시뮬레이션

Context OO제과는 발렌타인 데이를 맞아 새로운 제품을 출시하기로 결정하였다. 새로운 제품은 소비자의 기호에 따라 다양한 포장의 제품을 소량의 로트로 생산할 계획인데, 영업기획팀에서는 가능한 한 다양한 종류의 제품을 생산할 것을 요청하고 있다. 생산부서를 담당하고 있는 임원은 금번기회에 최소한의 레이아웃 변경으로 수요 가능한 제품의 종류 및 최소 로트 수량, 그리고 이에 소요되는 생산인원의 증가를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검토하기로 했다. Objectives . 소량의 오더를 수용하기 위하여 소요되는 설비의 능력 및 수량 (가동률 및 setup time 분석) . 인원 운용계획 및 동시생산이 가능한 제품의 구성 및 자원배분 . 소량 제품생산에 소요되는 원가분석 및 원료 배합계획, 공통자재 수급의 적정성 분석

Advanced automated business simulation tools from Lanner Group have been used by Bakkavor’s Delicatessen business to ensure that an increase in the range and quantity of products does not compromise the ability to deliver finished product on time. The simulation outputs have also helped to justify the correct capital expenditure, and avoid costly investment in unnecessary equipment.

AstraZeneca, one of the top five pharmaceutical companies in the world with sales of over £11 billion, is bringing several new drugs to market over the next few years. The ability to bring these to market quickly and to meet expected demand from day one will be critical to the future profitability of the company. One of the new products is an important class-leading drug in its field. It is anti..

Today’s healthcare sector is experiencing a growing demand for increasingly sophisticated laboratory testing procedures. With pressure to keep budgets lean, many laboratories are being asked to increase performance in terms of the diversity and volume of tests. The goal these days is to maximise output while minimising “cost per reportable.” Automated laboratories offer the potential for improvi..

Many companies recognise that simulation modelling can significantly reduce the risk associated with major change. A recent project at Carlsberg-Tetley’s Northampton Brewery resulted in an envisaged requirement to install a third filter at a cost of £1m being avoided whilst the requirement to increase capacity by 33% was met. The best solution, identified through modelling, was not the obvious o..

Diageo is the UK’s leading drinks company; its widget technology is world leading. As well as packaging its world famous stout, the facilities at Runcorn and Belfast provide a service to the other major breweries. In total some 150+ different products are packaged, in several different pack formats requiring unique routing along the pack lines. With the resulting scheduling complexities and deli..

A simulation study was conducted on a bottle packaging line for GlaxoSmithKline, formerly Glaxo Wellcome, at their Zebulon, North Carolina manufacturing facility. The study had three objectives: 1) increase the overall productivity of the equipment, 2) alleviate bottlenecks in the production process, and 3) decrease equipment downtime. Glaxo used WITNESS to develop the models in this study. WITN..
