Industrial Plant Layout Analyzing Based on SNA
Summary (1 min read)
Introduction
- Research topics, which has been increasingly being applied for solving different kind of problems, including industrial manufacturing ones.
- The study aims at analysing the importance of using SNA techniques to analyse important relations between entities in a manufacturing environment, such as jobs and resources in the context of industrial plant layout analysis.
- Section 3 presents a brief literature review about some more or less closely related work about the application of SNA techniques.
- The three basic elements in social networks are actors, ties and graphs [4].
- Social network analysis (SNA) is the study of social structure [6].
A. SNA measures
- The main measures considered in SNA are cohesion measures and centrality measures.
- Centrality measures identify the most prominent actors, i.e. those extensively involved in relationships with other network members [8].
- Accordingly, the authors conclude that the expected relationship between sharing interests and communicating exists only for very active authors while less active authors do not answer everyone who has similar interests.
- Therefore, their objective consisted on investigating fragmentation in water infrastructure planning, to understand how actors from different decision levels and sectors are represented, and which interests they follow [12].
- Here, from the considered case study the data has been taken which has been analysed through various SNA tools.
A. Network modelling
- Network consists of set of nodes connected with ties indicating interaction.
- Using Netdraw the authors have represented the matrix in the form of collaboration network.
- The network is made much interesting and meaningful by showing a variation in the representation of the resources and jobs in terms of shape, size, and colour.
- With the data that has been collected from the case study and their details with three centralities has been shown in Table 2.
- The relationship between the attributes (jobs and resources) is represented in Figure 1.
B. Network analysis
- The main objective of network analysis is to breakdown and comprehend the complex information of the structure in to collaboration networks for potential synergies.
- The centrality is used to find how influential a node is in the network and also the interrelations among them for its complete analysis.
- Thus, the authors have identified the key resources which are having higher degree centrality can act as hubs and they can serve as the central elements of the industrial plant.
- This data can be used to analyse the order in which the resources of the plant need to be arranged and how close each resource need to be from each other.
- From the above analysis the authors have gained complete understanding of the various relations among the resources to complete the assigned jobs effectively.
