| Abstract | Product classification has become a strategic approach for manufacturers to increase orders and reduce waste by allocating products of varying quality, generally called coproducts, to orders with varying customer requirements. As a manufacturer receives more orders, it is necessary to evaluate the capability and uncertainty of a production system in fulfilling all received orders; the system is modeled as a multi-state production network considering rework action (MPNR) that incorporates the possible capacities of each manufacturing process and their associated probabilities. An algorithm is developed to assess the probability of meeting demand for different product quality levels under rework actions. This probability, defined as network reliability, serves as a performance metric for manufacturers in order acceptance decision-making. A jumper cable manufacturing system with a rework process is presented as a case study to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm.
