| Abstract | There exists a simple flow line, Hub Frontwheel line of THAI
ENGINEERING PRODUCT company, which continuously produces a
specific kind of part and has no set up for changing the fixtures
and jigs to produce other kinds of part. The related problem are
how to analyse the machine utilization in the operation process
and to determine the (s,S) control policies of the raw material
inventory and of finished part inventory. In the phase of
operation process, first the model was used to calculate the
machine utilization. Then, according to this utilization, the new
layout was designed. In the phase of raw material inventory, the
model was formulated by combining with EOQ, reorder point(s) and
under the uncertain supplier lead time. In the phase of the
finished part inventory, the probability formulation is to decide
the optimal control level (L = S - s). A simulation approach for
the latter two cases is used to revise the reorder point of the
raw material inventory and the L control level of the finished
part inventory. |
