Layout Planning And Design Of A Discrete Manufacturing Workshop

In recent years,the world economy continues to slump.Manufacturing industry is facing the complex environment of supply side reform and upgrading of manufacturing mode.By facing demand atrophy and the relative surplus of production capacity,discrete manufacturing industry has to find out new solutions,when "Industrial 4.0",“Made in China 2025 "and other new concepts and new strategy have been brought up.Adjusting the product structure by building new facilities is one of the choices for the enterprise to adapt to meet the market demand,but the construction scheme and the scale of investment affect the return directly.Firstly,discrete manufacturing is characterized by more varieties,less batch and more complex.So it is very difficult to plan a layout,which has been expected as same as in actual.Secondly,with the rapid development of information technology and automation technology,the future mode of digital workshop and Intelligent plant is gradually clear and at your fingertips.The waste and waiting on the production line will also be visible because of the data collection.Layout planning advanced is becoming more and more important.Therefore,this paper attempts to have a research on a discrete manufacturing workshop.Based on the traditional planning method,it plans and optimizes the layout of workshop by Systematic Layout Planning(SLP)through the analysis of intensity of logistics.And the simulation by the use of Plant Simulation software constructs and optimizes a model to meet production program.Statistics and analysis of the simulation obtained better equipment configuration and needed auxiliary areas.Through the combination of mathematical method and simulation software,the layout planning and design methods for the new discrete workshop have also been tried.
