• Title: Mixed-model Sequencing with Reinsertion of Failed Vehicles: A Case Study for Automobile Industry
• Authors: I. Ozan Yilmazlar, Mary E. Kurz
• Abstract summary: In the automotive industry, some vehicles, failed vehicles, cannot be produced according to the planned schedule due to some reasons such as material shortage, paint failure, etc. On the other hand, the reinsertion of failed vehicles is executed dynamically as suitable positions occur. This study proposes a biobjective two-stage program and formulation improvements for a mixed-model sequencing problem with product failures and integrated reinsertion process.

• Abstract: In the automotive industry, some vehicles, failed vehicles, cannot be produced according to the planned schedule due to some reasons such as material shortage, paint failure, etc. These vehicles are pulled out of the sequence, potentially resulting in an increased work overload. On the other hand, the reinsertion of failed vehicles is executed dynamically as suitable positions occur. In case such positions do not occur enough, either the vehicles waiting for reinsertion accumulate or reinsertions are made to worse positions by sacrificing production efficiency. This study proposes a bi-objective two-stage stochastic program and formulation improvements for a mixed-model sequencing problem with stochastic product failures and integrated reinsertion process. Moreover, an evolutionary optimization algorithm, a two-stage local search algorithm, and a hybrid approach are developed. Numerical experiments over a case study show that while the hybrid algorithm better explores the Pareto front representation, the local search algorithm provides more reliable solutions regarding work overload objective. Finally, the results of the dynamic reinsertion simulations show that we can decrease the work overload by ~20\% while significantly decreasing the waiting time of the failed vehicles by considering vehicle failures and integrating the reinsertion process into the mixed-model sequencing problem.

  A world model is a neural network capable of predicting an agent's next state given past states and actions. During end-to-end training, our policy learns how to recover from errors by aligning with states observed in human demonstrations.

  We benchmark machine learning models against perturbations that simulate functional insufficiencies observed during model deployment in a vehicle. Training the models with similar perturbations effectively reduces performance degradation, with error increases of up to +87.5%. We argue that despite being an effective mitigation strategy, data augmentation through perturbations during training does not guarantee robustness towards unforeseen perturbations.
