Today, manufacturers are forced to acknowledge that the life cycles of products are becoming shorter. In the case of the door trim assembly field, the highly frequent introduction of new products and the continuous increase in product varieties leads to the demand for redesigning assembly systems more often. Modular manufacturing systems can be an important issue in helping to overcome these problems. This paper presents the development of a modular assembly system for the door trim, and because it takes the change drives into consideration, this system is highly flexible in adapting to changes in the environment.

Occupant protection in the side impact of a vehicle becomes one of the most important issues today. So, to reduce development time and cost, it needs test equipment which conducts an accurate simulation of the side impact crash. This paper describes a new test method for side impact, which utilizes a standard 12inch-HYGE-type sled facility. If a side impact sled test can simulate vehicle intrusion very well, it will contribute to develop full-scale side impact crash performance. The newly developed sled test method enables simulation for dummy motion, injury, door velocity, trim crack, and vehicle structure to be accurate. Ant also this sled test method can be applied to the development of side air-bag.

In this paper, a disassemblability evaluation has been investigated quantitatively by using an ease-of-disassembly design method. Four categories such as recognizability, approachability, separability, and treatability have been analyzed in details. A simulation software for estimating the ease-of-disassembly design method has been developed and applied to door trim and spin basket respectively as an example.

In this paper, same parts of a domestic automobiles and foreign automobiles are disassembled fur the evaluation of disassemblability, especially door trim and bumper. Influencing factors of disassembly are determined by the classification of bottleneck process in disassembly process. On the bases of disassembly sequence and structure of parts and subassembly, disassemblability is classified into aye categories. The influencing factors, which are related with the five categories are determined. By these relations, the checklist for disassembly evaluation is draw up and score tables of checked factors are established. For the establishing the disassembly score tables, the weighting values of each five categories are calculated by the disassembly test of automobiles and then, the weighting values of each influencing factors of five categories are calculated by the method of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). And the last, the weighting values are modified and recalculated from the disassembly test. Using these weighting values, the score of influencing factors are determined and then, the score tables are established based on the score of influencing factors.

In order to increase competitiveness and to gain economic benefit, companies ask more and more how to recycle their products in a efficient way. So far, to answer this question, companies are not sufficiently supported by suitable methods specially in the area of disassembly process planning. For this reason, we develop in collaboration with an industrial partner a new method for generating an optimal disassembly sequence. In the presented paper this method will be described in detail by considering the exiting assembly information, disassembly method and disassembly depth. PLM (Profit-Loss Margin) curve that is used to determine disassembly depth consists of profit value, disassembly cost and disassembly effect. Using assessment parameters, generated alternative disassembly sequences are evaluated and optimal disassembly sequence is proposed. This method is applied to generate the optimal disassembly sequence of Door Trim as an example.

A procedure predicting warpage and post-deformation due to heat resistance test is presented. The procedure is applied to the injection molding processes of automotive plastic components, which are the door trim and the instrument pannel. The warpage of products is obtained from the residual stress after filling, packing and cooling process, and the post deformation due to the heat resistance test is calculated in the structural analysis of the product at the ejection temperature with the initial condition of residual stress, the boundary conditions and heat resistance conditions. The analyses give some useful guide lines in the design of automotive plastic parts which should satisfy heat resistance regulation.

The flow characteristics under recirculation cool vent mode is numerically studied using commercial fluid dynamic code(CFX). For the reliable analysis, real vehicle and human FE model is employed in grid generation process. The geometrical location and shape of panel vent, and exhaust vent is set as that of real vehicle model. The flowrate of the working fluid is determined as 330CMH which is equivalent to 70 percent of maximum capacity of HVAC system. The high velocity regions are formed around 4 each panel vent. Because of the non-symmetrically located exhaust, non-uniform flow and partial backflow near the door trim is observed. Streaklines start from each panel vent show the flow pattern of the airflow in the passenger's compartment very well.

본 연구는 측면 충돌 시 발생하는 상해치를 분석하고 측면 충돌 시 시트윙(seat wing)이 운전자 상해에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하는데 그 목적이 있으며, 이를 효율적으로 수행하기 위하여 모델(door trim)을 단순화하여 원활한 해석이 가능하도록 해석 모델을 구성하였다. 측면 충돌의 경우 운전석의 에어백과 안전 밸트 사이에서 운전자가 도어에 직접적인 충돌에너지를 받으므로 상해치가 정면충돌에 비해 상당히 높아질 수 있다. 측면 충돌 시 시트윙(seat wing)의 장착 유/무에 따른 차이를 더미 (TNO&JARI)모델을 이용한 Madymo 해석을 통하여 상해치 저감효과를 입증하고자 한다.

Recently, an ERP (Enterprise resource Planning) system has been becoming an essential S/W tool for companies to manage their business processes and manufacturing resources. As the information exchange becomes more complex, not only corporate companies but also small- and mid- sized enterprises (SMEs) are required to build an ERP system. However, for small- and middle- sized companies, the adoption of ERP systems becomes challenging due to high cost and long installation time of the system. This paper presents a novel concept of an adaptive ERP system incorporating the ontology structure of the business supply chain information. The proposed ERP installation methodology is illustrated with an example of a door-trim manufacturing company in the automotive supply chain.
