MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A PRODUCTION LINE USING TECNOMATIX PLANT SIMULATION

Abstract

Effective management of production processes is an indispensable part of
modern businesses. Modeling of manufacturing processes is the fastest technique to
be able to find exact solutions, and it allows for accurate forecasting and allows
evaluation of different alternatives. One of the main solutions of production planning
is the simulation model of this process. Many new tools are used to support decision
making when designing manufacturing systems. In this article, the research team
presented the results obtained using modeling techniques to simulate a realistic
stainless steel pipe production system using Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software.
The research results will show the advantages and disadvantages of the current
production system, and will also allow conclusions to be drawn about the
effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a system developed in the future.
