Benefits of Simulation The word “simulation” is defined as “the imitation of the » Identifying manufacturing bottlenecks and operation of a real-world process or system over time.” With opportunities to increase throughput this definition in mind, it is easy to understand why simulation » Identifying cost savings opportunities such as is ubiquitous in engineering and industrial organizations; optimization of direct and indirect labor imitating a real-world process or system allows experts to study » Validating the expected performance of new and the process or system they are interested in within a controlled, existing production facilities or value streams repeatable environment. Why Simulate in Manufacturing? While simulation is well-established during product design and verification, industrial organizations typically do not employ this powerful methodology in the next stage of their value chain: the manufacturing of the product. As a result, organizations lose opportunities to study the behavior of their manufacturing processes and systems before they are deployed. Since commissioning of new manufacturing facilities, production lines and processes is often costly and capital- intensive, applying simulation methods to manufacturing can yield enormous benefits. © Engineering USA 2019 Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation discrete and continuous processes Tecnomatix Plant Simulation enables companies to create » Graphical outputs for analysis of throughput, resource well-structured, hierarchical models of production facilities, utilization, automatic bottleneck detection, Sankey lines and processes.
