Abstract: |
As competitive pressures increase
within the manufacturing sectors of economies worldwide, and especially
within the automotive sub-sector, the importance of achieving operational
efficiencies to reduce costs and thence to increase profits while keeping and
attracting customers steadily increases. Simulation, time studies, and value
stream mapping have long been key allies of the industrial engineer assigned
to find and progress along the often difficult and challenging road leading
to such efficiencies. The presentation here, and undertaken collaboratively
between the university and the company involved, concentrates primarily on
the use and achievements of discrete-event process simulation in improving
the manufacture and material handling of forged metal components sold in the
automotive and industrial manufacturing marketplace. |
