Abstract
This thesis treats the problem of multi-variable sensitivity analysis in a production system which may be used in investigating a variety of characteristics of a flow production system which involve idle time, cost, production rate, ect. are the subjects of the analysis.
The analysis procedure follows the rule of INPUT/OUTPUT through a production process. A simple system model using elements such as : raw material, transfer tool, labor, machine and energy/ or electrical power, is used to lead into the construction of dependent-variable system. A utilization is made of industrial robots as well as humans in loading and unloading machines so as to evaluate the probable effects of worker replacement in the production process.
The purpose of establishing those models is to survey the variety of manufacturing process; therefore, for the advanced research work, one could develop those models into more reliable manufacturing system or a primal data base system.
