<description>Decision-making in the manufacturing environment using a value-risk graph
SHAH, Liaqat Ali; VERNADAT, François; SIADAT, Ali; ETIENNE, Alain
A value-risk based decision-making tool is proposed for performance assessment of manufacturing scenarios. For this purpose, values (i.e. qualitative objective statements) and concerns (i.e. qualitative risk statements) of stakeholders in any given manufacturing scenario are first identified and are made explicit via objective and risk modeling. Next, performance and risk measures are derived from the corresponding objective and risk models to evaluate the scenario under study. After that, upper and lower bounds, and target value is defined for each measure in order to determine goals and constraints for the given scenario. Because of the multidimensionality nature of performance, the identified objectives and risks, and so, their corresponding measures are usually numerous and heterogeneous in nature. These measures are therefore consolidated to obtain a global performance indicator of value and global indicator of risk while keeping in views the inter-criteria influences. Finally, the global indicators are employed to develop minimum acceptable value and maximum acceptable risk for the scenario under study and plotted on the VR-Graph to demarcate zones of “highly desirable”, “feasible”, “and risky” as well as the “unacceptable” one. The global scores of the indicators: (value-risk) pair of the actual scenario is then plotted on the defined VR-Graph to facilitate decision-making by rendering the scenarios’ performance more visible and clearer. The proposed decision-making tool is illustrated with an example from manufacturing setup in the process context but it can be extended to product or systems evaluation.

<title>Performance Visualization in Industrial Systems for Informed Decision Making</title>

<description>Performance Visualization in Industrial Systems for Informed Decision Making
SHAH, Liaqat Ali; VERNADAT, François; SIADAT, Ali; ETIENNE, Alain
Information visualization is a key component of many decision support tools in sciences and engineering. Graph is a visual construct that is widely used to model information for visualization. In this paper, a value-risk graph is proposed to visualize the results of value-risk based performance measurement systems (PMSs). The proposed graph for PMS divides the overall performance of industrial systems into distinct zones to facilitate the decision-making process. The upper bound, lower bound, and target value of each measure are decided by the performance evaluator and, then, transformed into normalized values using value theory principles. The aggregation of normalized measures along value and risk lines when combined defines “highly desirable”, “feasible”, ”risky”, and “unacceptable” zones. Scenario performance data when plotted on the graph visualize the overall performance of the system in terms of value and risk. The proposed decision-making value-risk graph is illustrated with an example dealing with manufacturing process design but it can be applied to any kind of system evaluation.
