Performance evaluation of manufacturing systems using GSPN with energy consumption and human resource allocation annotations

The globalized and highly competitive manufacturing industries have been imposing several challenges upon the field of production engineering. Tuning systems to high performance within cost constraints has been a reality and a critical factor of success for them. Hence, traditional performance metrics are not enough to supply these manufacturing industries. In order to improve the performance evaluation of such systems, this paper proposes a GSPN with energy consumption and human resources allocation annotations. The validation of the proposed model has been carried out through the execution of a case study inside a Brazilian meat processing industry.
