Abstract

The ever increasing sales of Apple's iPad have created a tablet computer craze, attracting various manufacturers to invest and conduct research in this sector. Meanwhile, the production cost is crucial to being considered in the craze. To lower the cost, manufacturers are striving to develop reasonable and complete manufacturing processes. We have herewith proposed a Petri net model to describe the system structure and to label out the simulated operation messages or dynamic decision‐making behaviors. The key minimal cost path is finally found so as to manifest the optimal decision‐making on the production flow. Finally, the software tool, PIPE‐2, is used to verify the algorithm of finding the minimal cost path. Thus, the experimental results successfully demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
