Simulation Analysis of Production Control Methods in Manufacturing Systems
Abstract:
It is very important to improve shop production performance in manufacturing process. The main manufacturing management methods include Kanban and Drum Buffer Rope (DBR) systems. In this paper computer simulation is used to evaluate the performance of these manufacturing systems. A simulation model was developed to collect and analyze some key performance indexes including total system output, flow time and average WIP invention. The optimal buffer size was found out by studying the two manufacturing systems at different capacities. The systems were also compared with and without machine breakdowns. The simulation model provided a significant insight into the two systems and the benefits of both the systems were realized
