MONTAJ HATTI PARÇA BESLEME SÜREÇLERİNİN PLANLANMASI İÇİN KURAL TABANLI SİSTEM TASARIMI

Abstract

Üretim sistemlerinin verimliliğinin arttırılmasında ve katma değersiz işlerin önlenmesinde parça besleme süreçlerinin önemli bir etkisi vardır. Parça besleme süreçleri, parçaların kullanım noktalarına teslim edilme yöntemlerini ifade etmektedir. Karışık modelli montaj hattının tipik örneği olan otomotiv montaj hatlarında da uygun besleme süreci ile istenen zamanda ve en düşük maliyetle parçaların hatta beslenmesi kritik bir konudur. Bu çalışmada, otomotiv montaj hatlarında parça besleme süreçlerinin planlanması için bir sistem tasarlanması ve böylece parçalar için uygun hat besleme sürecinin belirlenerek katma değersiz işlerin ortadan kaldırılması amaçlanmıştır. Problemin çözümü için kural tabanlı bir sistem geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen sistem, parça ve tedarikçi firma özellikleri gibi girdileri kullanarak, parça besleme süreçleri için tanımlanan kuralları işleyip, hat besleme süreçlerinin maliyetini de dikkate alarak girilen parça için seçilen hat besleme süreci çıktısını üretmektedir. Ayrıca, geliştirilen sistem, benzer hat ve üretim planlama yapısının bulunduğu ve karma üretim yapılan montaj hatlarına sahip farklı sektörlere de entegre edilip uygulanabilir.

A Rule Based System Design for Planning Assembly Line Part Feeding Processes

Abstract

Part feeding processes have a significant impact on increasing efficiency of production systems and preventing non value added jobs. Part feeding processes refer to delivery methods of parts to use points. It is a critical issue to feed parts to the line at the desired time and at the lowest cost with the appropriate feed process in the automotive assembly lines, which is a typical example of a mixed model assembly line. The purpose of this study is to design of a system for the planning of part feeding processes in automotive assembly lines and thereby eliminating non value added jobs by determining the proper line feeding process for the parts. A rule based system is developed to solve the problem. The developed system processes the rules defined for part feeding processes with cost consideration and produces the output of selected part feeding process by using part and supplier specifications etc. inputs. Besides, the developed system can be integrated and applied to different sectors of mixed model assembly lines with similar line and production planning structure.
