A SIMULATION STUDY ON A FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING AIRCRAFT ENGINE PARTS (WIP)

摘要

The manufacturing systems which produce the parts of aircraft engines are usually classified into the order-made systems with highly variety and small quantity. Thus, many of factories have applied typical hybrid job shop system. However, the layout concept has been changed recently from job shop to FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) as the requirement of smart factory. In this article a case study on the new FMS of Korean company is introduced. Two objectives are validating the design of FMS with very detail simulation model and evaluating various dispatching rules for scheduling. The new factory has been constructed by considering the results of this study and the new scheduling system is in development.
