Abstract

The precision casting and production of titanium alloy golf head is a complex and low production efficient industry in Taiwan. Due to the increasing global competition, high energy cost and explosive manpower growth, the golf head casting industry seek new approaches in the production processes and manufacturing techniques to improve productivity efficiency. This paper proposes a modeling tool based on the Petri net formalism to improve shop floor control of casting. The manufacturing golf head functions involving workflow processes and operations, scheduling, dispatching and monitoring are integrated and mapped by the Petri net model. The realistic data from industry are applied to the model and the results are sound. The overall manufacturing performance of the work cell can be estimated and improved cyclically to better performance.
