ANALYSIS OF PRECISION MANUFACTURING PROCESSES THROUGH SIMULATION METHODS

Modern technologies aid production system has become easier than ever before. Simulation helps in optimize the complication in the manufacturing processes. In this study we are using Tecnomatix product life management software to identify the bottleneck, throughput, buffer occupancy for the precision manufacturing process. Production line simulation has done for the discrete interval time i.e. Poisson distribution (λ) and Log-normal distribution (σ, µ). CNC machines are used in production line, for the same experiment were conducted to identify bottleneck in the continuous production process and different buffer occupancy and by detailed time study and process flow along the line. This paper aid to identify bottleneck operations and work in process status and proposes process changes for improve production efficiency. It helps in recognize the status of buffer for present machine efficiency for throughput improvement using design experimentation.
