Simulation of Product Logistic, Investigation of Facility Layout Capabilities

In this study an investigation of material flow through a specific manufacturing environment will be conducted. Production logistic for selected material depends on the layout of processing machines in the job shop and the product path. Sophisticated control of productivity, costs, equipment utilization, product path, production times, production capacity etc. is achievable with adequate data monitoring and understanding of all relevant data. Simulation will enable detection of the most influential parameters and obtained results will be used as a guide for production scheduling and a more scientific decision making. Method strategy specific for given production will be created and an improvement of overall performance is expected in current plant production. Comparisons of several layouts and their performance will be analyzed in order to satisfy management demands and validate investments. A model of optimum resource load in order to achieve desired output will be monitored and further improved. The simulations will be conducted with software Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 9. The experiment data was conducted in middle sized plant that produces chairs, tables and other furniture.
