Summary of Research

Process re-engineering and transformation of manufacturing data into readable, accessible and smart structured data is a big challenge in manufacturing organizations as shown by the high rate of failure. This research aims to design a re-engineering process which will have a better success rate. This research integrates process re-engineering and manufacturing data to identify process interdependencies. It proposes a new hybrid data-driven process re-engineering method integrated with cause and effect algorithm to transform data into smart structured data as a procedure for process identification and mapping and incorporates process verification to analyse the changes made in a manufacturing process. The research will provide a new process re-engineering methodology and a cause and effect algorithm for manufacturing optimization.
