Such volatility is encountered in every stage of manufacturing, and the delays in the production line propagate this volatility to the successive step. A delay in the production process is equivalent to a "fluctuation" in physical phenomena. For example, there is the deviation from the thermal equilibrium state to fluctuations in physics. The propagation of fluctuation (volatility) in each stage delays the entire process. In this study, we mathematically analyzed this phenomenon and assessed whether volatility is encountered during manufacturing. Finally, we examined the propagation of fluctuationinduced delays to successive stages in manufacturing.}, pages = {169--182}, title = {PROPAGATION OF WORKING-TIME DELAY IN PRODUCTION}, volume = {10}, year = {2014}, yomi = {シライ, ケンジ and アマノ, ヨシノリ and オオマツ, シゲル} }
