【 摘 要 】

Today, the globalization of production and strong competition in the automotive industry requires manufacturers to offer their customers a wide range of products of the best quality and at lower prices. In order to accomplish this objective, the production systems must be as flexible and responsive to customer requests as possible and the production flow should be uniform. The usage of the most modern methods, techniques and tools, such as modelling and simulating production flows and Lean manufacturing, in the layout planning, work organization and production management is imperative to such production systems. In this context, at the University of Pitesti, a Learning Factory has been in development, that facilitates the research in laboratory conditions of modern manufacturing methods and their transfer to factories from automotive industry. The laboratory was developed within a research project and includes integrated research and teaching platforms, specific to layout design, modelling and simulation flows and Lean manufacturing, while also comprising elements of digitalization (Industry 4.0). The Lean Learning Factory at the University of Pitesti is in a continuous developing process which will allow students to enrich their practical skills and competencies concerning modern methods, techniques and tools, by using factory-like equipment. Moreover, this laboratory can also be accessed by automotive companies' employees from Arges County to improve their abilities in Lean manufacturing.
