A Rapid Simulation and Optimization Study of Production Line

Abstract:

Based on intermittent production line balance problem, Minitab statistical tool is used for data random distribution fitting in this paper and the car body production line model of one company is established and simulated under Flexsim environment, which benefits the line imbalance problem to be found quickly and accurately. Designing optimal program based on project management network analysis and making simulation and evaluation, the productivity is improved effectively and the time to balance and optimize production line is shortened greatly.
