Effective Manufacturing Operation based on Simulation
시뮬레이션을 이용한 공정운영 효율화
Abstract
Simulation plays an important role for system analysis. In this study, a manufacturing system has been analyzed through computer simulation. We first briefly explain the considered system with prevailing problems. We then build a simulation model using ARENA simulation language. Based on two selected performance measures, material transporter load and hourly throughput, explicit system analyses have been performed. We addressed four parameters - variation of the processing time, number of raw material transporters, quality failure rate, and machine failures - as the input parameters affecting the output measures selected. We adopted Taguchi's orthogonal array in statistical experimental design and drew meaningful results from the analysis. The results given in the study may provide a good guidance for practical applications.
