| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程學系 === 87 === This research is to study the allocation problem of inspection stations for re-entrant production systems. Five dispatching rules: FCFS, CR, EDD, SPT and LTR are used for the evaluation of the allocation problem with the performance indices of total manufacturing cost, mean flow time, total execution time, and total delay time. The total manufacturing cost is composed of processing cost, inspection cost, overdue cost, external failure cost, and revenue.
This study uses the AutoSched simulation package to develop a model for the re-entrant production system. In addition, this research performs a sensibility analysis for the factors used in the cost model to prove that the results of this research obey the five rules of the thumb of allocation of inspection stations presented by Peters and Williams. Moreover, an analysis of ANOVA is done for the effects of those factors. Finally, a comparison between this research and the serial production system is done for the allocation problem.
