| dc.description.abstract | Facility planning is the most direct factor affecting the overall production efficiency of a factory; as long as a new factory has a good moving line planning, it can save the time and cost of handling, and it can also make maximum use of space and avoid wasting space. However, In the old factory area, the owner planned intuitively, and bought more and more machinery and equipment over time, but did not plan the placement properly, resulting in a long distance between workstations, resulting in wasted time and low production efficiency. Therefore, in the form of a case study, this research is expected to simulate the re-layout of the facility planning through the Flexsim simulation software and the production data of the existing machines, and compare the simulation results with the existing data to verify the improvement effect of the facility planning and layout.
According to the simulation results of the experimental data, the island layout not only needs to increase the activities of the mobile operation, but also wastes the space for the operation, and in order to cooperate with the preparation and execution of the mobile operation, one more manpower configuration is added to each work island; the assembly line layout is changed. After that, four more configurable manpower can be added, and one more assembly line can be placed in the space, so the capacity expansion will be at least doubled. Therefore, it can be verified that the space utilization of the new layout is better than the original layout. On the other hand, the re-product stay and blocking time of island layout in the temporary storage area is much longer than at least double the time of pipeline layout. And the equipment utilization rate of the assembly line layout reaches 92.19%, which is almost complete capacity utilization rate, which is much higher than that of the island layout. Therefore, the assembly line layout can obtain better production capacity than the island layout.
It can be verified from the experimental simulation results of this study that the assembly line layout can not only save space and mobile operation time, reduce labor waste, optimize the factory space, and use the optimized factory space to improve production capacity. It can achieve better production efficiency than the original layout mode. | en_US |
