Functional Modeling of an Assembly Line Supplied in Synchronous

Abstract:

The present paper is part of a broader study of the authors, consisting of modeling and simulating several production systems. Functional modeling of a workstation supplied by various methods was carried out and presented in the paper [. This paper presents the functional modeling of an assembly line composed of 4 workstations with manual activities, designed to make 4 types of products (multi-product line). The supply with parts of the line is made with kitting system. The novelty of this study is the use of IDEF0 functional modeling method to describe the functioning of the assembly line in which the supply method is synchronous. The functional model developed had allowed to identify and to design the kitting and picking circuits, as for the highlighting of the traces followed by the components to the workstations, depending on their type of supply. This model can be extended and used to other assembly lines supplied in synchronous.
