The Performance Evaluation and The Layout Improvement of the Engine Manufacturing Line Using Simulation

시뮬레이션을 사용한 엔진생산라인의 성능평가 및 설계개선

When we construct a manufacturing plant, optimal design is very important. This paper is to simulate an engine manufacturing flow line for commercial vehicle. The parameters we consider in simulation include facility downtime, tool change time, buffer size between consecutive stations, and time to repair the facility. We use AutoMod to compare the alternatives. The objective is to minimize the total cost. Simulation results provide significant cost saving by improving the current design and policy.
