Validation
of production line design
through simulation
Objective
Validate production line through simulation
Activities and Tasks
- 3D modeling of the production line in FlexSim: equipments and OEEs, processes and times of each reference, buffers, material handling system, …
- What If scenario simulation: demand variation in quantities and product mix, variation in times and OEEs, size of buffers, variation in speeds of the material handling system, …
- Analysis of results, identification of critical variables and proposals for improvement to optimize the line: identification of bottlenecks, buffer size, impacts of the sequencing of the demand, influence of breakdowns on the line, …
- Decision on the improvements and adjustments to be made
- Validation of the design of the production line for the fixed demand and operation
Deliverables and Results
- 3D model of the production line
- What If scenario simulation and results
- Identification of critical variables for the correct operation and optimization of the line
- Line optimization. Guarantee a robust design, avoid unnecessary investments and increase productivity
- Preventive tool to identify risks and seek solutions to future changes
