A Predictive Data-Driven Framework for Multi-Line Manufacturing Throughput Analysis

: Understanding and predicting throughput time in multi-line manufacturing environments is a core challenge in industrial simulation and production planning. This paper proposes a simulation-informed analytical framework applied to a real-world event-log dataset comprising 28,026 parts produced across 13 heterogeneous lines over 13 operating days. The framework addresses three objectives: i) characterising per-line throughput distributions, ii) quantifying the impact of equipment downtime on cycle time, and iii) forecasting shift-level production using pre-shift features. Downtime is significantly associated with increased cycle times ( p = 0 . 020), although correlation patterns vary across lines. Change-point detection (PELT) identifies intra-shift disruptions in 11.2% of shifts, typically occurring in the second half, suggesting cumulative degradation effects. A consistent time-of-day effect is observed across most lines. For prediction, global models outperform per-line approaches due to data sparsity. Under a rolling-window protocol, Ridge Regression achieves R 2 = 0 . 570 (MAE = 36 . 3 parts/shift). Feature importance analysis indicates that recent production history dominates predictive performance.

Managing Cybersecurity Compliance with Structured Guidance and Integrated Audit Support

: As cybersecurity regulations such as ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIS2 Directive continue to expand in scope and complexity, organizations face growing challenges in translating regulatory obligations into actionable security policies and audit-ready evidence. Conventional compliance approaches rely on manual interpretation of regulatory texts, fragmented documentation repositories, and ad hoc audit preparation, introducing operational bottlenecks and exposing organizations to non-compliance risks. This paper presents a compliance management platform that operationalizes regulatory requirements through structured, expert-guided control implementation. It combines NLP extraction with human-supervised annotation to convert regulatory texts into machine-readable frameworks, enabling multi-framework management (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and NIS2), control mapping, evidence tracking, and role-based audit workflows. In a task-based usability study with twelve participants, the platform scored 83.3 on the System Usability Scale (SUS), rated “excellent,” indicating that embedded guidance can reduce expertise barriers in cybersecurity compliance management.
