Case study
• During this course the case study will be the Flexible Production System. This system exist in reality and
belongs to the LGIPM in Metz, Lorraine.
• The production system corresponds to an assembly line and the term flexible refers to the system’s
ability to adjust its assembly operations depending on the product’s type
• Below is a picture of the system in a 3D environment

Case Study
During this lab, we are going to configure, simulate, and an analyze a whole production system that
engraves glass blocks with a laser machine and packs them for delivery to clients. This production line
has 8 stations and needs raw material in the following way.

Workstation 1: Engraved Laser Machine

Workstation 2: Storage Station
Workstation 3: Assembly Station
Workstation 4: Assembly Station
Workstation 5: Quality Control Station
Workstation 6: Packaging Station
Workstation 7: Delivery Arrangement
Workstation 8: Delivery Arrangement

8
Case Study
After the block engraved in the workstation 1, the product goes through 3 main steps: Assembly process,
Quality Control, and Packaging & Delivery.

The system produces 3 variants of the

product by assembling blocks and
sockets of different colors. The product
has an RFID chip within the assembly
specifications (Smart product) allowing
the machines to perform the production
orders.

Manufactured Item Definition
The Manufactured Item Definition app allows us to define and manage the MBOM. You can create the
complete assembly structure of a product.

• The tree of a product contains:

▪ The inserted components.

▪ The engineering connections used to

position them.

18
Manufactured Item Definition
Useful tool which are used in this course

• Provided part
Refers to a single part which is provided
for a manufacturing assembly

• Manufacturing Assembly:
Refers to a manufacturing assembly
made of several parts and/or
sub-assemblies

19
Process Planning
During the process planning you will define the routings/operations using the MBOM that was previously
defined as input. You will describe the sequence of routings/operations, associate time and capable
resources and distribute them along the production line.

• The objectives of process planning are as follows:

▪ Define the logical view of your production line
▪ Describe all the detailed assembly and/or fabrication routings/operations to produce the input
product
▪ Specify related time and create constraints between the routings/operations
▪ Balance these routings/operations across the different workplace, stations and zones of the
production line and identify any workload issue versus cycle time
▪ Validate the assembly sequence in the work area

• Unloading

23
Work Instructions
• The Work Instructions app provides a 3D immersive environment for you to author work instruction
types, including text-based work instructions, data collection, sign off and alerts. These work instruction
types can then be easily sequenced with simple drag-and-drop capabilities for any specific operation in
the process.

• You can use the Work Instructions app with the data containing defined general operations. It is set up
using either the Assembly Experience app or the Process Planning app.

• You can enter the work instructions directly to add instructions to operations, that do not have other
operations as children.

Bill of Materials Types

28
Definition of Bill Of Materials
• Bill of Materials will be abbreviated as “BOM”
for the rest of this course.
• This document contain all necessary
components in order to manufacture a
product
• The "BOM" will be the skeleton of a product,
it will often be represented in the form of a
tree ("Product Tree"), this allows anyone to
quickly know the components, subassembly
or raw materials used to make a product.
• This representation also makes it possible to
trace the order of use of the various
components and to know the quantities
required to manufacture a given product.
29
Types of BOM
BOM can be modulated depending on the use we want. This modulation allows to dedicate some parts
to a specific unit, here we will see several examples

CAD-BOM will evolve into E-BOM, which will

define the product in a more technical and
functional way.

Fig1 : CAD-BOM example

Example:

• Glues
• Lubricant

32
E-BOM
✔ The E-BOM or "Engineering Bill of Materials" is produced by the
design office and corresponds to the technical and functional
description of the products.

✔ It represents the composition of the final product.

✔ The Engineering-BOM (fig. 2) breaks down the final product into a

subassembly that fulfils a function and answers the question:

-What function must the components of the product perform ?

✔ The E-BOM allows the reuse and comparison of product

components

✔ It also includes different variants of the finished product.

33
 M-BOM
A Manufacturing Bill Of Materials (MBOM) contains all the parts and assemblies required to
build a complete product.

• It is usually in a hierarchical format with the

top most level showing the end product, and
the bottom level displaying individual
components and material.
• As a first step of Process Planning definition,
you should define an MBOM that details the
main assembly and/or transformation steps
to produce the end result using the input
product
• A M-BOM define product as they are built.

34
M-BOM
✔ After designing the product, it must be manufactured and shipped.

Séquence de montage
✔ To manufacture, it is necessary to take into account several criteria such as:

The means of production

Manufacturing processes

Cycle times

The costs

Manufacturing sites

The mode of supply

✔ Manufacturing-BOM breaks down the product based on the assembly process and answers the
M-BOM
question:

In which order are the product components assembled?

✔ This is where the M-BOM (fig) or "Manufacturing BOM" comes in.

✔ It uses the E-BOM repository as a starting point.

✔ The personnel assigned to the production methods pilot the M-BOM. These personnel must be in
close collaboration with logistics and purchasing because M-BOM determines which component of
the product should be delivered and where the entries for logistics are.
