ABSTRACT
Since its discovery, the COVID-19 virus spread all over the world and caused millions of deaths, this paper focuses on studying the impact of the pandemic on the connected and non-connected automotive production lines. This study is developed on two production lines in an automotive manufacturing factory that assembles 700 cars per day and the study is elaborated following two main steps: firstly, studying the impact of the virus spreading on the OEE "Overall Equipment Effectiveness” of the production lines, which is a quantitative metric used for the evaluation of the line effectiveness based on availability, performance and quality, and secondly analyzing the relationship between these factors and the OEE using the Design of Experiments method © 2023, Suranaree Journal of Science and Technology.All Rights Reserved.
ABSTRACT
The prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the third registered spillover of an animal coronavirus to humans from the early 21st century. Coronaviruses are important human and animal pathogens. The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) rapidly spreads, resulting in an epidemic throughout China, followed by an increasing number of cases in other countries throughout the world. Recently, a wide range of inhibitors have been introduced for treatment of COVID-19, and also promising vaccines are in late phase of development. Here, we aim to present an overview of recent findings of the biological and clinical aspects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, along with possible treatments and future vaccines.
ABSTRACT
At the time of writing this article, there have been 18 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, many industries were affected hardly from the pandemic and thousands of companies closed their doors. The automotive industry was also hit by COVID-19 due to the large number of human resources in this industry (8,397,451 Employees).This project is based on comparing connected and non-connected production lines and studying the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on each on. The comparative study is done on two production lines in an automobile manufacturing company that assembles 650 car per day.We will analyze the impact of the virus spreading on the number of workers, Quality Rate, Output Rate and the Ergonomics level. © 2020 IEEE.
