Although the first impression is that one engine assembly line is much like another, there are usually sufficient
differences to rule out the re-use of an existing model. Consequently a new WITNESS model has generally been constructed from first principles for each new engine assembly line. The drawback to this approach is the time it takes to build a brand new model and hence the delay in delivery of useful results. For simulation purposes, the Work Standard and Layout Drawing data are consolidated into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet along with other information such as reliability and maintenance data, shift patterns and local control logic. When the data has all been entered the Excel application automatically generates the finished model. Ford are now looking to expand the use of this technology across a range of other areas, including the machining lines that produce items such as cylinder heads, engine blocks and crankshafts. Ford see the FAST tool as a significant step forward in their continued drive to roll out powerful analytical technologies to the workplace.
