Structure-based System Dynamics Analysis - a case study of line process optimization

Abstract

Process optimization is an ongoing challenge for a lot of systems engineers and the need for change increases constantly. Here we address the problem of adjustment in line processes by using System Dynamics combined with a Multiple-Domain Matrix. Data from a case study of line processes of an industry partner is used as an empirical basis. The implications from the results of the model are used for adjusting the line processes of the industry partner. The paper contributes by demonstrating the utility of the developed method combination for line process adjustment.
