| Abstract | This thesis study relates to the one of the major problem in implementing mixed model
assembly line under Just In Time Production System. The problem is to generate a level schedule.
The study is intended to serve the need of comparing the existing procedure under different
assumption so as to improve/design new procedure with more assumption relaxed.
A number of researchers have formulated the problem in a number of different way. A
number of heuristic are also available to this complex mathematical problem. These mathematical
formulations and heuristics are studied in detail here. Using computer program and hypothetically
generated data the existing solution procedures are studied and compared with respect to their
computational requirement and efficiency. The assumption regarding the single level problem is
examined in detail.
A small model with complete object oriented feature is also built. The model consists of
complete independent work centers module working under Just In Time principle which can be
used for building other model. Using this model, the heuristic's assumptions are tested.
A way of using level schedule for the company where these can not be used due to large
set up time and low cycle time is also suggested. |
