Dynamic Modeling of Discrete Event Simulation

Abstract

This study shows the contribution of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) for improvement of statics production scheduling process in the environment of dynamic demand. Using simulation software - Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 13 ® by Siemens, makes it possible to structure a digital factory model. It defines and validates the operating logic of this model and enables the automatic reconfiguration of production planning. This virtual model represents the operations of eyewear industry starting from placing customer request till collecting final product. The primary purpose is to automate most of the production planning process and enable automatic execution in virtual settings, which will potentially guide the physical operation. The result is to provoke integration between production management systems with simulation tools, therefore increase productivity, reduce waste and improve the use of labor.
