ABSTRACT
We present a virtual-reality framework for the continuous improvement process (CIP) of industrial production lines. In contrast to the conventional CIP workshop, our framework facilitates the implementation and validation of proposed modifications of the (virtual) production environment during the workshop whereas the results are immediately visible. The core concept of our framework is a product assembly graph from which a computer-animated representation is derived. The latter can be exported into a VRML2-animation for display on immersive VR systems. Interactive tools allow the modification of the assembly graph, making these modifications and their impact immediately visible.
