This article introduces a simulation study relating to the dynamic operating algorithm for the painted body storage (PBS) in an automotive factory. The manufacturing process in the trim shop of an automotive factory is a typical example of the mixed-model assembly production. In the paint shop, which comes before the trim shop, same-colored bodies are grouped together to reduce the changeover c...

We study static repair priorities in a system consisting of one repair shop and one stockpoint, where spare parts of multiple repairables are kept on stock to serve an installed base of technical systems. Demands for ready-for-use parts occur according to Poisson processes, and are accompanied by returns of failed parts. The demands are met from stock if possible, and otherwise they are backord...

This paper presents the findings of comparative research into labor, organizational and spatial practices a new kind hybrid civic spaces that we refer to as “social impact-driven repair shops.” These are an emerging typology urban dedicated repaired up-cycled items also go beyond functions traditional shop. Significantly, these shops run not purely for economic reasons, but rather position them...

Polyurethanes are widely used in car paint formulations. During thermal degradation, such polymeric systems can generate powerful asthmatic sensitizing agents named isocyanates. In body repair shops, the thermal degradation of car paint can occur during abrasive processes that generate enough heat to involve release of isocyanates in air. An environmental monitoring study was performed in two b...

The paper presents a technique to automatically track the progress of maintenance or assembly tasks using body worn sensors. The technique is based on a novel way of combining data from accelerometers with simple frequency matching sound classification. This includes the intensity analysis of signals from microphones at different body locations to correlate environmental sounds with user activi...

An important practical problem in real world schedule execution is the occurrence of unforeseen events. When any changes in a production environment occur, the schedule has to be revised. Considering time consuming and shop floor nervousness, reactive repair of a disrupted schedule is a better alternative to total rescheduling. Most of the researchers have focused on heuristic based schedule re...
