Simulation of vise production process using Flexsim Software

Abstract

In the industrial the process of clamping on an object is an important process carried out to facilitate the work when the process of cutting, sculpting, welding and etc. A vise is a clamping tool to clamp a workpiece milled. Using the vise, the workpiece clamped tightly to facilitate the work and the results of a process is maximum. The components contained in a vise have their own functions. This research is about simulating vise production process. The purpose of this study is to model the vise production process using Flexsim software and compare the simulation results data with the vise production target data to find out whether the simulation describes the actual condition of the vise production process. The results obtained in the manufacture of vise production lines using Flexsim software produce an output of 22 units for 1 shift / day or 7 working hours. The vise production line simulation model produces 25 vise production target data, 22 simulation results data and 12% deviation occurs, so the simulation describes the actual condition of the vise production process.
