Abstract

We consider the problem of estimating possible stability levels of automotive manufacturing facilities, which are currently operating under differing production premises. The problem is motivated by the necessity of car producers to transform their existing plants to a stabilized production in order to deal with the increasing complexity of the production process. Thus, the achievable range of stability has to be estimated and potential fields of action have to be identified. In order to verify the proposed method, a real world data case study was conducted. As a result, various stability characteristics were discovered. This simulation study reveals process related stability losses in front of the final assembly and measures the impact of external influence factors on the achievable sequence. The transparency and fields of action provided by this simulation study reduce the uncertainties in the planning activities and contribute to the successful transformation process.
