DESIGN OF A COATING SYSTEM USING SIMAN - A CASE-STUDY

In this paper, we analyze four different operating methods of the coating system for Electronic Display Tube(EDT). The objective of this study is to develop new coating system design principles which are flexible and efficient in multi-product simultaneous production. We use SIMAN as a tool for the system analysis, and the criteria for comparisons with the existing systems are based on flexibilty and efficiency. We had operated the existing systems with fixed four different product patterns, but have found more flexible input patterns through simulation analysis and the productivity has been improved, We have also developed a few principles to enhance the system performance and more efficient new coating system design.
