Methodik zur integrierten Grobplanung von Abläufen und Strukturen mit digitalen Fabrikmodellen
Abstract
dc:descriptionA central challenge for todays factory planning is the management of complexity - the complexity of production processes and structures and their interdependencies. In an increasingly dynamic and competitive environment, factory planning is becoming a more and more crucial core process for production industries. In the context of increasing planning frequency and tighter time limits, available planning procedures and systems do support the design of production processes and structures only fragmentarily. Especially for early planning phases, a comprehensive and consistent approach towards systematic design of processes and structures involving discreet event simulation and virtual reality is not available. Hence, it was the task of this thesis to develop a methodology for integrated rough design of processes and structures with digital factory models . With application of model theory and systems engineering, a methodology was developed which consists of three components: i) an object-oriented reference model for the integrated modelling of process and structures within production, ii) a design procedure based on eight object-related design elements and iii) an integrated IT-tool which represents the implementation of model and procedure and combines realistic 3D-visualisation with discreet event simulation. For the development of the methodology, a systematic approach towards integration of process- and structure-design was applied. Starting with the relations between processes and structures on the object-level, integration was transferred to the design level. In four consecutive steps, starting with the reference model via the design procedure it was implemented into the IT-tool indyGO. This tool is based on the connection of the Factory Planning Table by Fraunhofer IPA (used as a front end for layout planning) with the Simulation Tool-Kit of WZL (for dynamic evaluation). It supports quick and efficient design and evaluation of alternative factory scenarios for interdisciplinary design teams. In an industrial case study, the methodology was tested. Its applicability is shown by the planning results: both, an efficient and quick planning process as well as improved planning results - a flexible an productive factory department for gear parts.
