Application of MOD Method in Virtual Manufacturing Environment

In virtual manufacturing environment, MOD method is applied to complete work measurement and obtain standard time, which breaks through the traditional areas of application in realistic manufacturing system. Furthermore, this method can also provide the required data for designers to optimize facility layout, make production plan and establish reasonable operator arrangement. In this way, labor costs and material cost owing to adjust unreasonable layout and operator arrangement after practical production begins is saved greatly. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the proposed method.
