375 Chapter 367: Pulsating Production Line

When Quancaihe Equipment Company was busy setting up, LED company was busy moving.

After more than 8 months of intense construction, the new factory building was finally put into use.

The equipment of the new production line was directly installed in the new plant.Daping's old production line and office parts have slowly moved over.

The community store can't accommodate LED companies anymore. This place is barely an office, but it is not suitable as a factory.Various flows of people and logistics have put a lot of pressure on the traffic in the community. In addition, the company's night shift has been constantly complained by residents.

The new plant is integrated with the newly acquired factories.Whether it is planning or future development, Optoelectronics has the posture of a large enterprise.

One of the biggest advantages of the new plant is that it is closed management, and various guards and canteens can be built.

The employees of the company often go to the school cafeteria to eat at noon and evening, as if someone has complained.

New LED factory, first floor.

Several middle-aged people walked in the wide workshop.Behind them were several entourages.

Principal Lin Shuqiang stood beside the guests, constantly pointing fingers and paintings, and doing introductions to the leader who did not know where he was from.

The Industrial Park of the University of Technology has achieved continuous results this year.However, most of these companies are simple because they are rudimentary, and many use old factories or even classrooms.Although the product is high-tech, it is really unsightly.

The newly completed factory building is more stylish no matter how it looks.

No matter what, LED can be regarded as a kind of semiconductor, and there is indeed a relatively advanced dust-free workshop in the factory, which is the best business card that the University of Technology can get.

Therefore, since the new plant was put into use, there has been an endless stream of groups or individuals visiting here.

Whenever guests and leaders come to visit Bingcheng.The company's new factory, just like the original large screen, has become a must-see place.

—————————

"Why is the layout of your workshop different from Philip's."

The leaders who came to visit did not understand anything.Some differences can be seen with the naked eye.

"Because our two production lines are arranged in different ways. Theirs is assembly line deployment, ours is not."

Wang Zhiwu, the director of the workshop, accompanied him.

"Your production line is not an assembly line?"

"No!"

"Mass production, isn't it all assembly lines?"

With the repeated screenings of "Modern Times", assembly line is the concept of industrialized production, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Our production line layout is more advanced, and currently only a few companies in the world are using it."

Wang Zhiwu's face is not red and his heart is not beating. This is also nothing to do.Everyone who visits will ask the same question.In the end, he was gone, and simply ran to blame the perpetrator.The result was an unexpected answer.

"Really? What is your production line layout method called? Where is it used?"

The leader became interested in hearing this.He is also well-informed, and he didn't look at the production line less, but this is the first time I have seen LED companies like this.

In the entire workshop, there is no conveyor belt at all, just a bunch of workers, pushing carts and running around.

—————————

"This production line layout is called a pulsating layout, and Boeing uses the same layout as ours."

Wang Zhiwu had to bite the bullet and talk nonsense with his eyes open.

What production line layout does Boeing adopt and how does he know?Isn't he airsick?

"Boeing? The one that makes the plane?"

The guests were taken aback. The plane's compulsiveness was obviously high enough, not to mention the American Boeing.It turned out to be messy and inconspicuous, and the layout of the equipment suddenly rose up.

"What are the benefits of this pulsed production line?"

"The main thing is to solve the problem of flexible production. Although the traditional assembly line has a large output, it also faces some problems, that is, the equipment on the entire production line must run at the same rhythm. No problem.

This situation is acceptable in areas where the technology is mature, but it is not suitable in areas where the technology changes rapidly or is immature."

"You mean, because the LED technology is too new, it is more appropriate to use this process layout?"

The leader listened to the explanation and nodded again and again.No one knows Boeing's name.They are all the most advanced production lines in the United States, which definitely makes sense!

—————————

The layout of the pulsating production line is mainly used in conjunction with the LCD production line.Use in the LED workshop is to do related proof of concept.

When designing a standard production line layout, first consider the design guidelines of the entire production line.For example, how many tasks are completed per minute, and then according to this indicator, and then gradually broken down into each device.

The design guidelines of the production line are transformed into equipment design indicators and parameters.

The prerequisite for adopting this model is that the equipment indicators and parameters must be sufficiently rich.For example, any required parameters can be achieved by equipment manufacturers.

Under this circumstance, equipment manufacturers are designing with lower indicators.The actual operation index of the equipment is less than the maximum operation index of the equipment.

But on the LCD production line, all equipment is put into use for the first time.The operating upper limit of each device is unknown.

Some equipment may meet or exceed the design guidelines, but some, due to technical difficulties, can only operate at a reduced speed.In this case, if the traditional assembly line layout is adopted, which equipment cannot meet the operating parameters, which equipment will become the shortcoming and bottleneck of the assembly line.

Using the pulsation method, this problem can be better solved.

What should I do if the technical indicators of the equipment are not up to expectations in a certain station and process?

Very simple, add equipment!Use quantity to compensate for quality.

In this way, the performance requirements for a single device will drop a lot.Many equipments fail to meet the technical requirements during high-speed production, which does not mean that they cannot meet the low-speed production.

In theory, as long as the plant is large enough, no matter how poor the equipment is and how low the index is, the production line can reach the standard!

Another advantage of this layout is that the output and production capacity are adjustable.

Add more water to the noodles, add more water to the noodles, and so on.As long as the plant area is sufficient, the production capacity can expand indefinitely.

—————————

The guests walked around on the first floor and then came to the second floor of the factory.The two factories built by Optoelectronics are both of double-layer structure.The semiconductor factories of later generations are all multi-layer structures.

"Hey, why are there so many small houses here?"

In the empty workshop space, on one side, a batch of large and small white square buildings were neatly built.

Actually, the second floor has not been put into use. The area of ​​this part is mainly reserved for LCD.

Although the equipment did not come in, some preparations have already begun.

"This is also our new plant layout plan, which is called a factory in a factory."

"What does it mean to have a factory in a factory?"

Guests are interested.Today’s visit did not come in vain, I have been listening to new terms.

"This is mainly due to energy conservation considerations. The semiconductor production lines require relatively high dust-free requirements. Our workshops have a large area, and all of them do high-standard dust removal, and the cost is too high. Using this mode of local small workshops can effectively reduce The amount of air for dust removal, thereby reducing operating costs."

"Not bad!"

Guest, remember these contents, and plan to go back to find opportunities to promote.

—————————

Since LCD has very high requirements for the air cleanliness of the plant, this makes the construction cost of the plant a large part of air purification!

This air purification cost will also be reflected in the daily operation.Electricity, water, etc.

Although the pulsating production method reduces the technical requirements for production equipment, it also increases the area of ​​the plant.As the area of ​​the plant increases, naturally, the air-conditioning installation cost and operating cost will increase simultaneously.

In order to solve this problem, the factory-in-factory plan was proposed.Its idea is to wrap a relatively small shell on the outside of the operating equipment. In this way, the volume of air that actually needs to be purified is reduced.

Each device is located in a relatively independent small air cavity.The equipment is also connected by a special enclosed space.

Through this mode, the air-conditioning installation cost and operating cost of the overall plant can be significantly reduced.

After all, the cost of making compartments is very low.These compartments do not assume the role of building support, and construction is also very convenient.

—————————

"No wonder your products can be sold all over the world. You really do things with your heart!"

The visit of the guests can be regarded as having fun and returning with satisfaction.

This factory building is unique in terms of construction, products, process layout, and factory-in-the-factory plan.
