การเพิ่มอัตราผลผลิตของการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์, ธนกร สงวนวงศ์วาน

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

ในการศึกษากระบวนการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์พบว่าผลผลิตไม่ได้ตามเป้าหมายที่กำหนด ดังนั้นงานวิจัยฉบับนี้จึงมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อเพิ่มอัตราผลผลิตของการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์ โดยมุ่งเน้นในการปรับปรุงรอบเวลา (Cycle time) การตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์ ให้ลดลง ซึ่งใช้หลักการการศึกษางานและเวลา วิเคราะห์กระบวนการทำงานจากแผนผังสายธารแห่งคุณค่า (Value Stream Mapping) และบ่งชี้กิจกรรมที่ไม่ก่อเกิดมูลค่าเพิ่ม (Non-value-added) ที่ส่งผลต่อกระบวนการทำงาน จากนั้นจึงนำหลักการ ECRS เป็นเครื่องมือในการวิเคราะห์และลดกิจกรรมที่สูญเปล่าจากกระบวนการทำงาน จากการวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลพบว่าในกระบวนการทำงานมีการทำงานที่ซ้ำซ้อน การขนส่งที่ไม่จำเป็น และท่าทางการเคลื่อนไหวในกระบวนการผลิตที่เป็นกิจกรรมที่ไม่ก่อเกิดมูลค่าเพิ่ม ซึ่งทำให้อัตราผลผลิตลดลง ส่งผลให้รอบเวลาสำหรับการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์มากขึ้นเมื่อเทียบกับเป้าหมาย หลังจากได้ทำการปรับปรุงการทำงานจากการลดกิจกรรมที่ไม่ก่อเกิดมูลค่าเพิ่ม สามารถลดขั้นตอนของกระบวนการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์เกรด A จากเดิม 17 ขั้นตอน เป็น 14 ขั้นตอน กระบวนการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์เกรด B จากเดิม 18 ขั้นตอน เป็น 15 ขั้นตอน กระบวนการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์เกรด C จากเดิม 26 ขั้นตอน เป็น 23 ขั้นตอนและกระบวนการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์เกรด D จากเดิม 27 ขั้นตอน เป็น 26 ขั้นตอน โดยจากการลดขั้นตอนการทำงานทำให้รอบเวลาการตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์จากเดิมเฉลี่ย 77 เซ็นตินาที (47.40 วินาที) ต่อเส้น เป็น 69 เซ็นตินาที (39.60 วินาที)ต่อเส้น หรือคิดเป็น 16.46 เปอร์เซ็นต์ โดย 1 วินาที จะเท่ากับ 0.6 เซ็นตินาที ส่งผลให้พนักงานตรวจสอบยางรถยนต์ได้มากขึ้นจากเดิม 288 เส้นต่อคนต่อวัน เป็น 316 เส้นต่อคนต่อวัน

A Model Predictive Control Strategy Based On Predicted Mean Vote For A Building Hvac System, Chanthawit Anuntasethakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This thesis proposes a design of a supervisory model predictive controller for a heating-ventilation-air-conditioning (HVAC) control system. The control objective is to minimize the operating cost and take into account of electrical load shaving and thermal comfort of users. To ensure that thermal comfort is well regulated, we utilize the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) as an indicator and determine an acceptable bound of a desired set-point temperature. The control design consists of two layers, namely, a supervisory control (SC) layer and a model predictive control (MPC) layer. For the SC layer, we explore a configuration including the choice of predesign …

Manufacturing Cost Reduction In A Filling Process Of Aerosol Products, Nattagun Charoenbunsupkarn

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research focuses on the development of heuristics that help reduce the production cost of an aerosol filling process of a case study company, while satisfying all related constraints, including production capacity and due dates. The proposed heuristics are a two-phase one, where the initial solutions are first constructed based on simple dispatching rules, and, once completed, such solution is then iteratively improved by two different improvement heuristics, namely 2OPT and Node Shift. A tabu list is also embedded within such a framework to help reduce its computational time. We have assessed the performances of these heuristics based on 6 …

Implications Of Variability Of Electromyographic Measurements For Assessing Localized Muscle Fatigue, Hamad Nasser Alasim

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The impact of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) is enormous due to a combination of direct and indirect costs associated with healthcare, lost workdays and human suffering. Because of the established relationship between Localized Muscle Fatigue (LMF) development and WMSDs, and in order to reduce and/or prevent WMSDs in workplaces, different fatigue assessment methods have been developed. Surface Electromyography (SEMG) is a commonly used LMF assessment technique. The SEMG signals are typically analyzed in time and frequency domains to predict LMF based on a relative change with respect to initial, or under no-fatigue conditions. Quantifying such change, however, relies on the …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

One of the aims of installing ventilation filters in a car is to prevent vehicle occupants from inhaling potentially harmful aerosols emanating from the environment. Vehicle cabin filters are essential in ensuring that a vehicle's air conditioning system provides clean air to its occupants. The purpose of the cabin filter is to improve air quality inside the car to provide better comfort and better protect occupants from experiencing unwanted respiratory problems. Using cabin filters in air conditioning systems is a common practice in modern vehicle manufacturing. Scientists and engineers are continually seeking new ways of improving the efficiency and effectiveness …

Enabling Flexibility Through Strategic Management Of Complex Engineering Systems, Walter Louis Barnes Ii

Doctoral Dissertations

”Flexibility is a highly desired attribute of many systems operating in changing or uncertain conditions. It is a common theme in complex systems to identify where flexibility is generated within a system and how to model the processes needed to maintain and sustain flexibility. The key research question that is addressed is: how do we create a new definition of workforce flexibility within a human-technology-artificial intelligence environment?

Workforce flexibility is the management of organizational labor capacities and capabilities in operational environments using a broad and diffuse set of tools and approaches to mitigate system imbalances caused by uncertainties or changes. …
