A study on operator allocation aiming at the skill improvement for cell production system (2^nd Report, Considering the effective education from an expert to newcomer)

Abstract

The effective education from an expert to a newcomer is an important issue to consider the meaning of accumulation of technical skill succession and know-how, or efficient training to a worker in the cell manufacturing system. We proposed the operator allocation method in OJT using a skill index for the cell manufacturing system of a task divide and a task exclusive system. However, in order to improve transfer and productivity of skill, the situation where two or more operators were allocated the same task occurs in an actual shop floor. In this study, we proposed the operator allocation method for collaborative operation with the procedure of task division.
