Abstract
The part-feeding system at an assembly shop controls the feeding of parts from the warehouse to workstations of the assembly shop in accordance with the production of vehicles. The part-feeding system plays a crucial role in determining the level of the inventory and stockout rate at the automotive assembly line. In this study, we propose a dynamic part-feeding system for an automotive assembly plant which estimates the part consumption amounts dynamically considering the actual production progress and directs the feeding orders dynamically to feeders. The results of a simulation show that the proposed dynamic feeding system produces better results than a static feeding system.
