Abstract

In this paper, Yunnan Y Automotive Company is taken as a research subject. Firstly, the troubleshooting methods from shallower to the deeper were summarized to find the origin of the defects quickly and efficiently. Then, the model of troubleshooting method was built by Petri net. What is more, the model was corresponded to single-queue and multiserver model and the optimal value of C corresponding to the optimal number of the quality engineer was calculated adopting marginal solving method. Finally, the results of calculation were simulated and verified using the simulation software Flexsim. Results indicate the troubleshooting method can detect the fault source efficiently.
