Discrete Event Simulation and Production System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The research focuses on increasing production volume and decreasing costs at a hardness test block manufacturer. A discrete event simulation model is created to investigate potential system wide improvements. Using the results from the simulation a production work-cell is proposed that will allow a single worker to operate 7 machines at a rate that exceeds existing production rates. This results in the workforce being reduced by a factor of four while reducing product lead-time by 30% and increasing throughput by 50%.

Background: The waiting list is a list of selected patients in the surgical queue. If demand exceeds capacity, the waiting list grows rapidly, which may lead to unacceptable waiting for patients, especially those in need of acute medical care. Patients waiting for heart surgery are placed on the waiting list for surgery, and sometimes the waiting time is longer than patients expect. Reducing th...
متن کاملDetermining production level under uncertainty using fuzzy simulation and bootstrap technique, a case study
In every production plant, it is necessary to have an estimation of production level. Sometimes there are many parameters affective in this estimation. In this paper, it tried to find an appropriate estimation of production level for an industrial factory called Barez in an uncertain environment. We have considered a part of production line, which has different production time for different kin...
