Abstract

The paper presents a simple simulation model of the lifting procedure that can be used to predict the total time required for the sequence of basic manu‐ al assembly tasks depending on the various parameters of the load and with regard to the workers’ health. The aim of the research is to determine the appropriateness of using simulation tool for (re)setting time standards for manual assembly tasks. An avatar in the simulation model performs sequenc‐ es of tasks with a handling mass of up to 20.5 kg. The individual times ob‐ tained from the simulation model were analysed and compared with several time prediction methods and validated in laboratory environment. An analy‐ sis of the influence of different load parameters on the total time was also performed. Dependency is mostly linear, so from the practitioner point of view, we can predict with reasonable certainty the total time for any sequence of manual assembly tasks for every size and mass of the box. Based on the results we can confirm that simulation tool JACK is suitable not only for ergo‐ nomic analyses but also for setting time standards for the workers. Further‐ more, with the simulation tool we analyse the process and get the accurate results in shorter time compared to other mentioned methods. © 2020 CPE, University of Maribor.

基于仿真的基本手工装配任务时间评估

本文提出了一个简单的起重过程仿真模型，该模型可用于根据负载的各种参数和工人的健康状况，预测基本手动装配任务序列所需的总时间。研究的目的是确定使用仿真工具(重新)设置人工装配任务的时间标准的适当性。仿真模型中的虚拟角色执行一系列任务，处理质量高达20.5 kg。对仿真模型得到的单个时间进行了分析，并与几种时间预测方法进行了比较，并在实验室环境中进行了验证。分析了不同负载参数对总时间的影响。依赖性大多是线性的，因此从实践者的角度来看，我们可以合理确定地预测每个尺寸和质量的盒子的任何手工组装任务序列的总时间。基于结果，我们可以证实，模拟工具JACK不仅适用于人体经济学分析，也适用于为工人设定时间标准。此外，与其他提到的方法相比，我们使用仿真工具分析过程并在更短的时间内获得准确的结果。©2020 CPE，马里博尔大学。版权所有。

期刊介绍： Advances in Production Engineering & Management (APEM journal) is an interdisciplinary international academic journal published quarterly. The main goal of the APEM journal is to present original, high quality, theoretical and application-oriented research developments in all areas of production engineering and production management to a broad audience of academics and practitioners. In order to bridge the gap between theory and practice, applications based on advanced theory and case studies are particularly welcome. For theoretical papers, their originality and research contributions are the main factors in the evaluation process. General approaches, formalisms, algorithms or techniques should be illustrated with significant applications that demonstrate their applicability to real-world problems. Please note the APEM journal is not intended especially for studying problems in the finance, economics, business, and bank sectors even though the methodology in the paper is quality/project management oriented. Therefore, the papers should include a substantial level of engineering issues in the field of manufacturing engineering.
