Webinar: Turn Bottlenecks into Breakthroughs with Simulation
What if you could test the change before making it?
A new layout, an extra production line, AGVs or more automation: these are big decisions, and once the money is spent there is no undo button. Most teams still decide based on spreadsheets, experience and a best guess at where the real bottleneck is.
Simulation changes that. With a digital model of your production, you can try out ideas, see exactly where flow breaks down, and compare scenarios before anything changes on the shop floor, without disrupting your running operation.
In this webinar we show how Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation works in practice, using a real customer case. No simulation experience needed.
How Mr. Mallo used simulation to plan its factory expansion
Mr. Mallo has made marshmallows since 1907. Today it is a European market leader, producing around 14,000 tons a year in three factories in Belgium and Spain for customers in more than 50 countries.
-
The challenge: Mr. Mallo wanted to expand its Wetteren factory, but how big should the investment be, and where should it go? Seasonal demand and many different recipes made the bottlenecks hard to pin down.
-
The solution: Emixa built a Tecnomatix Plant Simulation model of the full production process, covering different recipes and seasonal demand patterns.
-
The result: Investment targeted where it has the most impact, reliable weekly production schedules, inventory forecasts three months ahead, and much smaller safety margins on stock
In the webinar, we walk through this case and show what the model revealed.
