Modelling the Impossible at Michelin

For a number of years Michelin has been using WITNESS simulation to continually improve production efficiency and effectively manage the process of engineering change. Benefits have been numerous including regular improvements in productivity as different elements of the production process have been refined. Here we examine how simulation has recently been used to lessen the effects of minor production stoppages and yet again, achieve a step change in performance.
