Try to reduce detours, stops and handling; Maintain the flexibility of assembly line and production line; Effective use of manpower and space; Improve morale; Provide convenience for workshop management. We not only need an ideal assembly line layout, but also need an economic assembly line design to try to achieve less investment and more output.
The design of the assembly line/conveyor line/production line should be careful, otherwise, the well-designed products, expensive equipment and good sales will be ruined by the poor design of the assembly line/conveyor line/production line. At the same time, the layout of the assembly line/conveyor line/production line should be combined with modern management, and how to manage it should be considered. Some advanced management methods are directly related to the layout of the assembly line/conveyor line/production line, such as total quality management, balanced production management, production site computer management, one flow production mode, fixed location management and material management. Incorporating these management into the design of assembly line/conveyor line/production line can improve the effectiveness of management.
1. Products
The design of product structure and assembly process is the primary consideration in the design of assembly line/conveyor line/production line. Analyzing and studying the product structure and putting forward suggestions to improve the product structure can greatly simplify the assembly production process.
2. Equipment
The selection of assembly process equipment is determined according to the product technical requirements and assembly process methods. Correct selection of process equipment and tooling can not only improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs, but also rationalize the layout of the assembly line/conveyor line/production line. The problems to be considered when selecting process equipment include: product production program; Product quality requirements; Progressiveness of equipment; Reliability of equipment; Price of equipment; Utilization rate of equipment; Safety of equipment; Convenience of equipment maintenance.
3. Workers/Operators on the assembly line/conveyor line/production line
People are one of the factors of production, but also a living factor, and they are highly mobile, so they need to be trained to meet the requirements of post work. When arranging the assembly line/conveyor line/production line, good and safe working conditions should be considered to create a better working environment, which will help to improve labor enthusiasm.
4. Logistics and transportation
Material flow is accomplished by transportation. Material transportation is essential in the factory, so we should choose an economical and reasonable transportation mode. It can be concluded that the amount of material movement depends on its production factors. The layout of the assembly line must ensure that the transportation distance of the material flow is the shortest, and always flows to the end of the product assembly, and a control system must be established to ensure the flow of materials.
5. Production mode
Production mode is an aspect that needs to be considered in the design of assembly line/conveyor line/production line. To determine the production mode, the following points need to be clear: production program; Work system, here refers to the working shifts and working hours of each shift; For linear production, we should consider whether to adopt automatic conveyor line or assembly line production, single machine production or cluster production; Management mode refers to the management methods, systems and regulations required to ensure production.
- Storage and auxiliary facilities
The material flow always flows to the end of the assembly process, but whenever the material is interrupted, production will be stopped for material. Therefore, it is necessary to reserve a certain amount of reserves to ensure the flow of material flow, which is economical and reasonable in maintaining production and balancing process capacity. In order to solve the problem of storage, it is necessary to establish necessary storage warehouses and places. In addition, auxiliary equipment provides maintenance and service for production and plays an important role in production.
7. Plant structure
Once the plant is established, its variability is relatively small, so it should be carefully considered in the design, and the plant structure should be determined according to the production characteristics. If there are special requirements on the assembly process, the workshop needs to be specially designed. Generally, the general workshop should be used, and the multi-storey workshop should be comprehensively considered according to the assembly process characteristics and land occupation.
8. Flexibility and variability of assembly line/conveyor line/production line design
Facing the increasingly fierce market competition, our product structure and output are changing more and more rapidly and frequently, which will affect the layout of the assembly line. With the progress of science and technology and the adoption of new processes and equipment, we are also required to adjust the layout of the old assembly line. Therefore, the feasibility of plant development and change should be considered in the plane design, and the assembly line layout should have flexibility, adaptability and versatility.
