International Comparison Study on the Factory - Automation System of Automobile Assembly Plants.

80年代末到90年代初，汽车装配线的装配自动化得到了迅速发展.然而，这种趋势倾向于硬导向自动化更高，必须支持自动化系统的信息系统不能有效地运行。这些趋势，重新考虑硬导向自动化和评估技能和团队合作不仅在日本，而且在美国和欧洲非常突出。在这些西方国家，一方面，许多汽车制造厂已经引入了精益生产系统，生产柔性试错的基础。另一方面，也有一些错误的案例，如通用汽车的Hamtramic工厂和菲亚特卡西诺工厂，在他们的工厂工艺设计中，他们首先推进了面向硬的装配自动化，忽视了人工的技能和作用。但是，即使在西方国家，也有一种对硬导向自动化的反思，并加强了利用自动化技术改造工厂设计的新趋势。 ...更多信息 如前所述，我们的研究小组集中了这些新趋势，协调了装配自动化以前的研究，并与几个新趋势工厂进行了新的工厂调查。例如，与菲亚特的合资工厂P.S.A. Sevelnord工厂、菲亚特Melfi工厂、通用土星工厂、丰田的肯塔基州工厂和九州工厂。我们与德国研究伙伴Jurgens博士密切联系，努力协调合作研究内容，并在日本和欧洲交换相互意见。去年12月，我们在日本尝试了联合工厂调查，以缩短本田狭山工厂的研发和工厂生产试验的前置时间。我们与美国的McDuffy教授和英国的Tidd教授相互交流了我们的研究成果。为了加强国际研究交流，我们现在将出版新书，收集我们的研究和研究论文。这本即将出版的书名为“改造汽车装配：自动化和工作组织的国际经验”，由Shimokawa，Fujimoto和Jurgens共同编辑。这本书将于今年由施普林格出版社在德国发行。少

During late 1980' to early 1990' Assembly automation in the automobile asembly line has been developed very rapidly. This tendency, however, tended to be hard oriented automation more highlyl and information system which must to do support automation system could not operate effectively.These tendency in which reconsider hard oriented automation and evaluate skillfulness and teamwork become very eminent not only in Japan but also in U.S.and Europe. In these western countries, on the one hand, many automobile plants has introduced lean production system with production flexibility try and error base. On the other hand, there were the mistaked cases, like as GM' Hamtramic Plant and Fiat Cassino Plant, in which advanced hard oriented assembly automation at first with ignoring skillfulness and role of human labuor in their plant process design. But even in western countries there are a reflection toward the hard oriented automation and enhancing new trend to reconstruct plant design with u … More sing human knowledge and skillfulness.As mentioned above, with concentrating these new trend, our study group coordinated assembly automation enquete research before and newly tried plant survey with several new trend plants. For example, Sevelnord Plant which is joint venture plant P.S.A.with Fiat, Fiat Melfi Plant, GM Saturn Plant, and Toyota'Kentucky Plant and Kyushu Plant.We have closely related with Dr.Jurgens who is German research partner and tried to coordinate collaborated research contents and to exchange mutual opinions in Japan and Europe. In Japan last December we tried joint plant survey on the shortening lead time of R&D and plant production trial at Honda Sayama Plant. And we have exchanged our research results mutually with Professor McDuffy in U.S.and Professor Tidd in Uk.In strengthening international exchange of doing research, we are now going to publish new book in which collect our studies and research papers. This forthcoming book titled "Transforming Auto Assembly ; International Experiences with Automation and Work Organization "and co-edited Shimokawa, Fujimoto, and Jurgens. This book will be issued by Springer Verlag in Germany during this year. Less
