IMPROVING OF MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH SIMULATION

Improvement of manufacturing system is must do process due to development of manufacturing technology and increase in customer needs. Due to development of technology, companies need to do improvement of their current system in order to survive in competition. This study will analyse overall productivity and identified critical process that consider bottleneck. This study also will quantify impact of batch capacity in manufacturing productivity. Computer aided simulation software will be used as main method. Data of manufacturing system will be collected and will be used as input in simulation software.. Altering several parameters such as machines quantity and batch size helps author to studied final output. It helps author reduce time to do trial for new design as simulation software will done based on real time and system performance will be address to help improvise new design. Simulation also can be applied at both the justification phase and design phase. By using this method, critical area can be identified in manufacturing system and explore several solution based on different scenario.
