The Curing Cycle Grouping of Aerospace Composite Shop

Article Preview

Abstract:

The production environment of aerospace industry is make-to-order. Aircraft parts should have higher precision and lightweight to achieve the requirements of safety, payload, and controllability. The composite part has become more important, profitable and value-added in aircraft industry. The main processes of composite parts are prepreg cutting, lay-up, autoclave curing, hand routing and painting. Due to the aerospace composite shop is mixed production line, the parts belong to different customers/ projects that have their own raw materials and curing cycles. The integration of resources from upstream to downstream to meet the demand of each customer/project is critical to shop floor control of composite shop. The purpose of this study is aimed to construct the grouping of curing cycles to simplify the complexity of different customers/ projects, harmonize the production rhythm of all work centers. It is believed that this study can increase the competitive advantages of composite shop in the global aerospace market.
