Abstract
This paper studies the problem of scheduling sequence in a paint shop within the motor vehicle industry, in which vehicles are sorted in assembly line by pattern giving rise to disorderliness of color sequence. Its messy affair would raise the cost caused by frequent spray-head cleaning and environmental pollution. The aim of this paper is to fix up a better scheduling to gather up vehicles by color. This study considers three level of 60, 90, 120 degree to color-concentration, and examines the performance of each by constructing a simulation model. The experiment framework follows Hybrid Approach Method. The results indicate that the higher concentration to fashion-color, the lower of color-swapping rate, in another word, which shows the better performance. In this case, the performance of concentration of 120 degree is better than 60 degree, even 90 degree does. Findings also suggest that using a graphical simulation display would make it acceptable to users, and the result of simulation is to support decision analysis.
