Model Grouping in a Mixed-model Assembly Line

조립생산 시스템에서의 혼합 모델 그룹화

This paper investigates the problems of grouping N products on an assembly line with an objective of maximizing the option grouping rate. Before developing a mixed model grouping algorithm, simulation studies are committed for developing operating rules and evaluating the layout production systems. A mixed model grouping algorithm is suggested and it is applied to the color selection lane in automobile production system, which reveals a high mixed model grouping rate.
