Abstract
In order to effectively implement the setup operations on a pallet, machining workers have to suitably install workpieces to be machined on a pallet, while considering the sequence of machining operations. Skilled workers can easily implement the setup operations ; however, it is very difficult for unskilled workers. In this paper, first, the method for determining the optimum sequence of operations as well as the optimum allocation of workpiece on a pallet is proposed. Then, the computer aided instruction system which is the training and evaluation system for skillfully implementing the setup operations on a pallet is developed to approach the calculated optimum solutions with a repeat learning of workers. Finally, the training effectiveness of workers by using this system is demonstrated with a numerical example.
