Manufacturing Capacity Simulation at Primetals Technologies
ÖffentlichHerunterladbarer Inhalt
open in viewerThe objective of this MQP was to provide Primetals Technologies with a better understanding of their current manufacturing floor capacity. The team created a capacity simulation focusing on horizontal machining centers, and the Roll Housing manufacturing process. The methods used were company data, axiomatic design, direct observations, and process simulation. The team approached the problem by a hierarchical problem solving method, by the development of a process simulation in Rockwell’s ARENA® program. The team concluded that Primetals could know how their production system would respond under different changes in demand with a higher degree of accuracy. The team’s financial analysis shed light on the cost to the company of making real time changes to the production schedule.
