Simulation Study on Production Flow in Auto Part Manufacturing Based on Witness



Abstract

Abstract: Aiming at optimizing the production flows, simulation study is done for auto part manufacturing process in a company by using simulation platform Witness. By analyzing the production process, a model is built that can run in Witness. By simulation, problems are found and improvements are made to the production flows. Consequently, equipment utilization is increased by 91.43%, the production cycle time is reduced by 43.43%, and the productivity is increased by 67.80%. This is a significant improvement.

Key words: production flow, simulation, Witness
