Production process improvement using discrete event simulation A case study

Process improvement can range from simple changes to major shifts, where the objective is to make the process better, easier, and faster. Today, the ability to improve current processes to meet the needs of a global and competitive market is extremely important. In this paper, a case study from a ma...

In this paper, a case study from a manufacturing company involved in producing various aluminum casting products is presented to see the implications of the planned improvement activities. Difficulty in handling too many work-in-process parts, unnecessary motions or movements, and excessive waiting time are identified as non-value-added activities across the process value stream.

A comprehensive discrete event simulation model was developed to imitate the current process.
