A Study on the Learning in Two Different Work Systems (Design of Mass-Production Assembly Work System) : Series C : Vibration, Control Engineering, Engineering for Industry

This paper describes the result of an experimental study on the comparison between the learning of the job enlargement system and of the flow line system. The theory of the selection of an economical work system is proposed. It is composed of get-and-place time, the number of station's the ratio of line balance loss, the initial cycle-time and the learning coefficient of both systems. Both systems based on the theory can be evaluated with the productivity ; and the availability of the theory is examined by an experiment. As a result, it is clarified that the theory is available for practical use.
