생산 흐름 분석을 통한 FAS라인의 최적 배치 설계에 관한 연구

A Study on Optimized Layout Design of FAS Line Through Production Flow Analysis

Many mid-sized companies in Korean automotive industry have attempted to solve the lack of human power, to control the quality of components, to improve the production rate, and to innovate the manufacturing line. The goals of this study are to analyze the production rate of an automotive component manufacturing line using simulation software, to construct a Flexible Automation Subassembly (FAS) system and to suggest an optimized layout design using FAS line. In this research, the simulation model for manufacturing line was developed and used the realistic data (production planning, component type, working order, process time, queue time, line rules, etc) of a medium sized company in Korean automotive industry. To complete this research, a simulation software 'ARENA' was used.
