Virtual Production Line Design Based on the IDEF0 Method

Abstract

The IDEF0 method can comprehensively and clearly describe the production line design data streams, the material streams and the relationship among the function activities, may guarantee the standard design and lay the solid foundation for the system implementation smoothly. Using the IDEF0 method to describe the function of the production line design flow, it can satisfy this complex large-scale system analysis and design request. It aims at optimizing the manufacturing of automotive parts to be more scientific and consecutive.
