Abstract
A shop floor model of a large electronics manufacturer was developed to study the reduction of manufacturing cycle time. The model followed the manufacture of electronic systems from printed circuit board preparation, through board assembly and test. to final system assembly and system testing. Simulation allowed the evaluation of four different tactics for manufacturing cycle time reduction. TI1ese were: t11e effect of setup, breakdown and lot size on printed circuit board (PCB) assembly; tl1e implementation of a total pull tactic on a Computer Applications in Production and Engineering. F. Plonka and G. Oiling (Eds.) © 1997 IFIP. Published by Chapman & Hall 360 production line; the comparison of improved quality in manufacture and rework; and the effect of balancing personnel across shifts.
