A case study of the body shop design in an automotive factory using 3D simulation

A meta-model based simulation optimization using hybrid simulation-analytical modeling to increase the productivity in automotive industry

“…Dengiz and Belgin [7,8] used response surface methodology (RSM) for optimization of a paint shop production line. Moon et al [25] presented a case study of a body shop design using 3D simulation in a Korean automotive factory. They described the procedure of the body shop design and the improvement of the initial layout was introduced.…”

Comparison of the Two Layout Structures in Automotive Body Shops Considering Failure Distributions

“…<Figure 3> shows an example of body shop layout in an automotive factory which is explained in Moon et al (2006). The dashed area is the front sub-assembly lines in automotive body shop which assemble the basic structure of main body, especially with respect to the side body, and it is the scope of this paper.…”

“…Ulgen et al (1994), Spieckermann et al (2000), Kahan et al (2009) have studied about body shop using simulation. Moon et al (2006) described the design process in an automotive body shop and explained simulation study. Kibria and McLean (2007) developed an automotive final assembly simulation model to enable interoperability testing.…”

“…Generally, the body shop is divided into 15~20 sub-assembly lines (see Moon et al, 2006). Each sub-line represents a welding area covering numerous welding operations in different stations.…”

Backup strategy for robots’ failures in an automotive assembly system

“…Several different types of simulation software packages have been used for this purpose. In general, the design process consists of the work-cell design and the system design (Moon et al, 2006). For the former, 3D simulation software can be used (e.g.…”
