This paper proposes a case study to treat planning and scheduling in factory of supply chain. In fact, the planning and the scheduling of a factory are not easily solved because of constraints of facility resources, material requirements, allowed planning times, and so on. However many packages are developed by vendors in Advanced Planning and Scheduling(APS) aspects to solve these problems. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze problems of an electronic company and apply the tool, Factory Planner(FP), to solve problems. The FP, which was developed by if technologies, is very popular planning and scheduling tool in the world. Also, the tool is successfully applied to many fields.

High-Tech 산업은 국제적인 경쟁력과 갈수록 짧아지는 제품의 Life-cycle로 인해 그 경쟁이 매우 치열해 지고 있다. 따라서. 변동되는 시장 상황에 맞추어 자재의 구매/조달, 연구 개발, 생산, 물류/배송, 판매, 및 고객에 대한 납기 약속 등을 신속하고 정확하게 처리하기 위해 전 세계적으로 SCM(Supply Chain Management)관점에서 APS(Advanced Planning and Scheduling)시스템을 사영하고 있다. 특히, 고객으로부터 주문량이 할당되면 주어진 자재와 공장의 생산능력 (capacity)을 계산하여 생산가능 유무 및 생산가능일을 알려주는 공장내의 생산 계획 및 스케줄링 방법은 현재는 물론 앞으로도 지속적으로 발전시켜야 될 부분으로서 그 중요성이 점점 확대되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 High-Tech 산업 중에서 전자 산업의 요구 사항을 분석하고, 이러한 요구 사항들을 해결하기 위래 세계적으로SCM 시장에서 가장 많은 경쟁력을 가지고 있는 i2 Technologies사의 생산 계획 및 스케줄링 툴인 Factory Planner를 사용한 사례를 제시한다.

In the motor manufacturing system with the properties of short delivery and order based production, the process plan is performed individually for each order by the expert of process plan after the completion of the detail design process to satisfy the specification to be required by customer. Also it is hard to establish the standard process plan in reality because part routings and operation times are varied for each order. Hence, the production planner has the problem that is hard to establish the production schedule releasing the job to the factory because there occurs the big difference between the real time to be completed the process plan and the time to be required by the production planner. In this paper, we study the decision supporting system for the process plan based on knowledge base concept. First, we represent the knowledge of process planner as a database model through the modified POI-Feature graph. Then we design and implement the decision supporting system imbedded in the heuristic algorithm in the client/server environment using the ORACLE relational database management system.

This paper presents a scheme for a hierarchical production scheduling and control system for a refrigerator factory with mixed model assembly lines. The setting of the factory is as follows. There are three mixed-model assembly lines called main line A, B and C and two batch lines that supply parts to the main lines. For each of the main lines, three work-centers are dedicated to them. The sub-lines and work-centers produce parts in batch type. An incoming production order from the master planner is characterized by its product type, amount, and due date. Under this situation, the proposed scheme has several features to schedule and control the above mentioned factory; 1) select the starting time and the place (assembly line) for an order processing, 2) devise a way to control orders to be processed as scheduled, and 3) reschedule orders when something unexpected happen. Finally, this paper provides a case study where the proposed scheme is applied to.

To ensure competitiveness in the modern automotive market, material arrangements and information managements should be performed concurrently with new car developments. In automotive general assembly shops, thus, new business workflow and supporting environments are inevitable to reduce the manufacturing preparation time in developing a new car in the manner of concurrent and collaborative engineering. Since complete material arrangements for a whole general assembly system is a huge and complex job, several planners should execute their planning jobs and share information. Therefore, each planner should provide others with his/her results with continuous on-line communication and cooperation. Digital automotive general assembly factory is useful the performing concurrent and collaborative engineering and is essential for material arrangements and information managements systems. In this research, we constructed a sophisticated digital factory of an automotive general assembly shop by measuring and modeling through the parametric 3-D CAD, and a web-based system for concurrent and collaborative material arrangements for automotive general assembly via 3D mock-up is developed. By the digital general assembly shop and developed web-based system, savings in time and colt of manufacturing preparation activities are possible, and the reliability of the planning result Is greatly improved.

In this study we consider the problem of production planning of TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display) production factory. Due to the complexities of the TFT-LCD production processes, it is difficult to schedule the production planning, and the study about automated scheduler is insufficient. In addition, the existing production method is a Push-System to raise the operation rate with expensive equipment, that has the problem to satisfy the due-date. This study presents an algorithm having a concept of Pull-System that satisfies the due-date and considers specialties of TFT-LCD production process. We make MPS(Master Production Schedule) according to the sales order, and present algorithms for scheduling about In/Out plan considering factory capacity, line balancing, material requirement, and inventory level of all Array, Cell, and Module processes. These algorithms are integrated as an automated production system, and we implement them in the actual TFT-LCD factory circumstance.
