Information technology of decision-making in the management of branched-cyclic technological processes

 

Cyclic technological processes are widely used in all areas of industrial production [1]. They are characterized by a closed-loop process scheme in which the process or any subprocess returns to initial stage. During one cycle of the process the original form of the product may be transform to final and intermediate form, which is suitable for further processing. At this stage you should decide to move to the next stage [2]. The complexity of the decision-making algorithm depends on the structure of the technological process. In particular, unlike the treelike branching processes, in a cyclic technological processes may be repeated loop to the fulfillment of certain stages of the process.

The effective management of branched-cyclic technological processes (BCTP) is actual problem, because of complexity of monitoring and control in automated control system of BCTP. Decision-making is an important task for the effective management of technological processes [3].

The purpose of the article is to develop the effective information technology (IT) of decision-making and improve the quality of decisions in the management of branched-cyclic technological processes.

Architecture of information technology of decision-making in the management of BCTP is represented as an algorithm of decision-making and UML-class diagrams. The constructed algorithm of decision-making in the management of BCTP is based on [2] and shown in Fig. 1.

Development of the structure of classes is performed in several stages. We show classes of primary stage that are realizing the basic use cases and the relationships between them (Fig. 2). "Information technology» is a common multi-window interface. «Access» is the class of access control to the system. «DataBase» class consists of three main entities: options of BCTP structures, elements of BCTP,

algorithms for data collection and knowledge base. «Model» class consists of three basic operations: model transformation as a graph and performance operation of model evaluation. The model includes parameters uncertainty of the operations and inputs resources (raw of materials, etc.), that is leading to uncertainty in the results of operations. «Risk» class includes operations: calculation of static characteristics of technological process operations, the calculation of transition probabilities between operations, calculation of cost factors, the calculation of probability characteristics of each alternative path of process, the calculation of total losses, and the calculation of the overall risk of technological process. «Optimization» class includes basic  operations of calculation of optimization criterion values and searching of the best way of BCTP.

Conclusions. Method of risk assessment of decision making in the management of BCTP is improved. The main components of IT are implemented in «TP Build» DSS.
