Processing Cost Reduction of Lemon Products in Community Enterprises using Flexsim Simulation

Abstract

This research aims to study the processing of Eureka lemon shampoo products throughout the production line and reduce production costs by using simulations using the Flexsim software. The data was obtained from Pasutara Farm located in Suanphueng district, one of the famous places in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand. The research simulated the situation by verifying the accuracy of the imported data to be accurate and true to the system in all respects from the results. Research results show that by implementing three stages of production improvement on the nine-workstation production line, the time cost was reduced by 39.58%. Therefore, based on such simulations, this establishment should improve its processes according to the results of the research.
