| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 管理學院碩士在職專班工業工程與管理組 === 97 === Domestic auto industry is facing a bottleneck of market saturation. In order to maintain market share, automobile companies have to continually introduce new models to enhance consumers’ purchasing willingness. In Taiwan, most auto manufacturers adopt a high-variety-low-volume mixed line mode of production. The number of types of parts often doubles as result of a newly introduced car model. When the production area is limited, the production efficiency is highly affected by the increasing number of parts.
Set Parts Supply (SPS) Model, derived from the Just-in-time manufacturing of Toyota production methods, is an effective way in reducing the line-side storage space which often also leads to an improvement of production efficiency. SPS moves all components away from the production line and assigns specific operators to deliver parts with completed set based upon the car producing sequence to supply production line instead. There is very little literature that studied the implementation of SPS model. This research constructs a process for auto makers to implement the SPS model in practice. A real case drawn from a Taiwanese auto manufacturer is used to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed process.
