Virtual validation of material provisioning in assembly in the automotive industry

چکیده
The competitive situation in automotive industry and increasing market demands necessarily lead to higher complexity in product development, production planning and production ramp-up processes. One key challenge for mobilising important time and cost resources in production engineering projects is a virtual validation of the ramp-up. Especially in cross-functional cases where many planning departments are involved using simulation models instead of physical prototypes for a complete validation of production rampup is a new approach. This work presents requirements and solutions of virtual ramp-up validation focussed on material provisioning in automotive assembly.

متن کاملThe Influence of Effective Factors on Mechanical Stress on Fingertips During Snap-fit Assembly
Objectives: Nowadays, Snap-fits are used in the automotive industry as a proper alternative for mechanical joints, cabling joints, and car interior lining joints. Due to the special form of these joints, which are assembled manually, the contact area between Snap-fits and the worker’s fingertips can be too small. This can cause skin pain on the worker’s fingertips. Therefore, ...
