METHOD FOR TARGET DRIVEN CHARTING IN FLAT SHEET INDUSTRIES

摘要

Optimal charting patterns for charting of raw rolls/sheets from flat sheet industry are produced with a processing system and includes the steps of: (a) receiving user selected business objectives; (b) receiving user selected business preferences; (c) setting targets for user selected business preferences; (d) establishing charting constraint sets; (e) generating charting patterns based on user selected business objectives and targets for user selected business preferences; and (f) selecting charting patterns based on targets for user selected business preference using an objective function, wherein the objective function includes terms related to the user selected business objectives. Target driven charting assists users in knowing the bounds (upper and/or lower) of the values for various business objectives for an individual charting run. The analysis of bounds allows for explicit understanding of the trade-offs between various business objectives and enables users to prioritize their business goals separately for each charting batch or run.
