Abstract: |
Discrete-event process simulation
has long since earned its place as one of the most powerful and frequently
applicable analytical tools available for production process analysis and
improvement. Also, the manufacturing economic sector has rapidly become more
competitive, requiring both greater economy and greater efficiency of
operations. In the present application of simulation, a Tier I automotive
industry supplier, beset with these economic pressures, sought to improve the
productivity and efficiency of a test-&- inspection line being designed
for an automotive engine plant. Simulation was successfully used to design
this line to meet stringent requirements of productivity, low original equipment
cost, and low operating cost. Via comparison of multiple alternatives, this
simulation study identified potential bottlenecks and produced
recommendations for their improvement or removal. |
