Modeling and Simulation of a Serial Production Line with Constant Work-In-Process

نویسنده

  • Mehmet Savsar
چکیده

This paper presents a model for an unreliable production line, which is operated according to demand with constant work-in-process (CONWIP). A simulation model is developed based on the discrete model and several case problems are analyzed using the model. The model is utilized to optimize storage space capacities at intermediate stages and the number of kanbans at the last stage, which is used to trigger the production at the first stage. Furthermore, effects of several line parameters on production rate are analyzed using design of experiments. Keywords—Production line simulator, Push-pull system, JIT system, Constant WIP, Machine failures.

Productivity Improvement through Line Balancing by Using Simulation Modeling

The typical problems facing garment manufacturers are long production lead time, bottlenecking, and low productivity. The most critical phase of garment manufacturing is the sewing phase, as it generally involves a number of operations or for the simple reason that it’s labor intensive. In assembly line balancing, allocation of jobs to machines is based on the objective of minimizing the workfl...

Modeling and Simulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate Production by Protomonas extorquens in Fed-batch Culture

Modeling and simulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by Protomonas extorquens in fed-batch culture were conducted in this research. The fed-batch model, developed for this process, employed a kinetic model proposed by other researchers. Several kinetic models were investigated to choose the best model. The criterion for this selection was goodness of fit (δ2). Haldane kinetic model w...
