Abstract

In recent times, the globalization of markets due to the improvement of utilization of resources has significant impact on the manufacturing systems. International competition forced companies to establish efficient and effective production facilities that provide best possible outcome in terms of profitability, throughput and lead time. In this background, every industrial facility is in competition to remain competitive in the market and be flexible for future changes. It is not easy to change the environment of any facility in order to check the results beforehand therefore simulation is a viable option. Simulation tools are used to help analyze performance measures for improvement. This paper presents a case by analyzing a facility in order to improve its production using simulation tool. In this study, simulation model for the production facility of Fort Ceramic Company is developed from its current state and then changes are made to its inter-arrival time. Models for both improved and current systems are developed in the simulation tool. Data analyzed in the simulation tool shows better results that represent a significant improvement in productivity, cycle time and throughput time to optimize the system.It is also observed that by decreasing the inter arrival time there is increase in the throughput which improves the revenue.
在瓷砖生产设备中使用仿真工具进行性能改进
近年来,由于资源利用率的提高而导致的市场全球化对制造系统产生了重大影响。国际竞争迫使公司建立高效的生产设施,以在盈利能力、产量和交货时间方面提供最佳结果。在这种背景下,每个工业设施都在竞争,以保持在市场上的竞争力,并灵活应对未来的变化。为了事先检查结果而改变任何设施的环境是不容易的,因此模拟是一种可行的选择。仿真工具用于帮助分析性能度量以进行改进。本文以某工厂为例,利用仿真工具对其进行分析,以提高其生产效率。本文从Fort陶瓷公司生产设备的现状出发,建立了该设备的仿真模型,并对其到达时间进行了调整。在仿真工具中开发了改进系统和现有系统的模型。在仿真工具中分析的数据显示了更好的结果,代表了生产力,周期时间和吞吐量时间的显着改进,以优化系统。我们还观察到,通过减少到达间隔时间,增加了吞吐量,从而提高了收入。
