Abstract

The issues of the case factory’s assembly workshop on low circular rate of materials, long production cycle, deficient productivity and their causes are analyzed with Cause-Effect diagram. Some IE methods such as value stream mapping, mathematical modeling, system simulation, signboard management are applied to optimize the means of material supplying of the assembly workshop, to realize one piece flow in the internal cycle between different assembly lines and the external cycle between lines and warehouse.
