Layout Improvement for Mixed-Model Production Offline Area Based on Fundamental Industrial Engineering and Simulation

Abstract:

In a mixed-model assembly down line area, products need to be lifted to the suitable racks one by one by two labors. Then the forklift will take the racks to other zone. For security reasons, there is a zone where labors and forklift cant work simultaneously. Also the racks need to be changed often according to the product types because of the mixed-model production. These activities are not value-added. All the above reasons lead to low efficient output. Fundamental industrial engineering methods are used to analyze the process of down line area and find the nature of the problem. Two improved plans are given based on the analysis. At last simulation for discrete events is used to verify the two plans. The simulation results show that the output efficiency of the down line area can be improved by increasing the racks counts and partitioning the racks.
