Pro Model Simulation Example

1.0 Abstract
Describe problem in brief. Method used to solve the problem. Results of your analsis and
conclusion (if any) in brief.
The purpose of this lab experiment is to simulate the pull system of RF door manufacturing &
assembly. First, the current assembly process is modelled to measure the system performance in
terms of utilization, Max & Avg queue lengths, throughput and number of scrap parts. 95% CI
are applied to simulate close to real conditions. Based on model results, only the buffer stations
of white & black skins and the assembly station were 100% utilized with maximum queue of 14
parts and thruput around 519 parts.
2.0 Introduction
Describe clearly and concisely the problem in your own words. Also, present the given
information
2.1 Problem Statement
State the problem clearly along with the objective. Write down assumptions made (if any)
The purpose of this lab is to create a simulation model of a pull system for Real Seatings
RF door manufacturing
2.2 Solution Approach
Describe briefly an approach used in solving the problem
The approach used in this lab is to create Kanban system for RF door type. The focus of the
simulation is to model Just in Time processes and to create initial inventory models.
Additionally to figure out the Kanban size for each color black, white, red, and blue.
Describe the use of attributes and Statistical variables in your model.
The model has four attributes to specify color, part type, location and counter. The key
statistical variables used in this model are thruput and utilization

4.0 Verification
Discuss how you verified your model using the simulation output data produced with one
replication.
The model was verified by the use of animation, creating a flowdiagram and by monitoring
output results such as utliuzation, thruput and scrap count data
5.0 Collection and Analysis of Results
Discuss how problem was solved. Explain how data was collected. Present
relevant data and analyze them.
The simulation model was created for the new pull system for RF door manucturing. The data
was collected on 8 hours warmup, 40 runtime and 10 replications. Below is the utilization results

6.0 Conclusion
z

Write what you conclude using the relevant data.

Based on the data, we can conclude that most operation station utilization was around 100%
except for Cutting RF which was around 65%. Total thruput for 48 hr runtime was around 516
with a 3% scrap rate.
