CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A turbine blade moves sequentially through forging, CNC milling, thermal barrier coating, laser drilling, and CMM inspection. After inspection, each blade is either accepted or rejected based on measured dimensions.

Key decisions

  • Model sequential manufacturing steps as transitions with work-in-process places.
  • Represent CMM inspection pass/fail as two competing transitions from the drilled state.
  • Define accepted and scrap as terminal places with no outgoing arcs.

When to reuse this

Reuse for any linear production or inspection flow with a final binary quality gate and explicit handling of accepted vs rejected units.
