1-4. There Are 3 Production Lines Instead Of 1 To Facilitate Quicker Outputs

1-4. There are 3 production lines instead of 1 to facilitate quicker outputs and meet the daily production targets that would satisfy production and company profits. This is based on the production sequences collected and tabulated on Table 1-3. The production cell layout includes:
3 manual or robot articulated assembly cells
5 manual or robot assembly stations for each assembly cell
3 sections of parts storage for each line dedicated to the machining process lines
Each machining process line for heatsink consist of 5 stations
A total of 3 lines each for both the machining process and assembly
An holding area for vendor storage to store surplus incoming parts such as motors and accessories from vendors and suppliers
A defective area for holding Quality flagged cases
10' by 10' staging area for pallets with wrapped fully assembled and tested motor heatsinks
Legend:
The diagram clearly shows the dashed lines with arrows indicating the flow of process (or production route) from each cell. The stages from 'A' to 'J' signifies what is happening at each point of process and assembly. There are 2 two-way conveyer belts between the each of the three assembly and inspection lines. The production floor has sufficient exit points to provide smooth flow of materials, visitors and workers at all times. For more details of the specific operations for each stage can be referred to Tables 1-3.
3.6 AN EVALUATION REPORT ON VAI SYSTEM 2000 FOR MANUFACTURING
(COMMERCIAL AVAILABLE SOFTWARE FOR FMS SOLUTIONS)
