Optimization of the Automobile Parts Mixed Production Line Based on EM-Plant

Abstract:

The balance of mixed production line is the key issue, which means to adjust the working load to make working hour equal to production TAKT as well as to average the working hour of each station. Firstly, the automobile piston mixed production line system was analyzed by eM-Plant, which was carried out by object-oriented modeling and process-oriented simulation. After evaluating the production line performance, including the utilization rate of equipment and worker, the bottlenecks of the mixed production line were indentified. Finally, the relative measures were put forward to solve it, which makes the enterprise obtains the ability of rapid response to market demands.
