Alocação de modelos de produtos a equipes de trabalhadores baseada em modelos de curvas de aprendizagem Assignment of product models to worker teams using learning curve models

Em ambientes de alta customização, uma grande variedade de modelos de produtos é demandada pelos consumidores. Essa condição exige uma rápida adequação dos meios produtivos às especificações do próximo modelo a ser produzido. Tal situação, contudo, pode acarretar perdas consideráveis em relação aos níveis de produção e qualidade, em decorrência da pouca habilidade dos trabalhadores nos ciclos iniciais de produção de um novo modelo. Assim, a modelagem do processo de aprendizado de trabalhadores atuando sobre cada modelo de produto pode auxiliar a gerência na alocação de modelos de produtos a equipes de trabalhadores, minimizando as perdas verificadas nos primeiros ciclos de produção. Este artigo apresenta uma metodologia baseada na utilização de curvas de aprendizagem como balizadoras da alocação de modelos de produtos a equipes de trabalhadores. Os diversos modelos de produtos são agrupados em famílias de acordo com suas características similares, permitindo uma redução na coleta de dados. A alocação das famílias às equipes é realizada através da análise das curvas de aprendizagem. Duas formas de alocação são apresentadas, de acordo com a duração da corrida de produção. A metodologia proposta é ilustrada através de um estudo de caso em uma indústria do setor calçadista.<br>In highly customized markets a large variety of product models are typically demanded by customers. That requires fast setup of production resources to comply with specifications of the next model to be produced. Such compliance, however, may cause considerable production and quality losses due to workers' poor performance during the initial production runs of a new model. Therefore, modeling workers' learning upon exposure to each product model may help production managers to define the best assignment scheme for models and workers, such that losses in the initial stages of production are minimized. This paper presents a methodology that uses learning curves to guide the best assignment of product models to teams of workers. Product models are first clustered into families based on their similarities, leading to a smaller data collection. Then allocation of product families to teams is carried based on the analysis of their corresponding learning curves. Two courses of action are then proposed, depending on whether the production batch will lead to longer or shorter production runs. The proposed methodology is illustrated in a case study from the shoe manufacturing industry

Euclid: Testing photometric selection of emission-line galaxy targets

International audienceMulti-object spectroscopic galaxy surveys typically make use of photometric and colour criteria to select targets. Conversely, the Euclid NISP slitless spectrograph will record spectra for every source over its field of view. Slitless spectroscopy has the advantage of avoiding defining a priori a galaxy sample, but at the price of making the selection function harder to quantify. The Euclid Wide Survey aims at building robust statistical samples of emission-line galaxies with fluxes in the Halpha-NII complex brighter than 2e-16 erg/s/cm^2 and within 0.9<z<1.8. At faint fluxes, we expect significant contamination by wrongly measured redshifts, either due to emission-line misidentification or noise fluctuations, with the consequence of reducing the purity of the final samples. This can be significantly improved by exploiting Euclid photometric information to identify emission-line galaxies over the redshifts of interest. To this goal, we compare and quantify the performance of six machine-learning classification algorithms. We consider the case when only Euclid photometric and morphological measurements are used and when these are supplemented by ground-based photometric data. We train and test the classifiers on two mock galaxy samples, the EL-COSMOS and Euclid Flagship2 catalogues. Dense neural networks and support vector classifiers obtain the best performance, with comparable results in terms of the adopted metrics. When training on Euclid photometry alone, these can remove 87% of the sources that are fainter than the nominal flux limit or lie outside the range 0.9<z<1.8, a figure that increases to 97% when ground-based photometry is included. These results show how by using the photometric information available to Euclid it will be possible to efficiently identify and discard spurious interlopers, allowing us to build robust spectroscopic samples for cosmological investigations

Euclid: Identifying the reddest high-redshift galaxies in the Euclid Deep Fields with gradient-boosted trees

International audienceDusty, distant, massive ($M_*\gtrsim 10^{11}\,\rm M_\odot$) galaxies are usually found to show a remarkable star-formation activity, contributing on the order of $25\%$ of the cosmic star-formation rate density at $z\approx3$--$5$, and up to $30\%$ at $z\sim7$ from ALMA observations. Nonetheless, they are elusive in classical optical surveys, and current near-infrared surveys are able to detect them only in very small sky areas. Since these objects have low space densities, deep and wide surveys are necessary to obtain statistically relevant results about them. Euclid will be potentially capable of delivering the required information, but, given the lack of spectroscopic features at these distances within its bands, it is still unclear if it will be possible to identify and characterize these objects. The goal of this work is to assess the capability of Euclid, together with ancillary optical and near-infrared data, to identify these distant, dusty and massive galaxies, based on broadband photometry. We used a gradient-boosting algorithm to predict both the redshift and spectral type of objects at high $z$. To perform such an analysis we make use of simulated photometric observations derived using the SPRITZ software. The gradient-boosting algorithm was found to be accurate in predicting both the redshift and spectral type of objects within the Euclid Deep Survey simulated catalog at $z>2$. In particular, we study the analog of HIEROs (i.e. sources with $H-[4.5]>2.25$), combining Euclid and Spitzer data at the depth of the Deep Fields. We found that the dusty population at $3\lesssim z\lesssim 7$ is well identified, with a redshift RMS and OLF of only $0.55$ and $8.5\%$ ($H_E\leq26$), respectively. Our findings suggest that with Euclid we will obtain meaningful insights into the role of massive and dusty galaxies in the cosmic star-formation rate over time
