WHY Flow SIMULation
- Fact based decisions
- Reduce the losses
- Increase the productivity
Benefits/profits
- Test future system
- Test without disrupting production
- Identify bottlenecks
- Find optimal solutions
PROCESS
- Collecting data
- Create a Flow Simulation model
- Verify and validate it
- Run experiment and optimizations
areas of use
- Bottleneck analysis
- Prioritize resources
- Buffer dimensioning
- Capacity calculations
- Choose concept
- Choose supplier
- Optimize sequence
- Optimize batch sizes
EXEMPLes of questions
- What will be the throughput/h in the production system be?
- How does the throughput/h change if the cycle time is reduced by 10% in station 3?
- Which of these two scenarios gives the highest throughput/h
- How should the buffer slots be distributed to maximize the throughput/h?
- How many buffer slots are required to reach a rate of 60 parts/h?
- Which station is the bottleneck in the system?
- Which action has the greatest effect on throughput/h?
- Which of these systems is the most profitable?
