| Abstract |
To carry out assembly line production seamlessly, all necessary parts must be prepared at each assembly station beforehand. For this, effective picking-up operation is necessary for efficient assembly line work. This study aims to develop a system for the determining the locations of parts for the picking-up operations to collect parts from the storage racks and deliver them to the assembly lines. The study proposes a new system called Storage Optimization of Assembly Parts (SOAP) to determine the locations of parts locations in the racks. SOAP consists of a module for evaluating operator movements in three dimensions during operations, a module for Profit Sharing method and a module for virtually modeling a factory system. The usefulness of SOAP is ascertained when applied to determine the locations of parts in a real car assembly production line.
