Background and scope of the project
Accurate machining time estimation is essential for planning, cost control, and production efficiency. Traditional time study methods are often manual, slow, and not detailed enough. Existing solutions provide partial support but frequently lack flexibility and standardization.
To address these issues, this thesis investigates the requirements for more accurate and efficient time study calculations. This includes gathering end-user input, analyzing current practices and existing solutions, and identifying their shortcomings. A prototype based on the proposed solution will be developed to validate the findings.
The scope of the project is limited to defining and testing algorithms for selected operation types, developing a prototype to demonstrate their feasibility, and summarizing findings, challenges, and recommended solution directions. The results will be presented in both written and oral form.
Purpose
The purpose is to investigate and develop analytical and AI-supported methods for improving the accuracy and efficiency of machining time estimation in manufacturing. The thesis aims to define the necessary data requirements, design appropriate algorithms, and create a prototype to validate the proposed approach.
