Dynamic simulation of production processes

Dynamic simulation of production processes

How the manager can answer the question “What if”?
How to achieve a condition where capacity and load are about equal?
How to identify adding value?
How to balance our processes?

What happens if we change process parameters e.g.?

  • set up – time
  • downtime
  • availability of the machines
  • performance
  • quality
  • capacity
  • waste reduction

How the changed parameters will affect:

  • process throughput
  • process profitability
  • bottle neck, buffer, inventory
  • productivity
  • process cost and waste

There are many inputs on production, with direct impact on process performance and profitability. Without correct simulation it’s very hard to answer the question: What if?

And with simulation you may discover many operations / steps that can be replaced by better solutions or even eliminated.
