Abstract

Automotive manufacturing is a complex task that requires the production and assembly of thousands of different components or parts. The engine and the transmission are the major components that constitute a power train system. Although manufacturing processes of an engine are similar, the layouts of the manufacturing lines are different from factory to factory. It is due to the different design concept that how to combine the serial and parallel structures. In this paper, three engine lines of different factories are introduced, and the simulation technology is used to make the performance analysis for different design concepts.

자동차 제조업은 수천 가지의 다른 구성품 또는 부품의 조립이 필요한 복잡한 생산시스템이다. 엔진과 트랜스미션은 자동차의 동력을 담당하는 주요 구성품이다. 엔진의 경우 생산공정이 대부분 유사한 공정들로 구성되어 있음에도 불구하고 공장별로 생산시스템의 배치안은 상이하다. 그 이유는 각 공장마다 기계들을 어떠한 직렬구조와 병렬구조를 조합하여 배치하는지에 대한 개념이 다르기 때문이다. 이 논문에서는 서로 다른 공장에서 적용하고 있는 세 종류의 엔진 라인을 소개한다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 각 라인의 설계개념이 라인의 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 비교분석하고자 한다.
