Abstract

Lead time estimation (LTE) is difficult to carry out, especially within the RFID-enabled real-time manufacturing shopfloor environment since large number of factors may greatly affect its precision. This paper proposes a data mining approach with four steps each of which is equipped with suitable mathematical models to analysis the LTE from a real-life case and then to quantitatively examine its key impact factors such as processing routine, batching strategy, scheduling rules and critical parameters of specification. Experiments are carried out for this purpose and results imply that batching strategy, scheduling rules and two specification parameters largely influence the LTE, while, processing routine has less impact in this case.
