Cycle Time Design and Simulation for a Certain Kind of Automatic Production Line

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a cycle time design rule for a certain kind of time-constraint and re-entrant automatic production line. A computation model of the productive time and productivity is presented. Then, the cycle time under different schemes according to a real technology process is given. The design rule of this kind of line is deduced by a lot of simulations at last.
