碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 95 === Because of the prevalence of consumer’s awareness in the 21st century, small quantity batch, short delivery term and high quality have been the primary demands of purchasing. The Toyota Production System (TPS), which is steeped in the philosophy of eliminating all waste and defective products in pursuit of the company’s profit, is the best system to meet this requirement. Take YS Company for example; because there was no simulation and validation procedures before designing the production line, the company frequently received complaints from operators about the limited operation space and the disorganization of materials and machines. Providing a comfortable and sound working environment is very important because all the operators are valuable assets to the company. By collecting and researching relevant literature on TPS, workstation design, system simulation and cause-effect analysis, and using 3D visualization skills of virtual reality, the purpose of this research is to develop a 3D visualization production line. Following a cause-effect analysis and group discussion on the topic: “Why Can’t Production Capacity Be Enhanced?”, a simulation experiment was held and the result of the voting was recorded in the simulation survey form. After the first experiment, items requiring improvement would be obtained. Then the second experiment was carried out. The result of the second experiment was much better than that of the first one, and after validating with the real production line, the daily per capita production was raised from 162PCS to 288PCS, which was still 27PCS short of the target goal of 315PCS.
