The usage of simulation technology for macroergonomic industrial systems improvement

Abstract

The paper presents progress and results of the project, which was performed for the particular macroergonomic system. The goal of the project is the analysis of the buses’ production process capability after the assembly hall expansion. The project includes the reengineering of the macroergonomic industrial system model for the new work organization, visualization and verification. Furthermore, the evaluation of workstations and configuration of human working teams, which supports particular workstations were described. The performed activities enabled describing imperfections of created concept as well as for proposing some improvements. On the one hand, this allowed for the human working teams to accept the manufacturing enterprises’ identity and on the other hand for minimizing the costs of assembly process.
