We have applied the principles of chaos theory to optimizing the manufacturing process. A simulation system was created in which multiple parameters were modified to denote the effect of chaotic changes on the net profit derived. The companies that are successful in modeling their manufacturing systems in a simplistic manner can look forward to increased profit, better control and simpler manufacturing systems. Finding and selecting the correct set of parameters to subject to chaotic changes is time consuming. There are countless operating parameters that could be selected and the interaction of those parameters may have varying degrees of success on trying to optimize the manufacturing process. Certain parametric interactions may increase revenue, while other interactions may actually do the inverse.
