RunTheModel - MetalManufacturing2

MetalManufacturing2

Challenge:

Some of the challenges here is to determine optimal product mix, identify system bottlenecks, meet order targets, balance downstream flow and some key planning concerns.

Solution:

Build a simulation model to observe the behaviour of the system by incorporating arrival process, service completion distribution, complex product routing and scrapping events. This model has been built with various decision rules. For instance if the R044 utilization goes beyond 90% then the products will be re-reouted to R046.

This model is one of the models built. Not all the models are available in here.

Caveat:

This is one of the models built with a constraint of software limiting to use only 25 objects. Benefits and results mentioned were extracted with the help of all models.

What benefits were delivered? What surprises or new insights were gained? What savings, improvements, or new strategies were enabled by this model?

Some of the results obtained are scenario analysis experimentation, queue time investigation under various scenarios and product mix determination.
