Abstract

In the Lean Intelligent Manufacturing Environment, Improving the level of workshop process layout is the foundation and key for rail transportation equipment manufacturing to improve efficiency and reduce costs. So, it is very important to establish a scientific and reasonable process layout evaluation system. Combining with the process layout features of rail vehicle assembly workshop, an evaluation indicator system including 4 first-level indicators, 13 second-level indicators and 26 third-level indicators is constructed. Group AHP and entropy weight method are used to calculate weights. Grey relational analysis is used to calculate gray correlation between the current state and the ideal level of each indicator, so as to achieve a quantitative evaluation. Three typical urban rail vehicle assembly workshops of CRRC are evaluated, and the evaluation results are consistent with the actual situation.
