Simulation of production systems and processes using Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 11
Oportunities
Production planning with Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is used during planning, realisation and operation of the factory [Bangsow-2008]:
- Planning:
- Detection of bottlenecks and optimisation,
- Detection of hidden production potentials,
- Analysis of capacity utilisation,
- Comparison of alternative approaches, and
- Variation of production parameters.
- Realisation:
- Performance tests,
- Simulation of exceptions,
- Employee training, and
- Ramp-up and stop behaviour.
- Operation:
- Testing of control alternatives,
- Quality management,
- Employee training, and
- Prediction of lead time [Bangsow-2008].
