Abstract
Today’s scenario all manufacturing organizations are moving rapidly to adopt new process modeling, performance analysis through simulation, in order to design a new costeffective system. Organizations made several changes in their manufacturing systems to increase profit and to sustain their significance in global markets. Simulation modeling is a well accepted technique for improving process performance. In this study, the mineral water company operates the production line with less throughput, long cycle times, frequent machine failures and insufficient utilization of its resources. A simulation model is developed for the successful bottling and packaging of the production line by using Arena simulation software. The model is developed for AMWSC packaging process for returnable glass bottle Production Line. This model eliminates the bottlenecks in production line and provides optimal performance. By applying Effective Preventive Maintenance Strategy, the production line throughput is increased from 21.12% to 54.03% and the cycle time is reduced by 33.33%.
Highlights
INTRODUCTIONThe manufacturing system has been viewed as a sequential arrangement of functions such as design, manufacture, R&D, marketing, finance etc [1]
With increasing demand in production, manufacturing industries must need to increase their performance in production to increase the overall effectiveness and to face the global market, increase customer expectations
The focus of this research work is to define how the sequential nature of mineral water bottling manufacturing systems impacts the overall results with regard to throughput, cycle time, WIP inventory and cost
Summary
The manufacturing system has been viewed as a sequential arrangement of functions such as design, manufacture, R&D, marketing, finance etc [1]. The Arena modeling system from Systems Modeling Corporation is a flexible and powerful tool that allows analysts to create animated simulation models that accurately represent virtually any system [10] These individual steps are generally called production operations, and include such processes as planning, design, procurement, production, inventory, marketing, distribution, sales and management. The focus of this research work is to define how the sequential nature of mineral water bottling manufacturing systems impacts the overall results with regard to throughput, cycle time, WIP inventory and cost These are some of the critical parameters that need to be tracked for improvements in manufacturing efficiency
