Abstract

Simulations have been used to evaluate the efficiency of logistics or manufacturing systems and predict the outcomes of the systems. New simulation models are needed to evaluate new alternative plants and layouts during the resource design process. Although it is easy to handle minor changes in parameters by modifying a simulation model, it takes considerable time and effort for simulation modelers to alter the layout, which involves changes in many simulation sub-models. Therefore, this study proposes a method to transfer information in AutoCAD layout to the simulation model automatically. This study also defines a standard document as an Excel Form, and suggests a method to transfer information on the basic layouts, processes, resources, and workers to a simulation model automatically. A simulation tool, called Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 9.0, was used for this study. The proposed approach in this study was applied to a semiconductor wafer factory for a case study.

시뮬레이션은 물류 또는 제조 시스템의 효율성을 평가하고 시스템의 결과를 예측하는 데 사용되었다. 새로운 시뮬레이션 모델은 시설 설계 프로세스 중에 새로운 대체 설비 및 배치를 평가하는 데 필요로 한다. 시뮬레이션 모델을 수정하여 매개변수와 같은 사소한 변경을 처리하기는 쉽지만 시뮬레이션 모델러가 많은 시뮬레이션 서브 모델의 변경을 포함하여 레이아웃을 변경하는 데는 많은 시간과 노력이 필요로 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 AutoCAD layout의 정보를 시뮬레이션 모델에 자동으로 변환하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 표준 문서를 Excel 양식으로 정의하고 기본 레이아웃, 프로세스, 시설 및 작업자에 대한 정보를 시뮬레이션 모델에 자동으로 변환하는 방법도 제안한다. Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 9.0이라는 시뮬레이션 전용 Tool이 사용되었다. 본 논문에서 제시한 접근한 방법은 반도체 웨이퍼 공장을 대상으로 사례 연구되었다.
