Identification of Tight Spots to an Automatic Mechanical Assembly Line, by Simulation WINQSB

Abstract:

In this work the authors present the result of the theoretical researches and experiences concerning the identification and elimination of the tight places in the automatic montage of the electric ignition devices used in the pyrotechnic industry for improving the labour productivity. Taking into account the fact the above production system is an expectation system depending on a theoretical study followed by computer simulation with the data processing product WINQSB, Queing System Simulation module, we identified the tight places that generate expectation queues when remaking, verifying and assembling the electric ignition devices of the indigenous electric detonators. In this way, using the WINQSB simulation, we offered solutions for 3 analysis types: the ensemble and marks analysis which entered the system, the analysis of the working machines using and the analysis of the queues.
