Manufacturing is one of the most crucial sectors of the economy. Nowadays, more and more countries are realizing that manufacturing brings wealth to their societies. Therefore, development of the manufacturing industry has become one of the key items on the agenda of governments. Not only developing countries, but developed countries also recognize these imperatives. The progress in manufacturing has gone through several major evolutionary stages in recent years, from early process automation to factory automation. However, manufacturing system design still remains mostly in the trial-and-error stage. A manufacturing system is the key to efficient and effective coordination of resources, and is especially critical to the quality of products and services. It can hardly be left to trial-and-error. Since the quality of a system has to be built in through design, the subject of manufacturing system design is realized as one of the most important areas of research. However, due to the dynamics and the complexity of manufacturing systems, it is also recognized as one of the most difficult.

The rapid growth in additive manufacturing technologies have brought various optimization techniques and methodologies to improve each phase that needs to be integrated and analyzed on system level to optimize the system performance. The challenges and limitations of each phase affect the system when integrated as a whole - creating a complex manufacturing environment that needs to be critically examined and managed. To have a better management of complex, emergent, and uncertain manufacturing system from design to recycling phase, a new way of thinking based on more holistic approach is necessary. In this paper, the system of systems paradigm (SoS) is introduced to treat additive manufacturing system as a whole and to present some SoS approaches that are based on holistic thinking. This paper provides a conceptual knowledge of SoS approach using systems principles, laws and approach emphasizing the characteristics and attributes of complex manufacturing system to the AM domain.

This thesis is focused on advancing embroidered wearable electronics and textile electronics by creating open-source flexible resistors. Advancements in textile electronics could usher a new generation of smart devices that are entirely flexible. Current systems on cloth primarily use rigid components, which limits the flexibility and comfort of using the fabric devices. To advance this field, I propose a novel method of creating flexible electrical resistors with embroidery. To realize this technology, I created an open-source tool to create embroidery files for machine fabrication. This thesis details the methods and tools created for resistor fabrication. The resistors were tested to cover a range of conditions wearable electronic devices may be subjected to, then tested in an applied setting by being used in a touch sensing device. It is concluded that the embroidered resistors are a viable technology and warrant continued study, development, and use.
