The development of a laboratory system to experiment methods to improve the production flows
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Globalization of production and strong competition in the automotive industry requires manufacturers to offer their customers a wide range of products, of the best quality and at lower prices. This requires uniform production flow, increase the flexibility of the production system and its responsiveness to customer requests. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to use in the layout planning, work organization and production management the most modern methods, techniques and tools of production management, such as modeling and simulating production flows and Lean manufacturing. In this context, the present paper describes the developing of a laboratory system that allows, the research in laboratory conditions of modern manufacturing methods and their transfer to factories from automotive industry. The laboratory system is made of integrated research platforms, specific to layout design, modeling and simulation flows and Lean manufacturing and include also elements of digitalization (Industry 4.0). In this paper are described briefly the main characteristics of the research platforms made until now and the ways in which these can be used.
