Abstract
In this paper, a case study of modeling, analysis, and continuous improvement of a multi-product assembly line at a furniture manufacturing plant is introduced. In such system, cabinets with multiple design options are assembled. Analytical models have been developed and recursive procedures have been derived to evaluate line production rate. It is shown that such a method results in high accuracy in performance evaluation. Continuous improvement efforts, such as lot size adjustment and bottleneck analysis, have been carried out to improve the system throughput. Such methods provide quantitative tools for plant engineers and managers to operate and improve the assembly line to achieve high productivity.
