Abstract:
This paper introduces a simulation study regarding the design for the implementation of Color Rescheduling Storage (CRS) in an automotive factory. In a painting shop the colors of vehicles are changed frequently according to the assembly schedule. When the color of a vehicle is changed from one to another, the cleaning process of painting-gun is necessary and it generates costs. Therefore many of the automobile manufacturers equip the CRS in front of the top coating booth of painting shop. The major objective of CRS is to reduce the change over cost in the painting process by grouping vehicles having same color.
In this paper a case study for CRS in an automotive factory is introduced. The procedure for designing CRS is explained and the storage/retrieval algorithms are suggested. The proposed system is verified using simulation models, and sensitivity analysis is conducted for the best design.
