Abstract: |
The combined analysis of an
assembly cell using simulation models and theory-of-constraints is the aim of
this article. The cell is a combination of a preparation and an operation phase which must keep the cycle time even under new
product designs and demand mix. Simulation models are used to quantify the
dynamic behaviour of the system under three
configurations and theory-of-contraint concepts are
used to illustrate the necessity to minimize the blockage of the input flows
in order to guarantee the output flows. The chosen design synchronizes
investments in equipment with the minimization of work-in-progress and the fulfilment of cycle times. |
