Computer Aided Assembly Line in an Automobile Industry for Supply Chain Management System Optimization: A Review

Pankaj ., Pankaj Sindhu, Gaurav .

Abstract


Computer aided assembly line in an automobile industry for supply Chain Management is an important factor to sustain organization in today competitive world. In this respect, many of the organizations and study have performed to opt out factors that affect either positively or negatively on SCM. In today’s era, Supply Chain Management has changed the world with their production system. By removing activities in the manufacturing process that were not adding any value to the product, the company could become agile and offer products to the customer with short lead time as well as to a low cost. Companies in other countries needed to change their manufacturing processes in order stay competitive and a western variant of the production system was developed. Supply chain management is based on the same concepts as it focuses a lot on eliminating non-value adding activities, so called waste. Waste could come in many different shapes but could for example be transportation, overproduction, assembly line management and inventory. Besides performing a comprehensive analysis of the current state; the study also includes developing suggestions of a future state with new layout, material carriers and concepts on how to signal for material between different areas. The scope of the study is the operations inside the plant and is kept on a high level perspective. The research approach to this study has been a deductive approach with a focus on collecting quantitative data and the strategy has been to conduct a single case study with a holistic design. Furthermore, much of the collected data have been primary data and this is one of the reasons why the quality of this study is considered to be high. With the help of supply chain tools such as new assembly design, several improvement areas could be identified. The new state has been several benefits to the company.
