Ultrasonic Transducer Assembly Line Planning And Its Optimization

Given the stratagem of company, a new transducer is transferred into domestic site. As the principal for this project, apply IE knowledge to new transducer product line layout to ensure this project stable operation.This thesis aims at studying the integrated application of the production line layout theory, product line balance theory and material flow engineering theory in ultrasonic transducer assembly line.The core of this thesis is to adopt the SLP (System Layout Plan) to analyze the collected data of relevant products, manufacturing process and production material flow, combined with constrained conditions related of the new facility to plan the process layout of the ultrasonic transducer assembly line. Then by adopting relevant analysis methods from production line balance theory and material flow project theory to improve layout of built production line. Apply work procedure synchronization and assembly motion analysis to improve the production line balance rate. Readjust layout of production line to shorten the material transit distance, then reduce the cost for material transit and improve the production line balance rate. According to production line material flow organization form, work out material transit batch in each working procedure. Solve the asymmetry load of each working procedure and reduce the quantity of goods working in process. Make the material efficient and steady in production line finally.This thesis is not purely for theory study but also for studying the production line layout implementation and ichnography design theory's application and in untrasonic transducer factories. Breakthrough the traditional design method of the combination of qualitative analysis and personal experience both theoretically and practically by adopting the advanced method for the combination of qualitative analysis and systematical layout and design instead.To solve the practical problems of this company, the relationship between theory and practice must be improved also. The plan and method narrated in this thesis not only act as guidance to this company but also as reference for other relevant companies especially for those untrasonic transducer companies.
