A Failure Handling Process Model for Failure Management in Manual Assembly

Abstract

The objective of this paper is the optimization of failure management in production. For this purpose, the failure management process was considered in terms of its interaction with the operational activities in an assembly line. The process for production-related failure management is sufficiently described in the literature, but so far only a few approaches exist that analyze the interactions between production and quality processes in a dynamic model. In this paper, an existing model was taken up and further developed to represent individual assembly lines. The further developed model was programmed as a System Dynamics model that is provided in this paper.
