Abstract

from raw materials and semi products
pass through many tasks, these tasks differ in numbers and complexity with the product
differece, design specifications, and also the production system type. Tasks time
differential cause work in process inventory problem or idle time problem in some
workstations of the line. These problems affect efficiency of the line and increase the
total production cost. In this research, computer aided visual monitoring system designs
and builds for monitoring the flow of materials and determine location and quantity of
work in process inventory in the production line to minimize this problems by rearrange
workstations of the line and connecting the critical stations that materials blocked in it
with extra stations in parallel to minimize the work in process inventory among
workstations of the line possiblely to minimum level to increase the flow of materials
and then to the increases efficiency of the line .The suggested system applied at the state
company for electrical industries on the stator production line where the system uses for
monitoring & studying flow of materials between its workstations. The researcher
depends on company data&his grouping data. Monitoring &studying the current
workstations arrangement shows low efficiency (50.96%) and low daily production rate
(270 unite/day), so arrange workstations of the line by suggested arrangement, can
increase the line efficiency to (77.96%)and also can increase daily production rate to
(540unite/day) by arrange the line workstations by suggested arrange
