Abstract
A Turkish family company with an annual production capacity of 810,000 seat belts, employs 150 people. The customers of the company, which produces seat belts and spare parts for the commercial vehicle industry, are large companies such as Otokar, Ford Tosan, Bmc, Karsan, Anadolu Isuzu, Mercedes, Man, Temsa, Türk Traktör. In addition, the company's production capacity consists of pressing, plastic injection and assembly lines. This study discusses the sequencing and scheduling of assembly lines to improve the company's production process.
The company has 3 seat belt assembly lines. A mathematical model was developed to solve the sorting and scheduling problem and the model was solved using GAMS software. As a result of the study, the unfinished jobs in the GAMS mathematical model were compared with the jobs included in the scenario analysis. The results of the proposed model were compared with the results according to different scenario analysis and it was seen that the proposed model achieved more efficient results.
