Abstract
This
contribution focuses on optimizing the layout of the two production
lines for Daimler (hereinafter referred to as DA) and VW Group
(hereinafter referred to as VAG) products in the company BOS Automotive
Products ltd. The main reason for this optimization is the reduction of
the spatial arrangement of the production hall with regard to the
planned production. The aim of this study is to optimize the spatial
arrangement of the CARGO LOADER (hereinafter referred to as CL)
production hall, where storage systems for automobiles are produced on
the Daimler and VW Group production lines.
