Firstly, the machining process network model is constructed based on the complex network theory. The LeaderRank algorithm is used to identify the critical processes in the machining process. Secondly, the Entropy-CRITIC method is used to calculate the weight of the quality features of the critical processes, and the critical quality features of the critical processes are determined according to weight ranking results. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the method are verified by taking the medium-speed marine diesel engine coupling rod machining as an example. The results show that the method can still effectively identify the critical quality features in the case of small sample data and provide support for machining process optimization and quality control, thus improving product consistency, reliability, and machining efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers13090216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T09:39:32Z","timestamp":1725010772000},"page":"216","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Research on Identification of Critical Quality Features of Machining Processes Based on Complex Networks and Entropy-CRITIC Methods"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Dongyue","family":"Qu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4543-2957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenchao","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuting","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Advanced Technology, Heilongjiang Academy of Sciences, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5409-4201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chaoyun","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangyu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"812","article-title":"Identification and clustering analysis of critical processes for multi-variety and small-batch manufacturing processes","volume":"28","author":"Chen","year":"2022","journal-title":"Comput.
