Abstract

In this paper we will discuss two different layout concepts which can be applied to rail-vehicle assembly factory. The existing system is based on the traditional flow line, and the suggested system is based on the fixed position layout. The main factors which affect on the system performances are the variation of process time, shortage rate of part and the shortage period. Simulation experiments indicate that the fixed position layout is better with respect to the throughput, mean flow time per vehicle and the mean flow time per fleet. Furthermore, the fixed position layout is more robust than the flow line because performance measures are insensitive to the variations of factors.

이 논문에서는 철도차량 의장공장에서 적용되는 두 종류의 배치안 개념에 대한 논의하고자 한다. 현재 시스템은 전통적인 흐름라인 방식에 따라 조립라인이 설계되어 있지만 새로운 시스템은 고정위치형 배치방식을 따르고자 한다. 시스템에 영향을 주는 요소로는 공정시간의 변동성, 결품률 및 결품시간의 분포를 고려하였다. 시뮬레이션 실험결과 해당시스템의 경우 생산량, 차량당 평균 체류시간, 편성당 평균 체류시간 모두 고정위치형 배치방식을 사용하는 것이 좋다는 결론을 얻었다. 또한 시스템의 고정위치형 방식이 흐름라인 방식에 비해 변화에 둔감하게 반응함으로써 강건성 측면에서도 우수하다는 결론을 얻었다.
