Company in this research is a manufacturing company engaged the automotive industry that produces transmissions for four-wheeled vehicles. This was conducted at ALMC department which specializes producing Mission Cases. In carrying out Case production activity, it still found there are Hold defects or pending parts because quality does not meet requirements to be flowed assembly process. The ty...

Considering the strong need for improvement of security and multimedia systems in automotive industry, wiring harness production is becoming more important. Adapting to integration new technologies on vehicle a challenge harnesses manufacturers. Now still quite dependent human resources, way distributing workload workstations having large share increasing productivity. Components such as termin...

Line balancing is an effective tool to improve the throughput of assembly line while reducing nonvalue-added activities, cycle time. LB is the problem of assigning operation to workstation along an assembly line, in such a way that assignment is optimal in some sense. This paper mainly focuses on improving overall efficiency of single model assembly line by reducing the non value added activiti...

The paper discusses the role of process and robotics simulation in the automotive industry. Real-world applications of simulation in the body shop, paint shop and general assembly areas of a vehicle assembly plant are given in addition to Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and supply chain logistics applications. Uses of simulation during the different phases of an engineering project are add...

Over the past 10 to 15 years, software product lines have drawn increasing attention from software science and practice. The fundamental principle of product line oriented development is to no longer develop the individual products of a software manufacturer independently from one another and in parallel, but as instances of an embracing product line infrastructure, which are then derived from ...

The objective of this study is to minimize the expected present worth of the production costs incurred over the operational life of a robotic assembly system that is integrated with an Automatic Storage/Retrieval System (AS/RS). Production costs include inventory cost and capital cost of equipment. Inventory cost consists of ordering, holding, and lostproduction costs; and all of these costs de...

Today, the automotive industry is becoming one of essential industries in a country due to high demand from customers. This increasing also causes companies manufacturing be exposed challenges with respect cost-effectiveness, lead time, and quality production systems. situation increases waste that occurs line which basically poor plant processes where excessive movement processing time occur. ...

In this paper, a flexible beam-based modeling method is proposed for dimensional control of the sheet metal assembly process. This method uses developed decomposition principles of key design and manufacturing characteristics for integration of assembly process and product design. It allows for modeling of assembly processes and product in the early design stage of process and product design. T...
