The greatest decision support tool ever! Simulation allows you to experiment with key factors in your existing or future production line or service process without the cost and time involved in moving staff and equipment. Determine how many machines to use, what speeds, staff and product mix to use, how much stock to hold, how many products to make. Optimise staff and equipment to ensure you have the shortest leadtimes and lowest costs. The opportunities are endless.
Tools and Techniques:
Discrete event simulation, Process model simulation, Optimisation, Design of experiments, JIT Kanban,
Line of Balance (product mix), Line balancing (cycle times), Production capacity analysis, Level scheduling, Process rules and sequencing
