Abstract

Due to the characteristics of the railway system, a fleet consists of multiple railway vehicles, and a project contract is made by supplying multiple fleets to the customer. If the project fails to meet the due date, the manufacturer must compensate for the delay to the customer. In this paper, we analyze the operation strategies of the railway vehicle manufacturing factory using simulation, in which the layout adopts the concept of the flow lines, and when shortages of parts are considered. If there is a shortage of parts, the subsequent assembly process cannot proceed due to the nature of the assembly process. Thus, in order to overcome this problem, three strategies for performing assembly work are presented when the events of shortages are occurred. We also compare the strategies with respect to reduce the total cost which includes labor costs and compensation costs for delay.

철도차량은 제품의 특성상 일정한 수량의 차량이 결합되어 편성이 구성되며, 프로젝트는 복수의 편성을 고객에게 납품하는 것으로 계약이 이뤄지는데 만일 납기를 지키지 못하면 생산자가 지체보상금을 고객에게 지불해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 부품의 결품이 발생하는 상황에서 흐름라인 방식으로 운영되는 철도차량 의장공장의 운영전략에 대해 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 분석한다. 만일 부품의 결품이 발생한다면 조립공정의 특성상 후속 조립공정이 진행될 수 없다. 따라서 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 부품의 결품이 발생했을 때 조립작업을 수행하는 3가지 전략을 제시하였고, 인건비와 지체보상금을 합한 총 비용이 전략에 따라 어떻게 변화되는지 비교하였다.
