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].
