Human Error Simulation of Manufacturing Cell Based on Human-Machine Integrated Model

Abstract:

In order to analyze human error how to have effect on manufacturing cell and improve manufacturing efficiency from operators’ point of view, manufacturing cell human error simulation model based on the principle of human-machine integrated is proposed firstly. The realized process of manufacturing cell simulation model is detailed described. After that, human behaviors in manufacturing cell were analyzed and realization mechanisms of main model were introduced. Finally, applied above model and theory in a motorcycle manufacturing cell and simulated various human errors. The simulation result shows that human errors have significant effect on evaluating manufacturing cell performance and the influence degree increased along with the possibility of human make errors. As a result, different production mode should be adopted according to different configuration scheme of organization and personnel stability.
