Seru researchers and practitioners claim that, using Seru is always a better strategy where there are simple equipment involved in an assembly environment. In contrast with the claim of Seru researchers and practitioners, this thesis aims to compare Classical Assembly Line with Seru in terms of worker’s skill on different tasks. In this study, seven skill levels for workers has been considered and it is assumed that skill levels are normally distributed. Based on the output of Seru and classical assembly line, it is found that when the skill variation is high for different tasks among workers, Classical Assembly line is a better choice. Results found from multi-product case with and without skill consideration suggest that, when skill is not considered Seru is a better choice most of the time. On the other hand, when skill is considered a hybrid system of Seru and Classical Assembly line can co-exist. It is also found that when learning and forgetting take place over time, learning can lead to multi-skilled workers and hence the system become more suitable for Seru. 2018-10-11 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1515681463200986 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1515681463200986 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
