material flow simulation
What is Material Flow Simulation?
- A complete 3D digital environment for Material Flow Simulation and analysis
- Used to analyze:
-
3D layout and material handling systems
-
ottleneck identification and corrective actions
-
Labor requirements or resource requirements
-
Throughput of the production system
-
Productivity and utilizations
-
Inventory and WIP
Features
- Create a production system that includes products, resources, and product flows
- Customize by defining specific resource behavior
-Simulate realistically at different levels of detail
- Analyze by displaying simulation statistics and resource reports during simulation
- Edit its components to optimize its performance
When Should You Simulate?
- Simulate when you’re designing a new facility or system
- Simulate when you’re adding new equipment or adjusting line rates.
- Simulate throughout the life of the facility for continuous improvement
- Simulate to support capital investment
