Abstract: |
Fashion is one
of the world’s most important industries, driving a significant part of the
global economy representing, if it were a country, the seventh-largest GDP in
the world in terms of market size. Focusing on the footwear industry,
assembly line balancing and sequencing represents one of the more significant
challenges fashion companies have to face. This paper presents the results of
a simulation-optimization framework implementation in such industry,
highlighting the benefits of the use of simulation together with a finite capacity
scheduling optimization model. The developed simulation-optimization
framework includes the conduction of a scenario analysis that compares
production KPIs (in terms of average advance, delay
and resource saturation) related to different scenarios that include or not
one or more type of stochastic events (i.e. rush orders and/or delays in the
expected critical components delivery date). |
