Abstract
Abstract:
To ensure competitiveness in the modern automotive market, process and material plan should be performed concurrently with new car developments. In automotive general assembly shops, thus, new business workflows and supporting environments are inevitable to reduce the manufacturing preparation time in developing a new car in the manner of concurrent and collaborative engineering. Since complete material plans for a whole general assembly system is a huge and complex job, several planners should execute their planning jobs and share information. In this research, a web-based system for concurrent and collaborative material planning for automotive general assembly via 3D mock-up is developed. By using this system, savings in time and cost of process and material planning are possible, and the reliability of the plan result is improved.
