Modeling and evaluation of alternative production scenarios in the field of composite manufacturing
Authors: Bernd Scholz-Reiter, Michael Lütjen
Abstract
At the perspective of production process engineering there is special requirements and characteristics for the manufacturing of composites like carbon-fiber- reinforced plastics (CFRP). This paper introduces a special framework for the conceptual production planning of series productions for CFRP-products. The submitted modeling concept has a semi-formal graphical notation, which provides the specification, analysis and evaluation of manufacturing of alternative manufacturing scenarios already in the planning phase. The option of an automatically generated simulation model enables the planning engineer to analyze the system performance of the modeled manufacturing scenario. This detailed analysis enables a further optimization of the scenario without additional expenditure. Apart from the documentation aspects of this modeling concept, the production process engineering will be improved by the management of alternative manufacturing scenarios.
