Abstract :
Aiming at the production line of gearbox, this paper applies a line balancing method and the object oriented modeling technology. Firstly, the simulation model of the box streamline is set up and, the bottleneck is found out and analyzed with the model. Secondly, the rebuilt strategy based on the principles of ECRS(Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, Simple) and the theory of production line balancing is given and evaluated by the model. Finally, comparing with the former production line, implementation of the new strategy makes the production efficiency and quality improved greatly.
