Manufacturing Simulation Reduces Inventories and Order Lead Times
A manufacturer deployed Digital Twin for Quality Control & Inspection in Industrial Machinery. rockwellautomation.com reports no complete outcome metric.
What the manufacturer was trying to fix
Management wanted to move from traditional methods to adopt a lean manufacturing philosophy in an effort to capture savings across the enterprise.
What the manufacturer deployed
Rockwell Software Arena Simulation Software A lean manufacturing simulation model was created that replicated the existing assembly system as well as a potential system of similar capacity that modified the existing design to incorporate lean manufacturing shop-floor principles. Arena’s manufacturing simulation software generated performance statistics for both systems and measured each system’s resource requirements and performance in terms of various time-based measurements. The lean manufacturing simulation model showed the manufacturer how to: Avoid unnecessary material handling Avoid tran
Results
The lean manufacturing simulation model showed the manufacturer how to: Avoid unnecessary material handling Avoid transportation and system delays Remove redundant inspection and testing procedures Better utilize the existing labor force
