Assembly Line Balance and Assembly Process Simulation with Multi-Station and Stopping Line Operation

摘要

In order to avoid undesirable idling or fuss of the manufacturing resources,the assembly workshop’s scheduler evaluates the effect of different online sequence of parts on production cycle,balances workload and utilization ratio,minimizes span of the assembly line.This paper studies assembly line modeling and simulation with multi-station and stopping line operation,builds mathematical model for the assembly line both under certainty and uncertainty environment.Assembly line problem with these two conditions is simulated,and a simulation prototype system is developed.Simulation application with one Auto Company in Beijing using real time data of assembly workshop validates the effectiveness and correctness of the prototype system.
