Abstract

In recent years, the automobile industry is facing more challenge than ever due to rapid model change requirements and demand fluctuations. Traditional fixed-type production systems are less capable in coping with the rapid change, while flexible production systems can better meet the requirement of low-volume production with model variations. Flexible machines integrated with model-mixed assembly lines form flexible assembly systems (FASs). In this paper, Colored Timed Petri Net (CTPN) is used to model a highly model-mixed automobile assembly system. Based on this CTPN model, a real-time simulator was developed along with different dispatching rules. Besides, the algorithm of balanced budget work standard (BWS) for a small batch production is developed for adjusting the loading balance of the operators in the highly model-mixed assembly lines. The simulator can be used as an effective tool for developing scheduling strategies.
