Study Guide

Objective

After completing the course, the student will understand what production simulation means and what benefits can be achieved by using simulation. Students can use different simulation programs to visualize and optimize production operations and have the skills required to carry out a simulation project.

In addition, the student should be able to:
-Evaluate their own work and that of others
-Critically study and give feedback to report works
-Crictically evaluate different technical methods
-Account for and discuss opinions
-Argument and reason around technical questions

Content

Simulation, theory and practice.
Modeling a factory floor.
Optimization of material flow, identification of bottlenecks, sequencing (reduction of blockages and waiting times), dimensioning of manufacturing and transport resources.
Cost calculation for simulations.
Flow simulations with logic program.
Simulation of order intake and scheduling.
