Optimization of technological Jigs flow in automotive using software module tecnomatix plant simulation

Abstract

Production must be adapted to the needs of the product structure while meeting the economic requirements of low cost. As processes will be monitored, managed and optimized in near real-time, decentralization of decision-making processes will also increase. Due to the heterogeneous structure of the value chain, its complexity is increasing, reorganized, causing changes to the system as a whole and will require the creation of appropriate infrastructures. Mastering the value chain dynamics is largely translated into logistics. This paper deals with the optimization of the flow of technological jigs at the workplace of the paint shop in a company that is oriented to the automotive industry. The design of an optimal solution will be verified using the selected software module Tecnomatix Plant simulation. Description and analysis of monitored flows of technological preparations are realized in the workplace Painting. The simulation model of the original state was created and by testing alternative solutions the solution of inter-operational transport was chosen, which is optimal. The use of software support in the analysis of variant solutions is of great importance especially in terms of speed of verification and achievement of results from the tested variants.
