouth, Norwegian Universityof Science and Technology, and SINTEF. The program is designed to improvemanufacturing and automation technologies for the next generation through

discussion of the most recent advances and future perspectives, and to engage theworldwide community in a collective effort to solve problems in manufacturing andautomation.

Manufacturing research includes a focus on the transformation of present fac-tories, toward reusable, flexible, modular, intelligent, digital, virtual, affordable,easy-to-adapt, easy-to-operate, easy-to-maintain, and highly reliable “smart facto-ries.” Therefore, IWAMA 2018 has mainly covered four topics in manufacturingengineering:

1. Industry 4.02. Manufacturing systems and technologies3. Production management4. Design and optimization.

All papers submitted to the workshop have been subjected to strict peer reviewby at least two expert referees. Finally, 89 papers have been selected to be includedin the proceedings after a revision process. We hope that the proceedings will notonly give the readers a broad overview of the latest advances, and a summary of theevent, but also provide researchers with a valuable reference in this field.

Especially, we work together with Changzhou Science and Technology Bureauto organize an industry session, where more than 150 companies worldwide join thesession to discuss how AI and robotics support Industry 4.0 and ChinaManufacturing 2025.

On behalf of the organizing committee and the international scientific committeeof IWAMA 2018, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciationfor all the kind support, from the contributors of high-quality keynotes and papers,and all the participants. My thanks are extended to all the workshop organizers andpaper reviewers, to Changzhou University and University of Plymouth for thefinancial support, and to all co-sponsors for their generous contribution. Thanks arealso given to Jin Yuan, Quan Yu, Wanping Wu, Lin Liu, Lin Zou, Guohong Dai,and Ziqiang Zhou, for their hard editorial work of the proceedings and arrangementof the workshop.

Industry 4.0 Closed Loop ToleranceEngineering Maturity Evaluation

Kristian Martinsen(&)

Department for Manufacturing and Civil Engineering,Teknologivn 22, 2815 Gjøvik, [email protected]

Abstract. Closed Loop Tolerance Engineering (CLTE) is introduced as amodel of information flow – feed forward and feedback- between functionalrequirements, tolerance selection, process capabilities and product performance.“Industry 4.0” and “Cyber physical manufacturing systems” opens new poten-tials for information and data exchange along variation management activities,when developing, producing and manufacturing products. This paper describes amethod for evaluation of the maturity level of the CLTE data and informationexchange. The method is based on and validated through empirical findingsfrom field studies in a number of manufacturing companies.

1 Introduction

1.1 Tolerances and Tolerance Engineering

Tolerances are defined in order to limit components and products geometry and toensure interchangeability, quality and function according to the customer demands. Theselected tolerances will usually also impact manufacturing and inspection processesand thus manufacturing costs. In spite of the increasing ability to assess processcapabilities and other data and the increasing number of design software; tolerances arestill often determined with lacking insight. This may lead to inappropriate tolerances.Too tight tolerances “to be on the safe side” regarding assembly and product functionand insufficient tolerance distribution are typical errors. Geometry features having anover-qualified manufacturing process are potentially more expensive than necessary.On the other hand, will under-qualified processes lead to problems to meet the qualityrequirements without sorting or other measures.

Literature reports many examples on this; Zhang (1997) [1] states that “many partsand products are certainly over-toleranced or haphazardly toleranced, with pre-dictable consequences”. Singh [2] point at the negative effects of inappropriate toler-ances of increased cost and lacking product quality. Ali et al. [3] and Krogstie andMartinsen [4] point at the costs and efforts to change tolerances at a later stage. Addingto this is a seemingly lack of attention to tolerance engineering. As Watts [5] states;“all industry is suffering, often unknowingly, of the lack of adequate academic

attention on tolerances”. He claims tolerancing has “gradually been removed from thecurriculum at universities and has been replaced by other product developmentcourses”. Oddly enough have popular management paradigms that originates fromquality and variation control such as TQM, Six Sigma and Lean a lacking attention totolerancing. The focus is mainly on management [4]. “Not only has tolerances lowexplicit attention within industry, academia and product development literature;managers are lacking tools to address tolerancing activities” [4]. Tolerancing has been“kept in a high degree of technical focus” with focus on norms and standards [6, 7].

There are many different product development methodologies and approacheswhere tolerances and variation management are addressed, such as Robust design [8]and Design for Manufacturing (or DfX) [9, 10]. A comprehensive listing of models andmanagement control of product development shows, however, that tolerancing is notaddressed in many other approaches [11–14].

1.2 Closed Loop Tolerance Engineering

Krogstie and Martinsen have developed a conceptual model of Closed Loop ToleranceEngineering (CLTE) [15]. CLTE (Fig. 1) is a model for “systematic and continuous re-use and understanding of product-related knowledge, with the aim of designing robustproducts and processes with the appropriate limits of specifications”. CLTE sees tol-erancing as activities not limited to the traditional activities of tolerance-specification,allocation, modelling/optimization and synthesis, but also an organizational process,with information flow and ability to collect, use and reuse data. Prevent problems formoccurring, attention to and understanding of tolerances in the whole value chain, factbased tolerance engineering are some benefits expected. Good tolerance engineeringpractice includes a collective ability to detect critical situations in the product devel-opment phase [16]. A critical situation is the decision-making between a desirable ornegative consequence in the future. CLTE is distinguished from other approaches byrepresenting the “skilled knowledge-based collaboration with a specific focus on theimportance of defining appropriate tolerances”. CLTE has been applied for analyzingtolerance engineering practices in different companies, including a high-precisionaerospace company [17].

The CLTE - model has a “feed forward” and a feed-back” information flowdimension. It contains four interconnected activities: 1 - Defining functional require-ments, 2 - Defining tolerances, 3 - Considering of production capabilities and 4 -Confirmation of functional performance. Furthermore, six pairs of closed loops ofrelations; 1a/b etc., see Fig. 1. The closed loop relations links activities togetherpassing information forward in the project flow, as well as to the predecessors in thefeed-back dimension. The ability to prepare and utilise information and data from bothfeed forward and feed-back dimension is the main key element. The need for cross-functional teams for product and process development is a well-known concept [18]and the proposed CLTE is a cross-functional.

2 Industry 4.0 CLTE

Industry 4.0 is a strategy for implementing the so called 4th industrial revolution, and acentral concept is Cyber-Physical Manufacturing systems [19] where the physical andthe virtual processes are providing simultaneous data-accessing and processing.Machine learning/Artificial intelligence, sensor based monitoring and control, multi-agent/holonic systems, (wireless) sensor networks, (big) data mining,virtual/augmented reality etc. are some technologies that are mentioned. Better con-nectivity, productivity, efficiency, information flow, robustness, flexibility are some ofthe expectations to Industry 4.0.

There are a growing number of scientific articles on Tolerance Engineering inIndustry 4.0. One example is Gianetti [21], who suggests a framework for processrobustness, improving process robustness with quantification of uncertainties inIndustry 4.0. She proposes to use big data analysis to find “Likelihood Ratios” forprocess capabilities used to set robust tolerance limits. Another is Söderberg et al. [22]discussing how a digital twin with “geometry representation of the assembly, kinematicrelations, FEA functionality, Monte Carlo simulation, material properties and link toinspection data base”. One might also argue that the vast number of articles onComputer Aided Tolerancing (including CIRPs own conference track) really are part ofthe essence of Industry 4.0- although the term “Industry 4.0” is newly “invented” [23–28] (Fig. 2).

The Acatech study Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index [20] defines 6 steps from “Digi-talisation” to “Industrie 4.0”. Stage one and two are more or less current industrystatus. Stage three to six represent different steps from seeing, to understanding, topredicting what will happen and finally autonomous response. Collecting and dis-playing data, (out of the “silos” and useful across the company), up-to–date models atall times, simulations, optimisation, and ultimately autonomy (response without humanassistance) are key competencies. The Acatec steps of Industry 4.0, four last (Industrie4.0) stages could mean the following for CLTE;

1. Visibility – what is happening; Instant and constant data collection and visualisa-tion along the CLTE model. A “digital shadow” (or twin) across data silos withsemantic linking of useful data for tolerancing (see also [22]).

Industry 4.0 Closed Loop Tolerance Engineering 5

Page 26: Kesheng Wang · Yi Wang Jan Ola Strandhagen · Tao Yu

2. Transparency – why is it happening; Ability to analyse and present data in a usefulway for potential users along the CLTE

3. Prediction – what will happen; Ability to use the data for simulations and opti-misations at all levels

4. Adaptability – Autonomous response –self-optimising CLTE without humanintervention. The ultimate goal for CLTE would be to have an instant and auton-omous flow of information and data across the CLTE chain “translating” infor-mation to adapt to the specific use and suggest decisions for the user. This levelwould mean that the product designer e.g. automatically gets relevant processcapabilities and suggested optimised tolerance distribution and process path as anautomated relation in the CLTE model.

3 CLTE Maturity Assessment Model

Based on the CLTE the author is here proposing a maturity assessment model CLTE.This maturity model was developed as a combination of literature study, discussionwith industry partners, and case studies in selected Norwegian companies, mainly inthe SFI Manufacturing research centre.

The CLTE maturity assessment can be used to evaluate and plan improvements in acompany regarding their management of tolerancing and variations. The model consistsof two parts; first part is assessing how well the company is performing in the 12relation loops. Secondly how information flow in the relation loops and how data isstored, assessed and used. Both can be done as self-assessment by the company and byan external expert. It would be recommended to do both followed by a reflectionworkshop with discussions on actions to improve.

3.1 Performance Assessment

The performance assessment is done by grading the company performance according toquestions given regarding the performance on the CLTE relation loops (1a–6a, 1b–6b).Grades are from (1) not applied, (2) poor, (3) medium, (4) good and (5) excellent. Thelist underneath is a simplified/summary of the questions given.1a How well are functional requirements transformed to tolerancing – by whom, in

which form and which tools?1b How well are the decision basis for selected tolerances stored and fed back to aid

functional requirements description in following projects?2a How well do the tolerances fit the manufacturing capabilities? How well are

tolerance stack-up [29], critical tolerances and reference surfaces working?2b Howwell are existing process capabilities used in tolerancing?Howwell are quality

and productivity data on current products used in tolerancing of new products?3a Are process capabilities and parameters and their effect on product performance

and inspection well known?3b Are sources of variation in product performance well understood? Is knowledge

gained in product performance tests looped back tomanufacturing? Can variation inproduct performance be traced back to variation in the manufacturing processes?

4a How are functional requirements information used in manufacturing? Are criticalparameters known and manufacturing and inspection processes sufficientlyattended?

4b How well are process capabilities fed back (and make an influence) on functionalrequirements?

5a How well are the relations between (critical) tolerances and the productperformance understood? How are defined tolerances deciding product perfor-mance assessment?

5b How well are critical tolerances and their variation influence on the productperformance understood?

6a How satisfactory is the product performance according to the functionalrequirements? How are functional requirements influencing the product perfor-mance assessment?

6b To what extent is existing product performance fed back to aid definition offunctional requirements in following projects?

The results can be shown as spider diagrams comparing the company assessment,the expert(s) assessment and the wanted future scenario/goal.

3.2 Information and Data Exchange Assessment

The second part of the maturity assessment is the information and data exchangeassessment. For each relations loop (1a to 6a, and 1b to 6b) the company must agree onwhich stage they are (and wish to be):Stage 1: No organised information exchanges.Stage 2: Information exchange based on expert’s subjective opinions. Cross-

functional teams using semi-quantitative tools such as FMEA.

Industry 4.0 Closed Loop Tolerance Engineering 7

Page 28: Kesheng Wang · Yi Wang Jan Ola Strandhagen · Tao Yu

Stage 3: Information exchange containing real data on ad-hoc basis. Time-consuming data processing and analysis using highly qualified personnel.Unknown or weak data quality with little to no meta data. Data mainly forinternal use. Some use of computer-aided decision support.

Stage 4: Systemized (but manual) regular data and information exchange, analysisand computer-aided decision support. Data management with a broader usein mind. Meta data and cross-linked data, but still manual translation ofinformation to adapt to the use. Generally good data quality and ability toassess and grade data quality.

Stage 5: Instant and autonomous data exchange. Automatic translation of data andinformation to adapt to the specific user. Automated data processing,simulation and optimisation and suggested decisions. Automated assess-ment, filtering and signal processing for maximum data quality.

3.3 Examples from Industry Case Study

The charts underneath show the results from one industry case study. It is a globalleading company in a specific niche as a Tier 1 automotive supplier. They own their ownproduct patents and are developing, manufacturing and assembling a complete range ofproducts within their niche. The assessment was made in two workshops separated by anexpert mapping and analysis. The expert assessment is based on semi-structuredinterviews, observations and analyses of a few selected products (Figs. 3 and 4).

The charts show a typical picture where the feed forward (1a to 6a) are moreadvanced than the feed-back loops (1b to 6b). Similar results can be found in othercompanies. There are some deviations on the expert vs. company self-evaluation.This is not untypical; the companies are in some cases more “hard” on themselves on

the self-assessment than the expert’s assessment. The relation performance goals are inthis case somewhat ambitious based on the current grade, but it is long-term goalswhere the company mean they have to be.

4 Discussions

4.1 Discussion on the CTLE Maturity Assessment Model

The maturity assessment model is a semi-quantitative model useful as a tool to map acompany and to point at possible improvements. This is not an exact numerical modeland any comparisons between different companies should be done with care. The casecompanies are all measuring and storing large quantities of data in product tests,numerical models etc. in product development, productivity and capability/variabilityin manufacturing, product geometry in inspection processes and measurement of actualproduct performance. The data material is, however, usually stored for a specific useand to transfer the data and extract information for use by other departments is cur-rently difficult. For example, are all data form statistical process control stored, but totranslate these charts to process capabilities and make it easy usable for the productdesigners and tolerance definition is still not straight forward. This is one of theobstacles the Industry 4.0 paradigm should solve. Stage 5 in the information and dataexchange assessment is currently not reachable for most companies. A key to this willbe a seamless interconnection of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ProductLifecycle Management (PLM), Computer Aided Engineering, including ComputerAided Tolerance Engineering software.

4.2 Shortcomings of the CTLE Model – Future Extensions

The CLTE model is currently focusing on the process within one company. Futuremodels must include tolerancing and variation management in the supplier vs. cus-tomer relations in the supply-and distribution chain. Furthermore; future CLTE modelsshould include information and data exchange with product use phase and end-of-lifeand possibly remanufacturing of products. One of the current trends are the manu-facturers liability of products after end-of-life (EOL) as well as the extension of theproduct to a product-service system. Products containing sensors opens for newbusiness models, but the data collected could also be used for future CLTE activities,such as functional requirement definitions. Tolerance engineering and variation man-agement will also be vital for a circular manufacturing with increasing remanufacturingof products and components rather than re-melting or disposal at the EOL.

5 Conclusions and Further Work

Industry 4.0 will most likely open new opportunities for information flow, dataassessment and exchange for variation management and tolerancing engineering. Thispaper has suggested a maturity model that can be used to lift tolerancing on the agenda

and point at improvement potentials for companies. This is a proposal for a manage-ment tool. Further work would see longitudinal results from industries using the toolwith measured improvements.
