With the mass production and use of car, the social are also increasing the requirements the automotive industry development. More and more automobile manufacturers are hoping to establish an efficient identification system, so that management would be enhanced to improve the efficiency and reduce the error rate. What’s more, motor-dom has been the important application field of RFID technique. In this paper, the paper is to carry out a detailed analysis of technology and research for RFID anti-collision system to guide manufacturers to improve the efficiency of RFID systems in the automotive assembly line and to solve the problem of collision multi-tag identification.

Assembly Procedure

Assembly process sheets are formal documents used extensively within automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to document and communicate assembly procedure, required tooling, contingency plans, and time study results. These sheets are authored throughout the vehicle life-cycle. Further, various customers use these sheets for training, analyzing the process, and line-balancing. In this research, the primary focus is the time studies analysis that is completed using knowledge contained within the assembly process sheets. In this research, a method and software tool are developed to utilize coupling between part descriptions and process descriptions for assembly time studies. The method is realized through the development of a standardized vocabulary for describing work instructions, a mapping from work instructions to MTM codes, and a tool for extracting relevant part information from CAD models. The approach enables process planners to establish part-process coupling, author work instructions using the controlled vocabulary, to estimate assembly time. A prototype system is developed and tested using examples from an automotive OEM.

Der Fachbeitrag zeigt am Beispiel der Nacharbeitssteuerung und Arbeitsprozessoptimierung in der Automobilmontage, wie produkt- und prozessbezogene Qualitätsdaten durch den Einsatz von Data Mining-Methoden analysiert sowie effizient genutzt werden können. Dazu wurden Daten aus Manufacturing-Execution-Systemen (MES) mithilfe von Regressionsbäumen zur Entwicklung einer fahrzeugspezifischen Nacharbeitsdauerprognose ausgewertet. Das grundlegende Data Mining-Konzept sowie die Pilotierungsergebnisse werden nachfolgend dargestellt.   The article shows at the example of rework control and operating process optimization in the car assembly how recorded product- and process-related quality data can be analyzed and used efficiently by using Data Mining-methods. With data from MES-systems regression trees were built for a vehicle-specific rework duration forecast. The basic concept and validation results will be presented below.

Joint Maintenance

The expenses associated with maintenance activities and energy consumption account for a large portion of the total operation cost in manufacturing plants. Therefore, effective methods that can be used for smart maintenance decision-making and energy management to reduce the costs of these two sections and improve the competitiveness of manufacturing enterprise are of high interests to industry. Many efforts focusing on maintenance decision-making and energy management have been dedicated. However, most of the existing research focusing on these two topics has been conducted separately, very little work has been done from a joint perspective that considers the benefits from both manufacturing machine reliability improvement and energy cost reduction. In this paper, a joint maintenance and energy management method is proposed to identify the maintenance actions considering energy cost as well as other equipment health metrics. A numerical case based on a section of an automotive assembly line is used to illustrate the potential benefits of the proposed approach.

Decentralized Bargaining

This paper examines the impact of enterprise bargaining on employment relations practices in the Australia automotive assembly sector in the context of the globalization of the industry. While there has been convergence towards lean production principles among the four auto assemblers, arising from global trends, there has also been divergence resulting from enterprise bargaining, among other variables. Strong similarities are apparent between the companies in areas such as work organization, skill formation and enterprise governance, whereas there are differences in remuneration and staffing practices. However, it remains to be seen whether decentralized bargaining will continue to yield greater differentiation in employment relations among the automotive manufacturers in an increasingly globalized industry.

Agency And Structure

This article investigates a case of successful union organizing in one automotive assembly plant in Romania. The authors argue that in order to explain why the union succeeds in defending workers’ rights there is a need to consider both structural and agency aspects that condition labor’s capacity to effectively defend their interests. The findings show that the union at the Romanian plant has made use of a diverse repertoire of protest activities in order to defend its worker constituency. The authors also discuss why as of late protests are less and less used by the union in response to the shifting economic and political environment in which the plant is embedded. They argue that a closer look at the strategy of the Romanian union and the path it has taken in the past decade provides a better understanding of the conditions for union success in an economic, legal, and political environment that has become increasingly hostile toward organized labor. In this sense, the article points to the more general situation unions in Central and Eastern Europe have found themselves in recent years.
