Manufacturing & MRO Simulation
Aerospace product manufacturing and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) production processes involve numerous complex and interconnect processes making the ability to predict performance difficult. Discrete event simulation can model a series of complex independent processes, and predict outcomes. The simulation imitates the time-dependent and stochastic behavior of real-world processes.
Performing and analyzing discrete event simulations allows the testing of the planned production system before or during production execution. The digital model allows users to run experiments and what-if scenarios without disturbing an existing production system. It can also be used in planning long before the real system is installed. Extensive analysis tools, statistics, and charts help users evaluate manufacturing scenarios and make fast, reliable decisions early in production planning.
Supply Chain Simulations
A supply chain simulation makes supply chain management dynamic by predicting the performance of the logistic network over time. The system takes the logical rules of the standard supply chain and executes it as a simulation and helps the user gain insight into the real behavior of the system. The supply chain simulation takes multiple factors into consideration, namely, customer order count, inventory storage and capacity, factory production capacity, the availability of supplier workers, materials availability, and much more.
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation
A virtual model representing the physical layout and process details of an aerospace manufacturing or MRO production line, a digital twin of the process, can be very effective for predicting the actual production performance. Although we can work with any manufacturing simulation software, our modeling tool of choice is Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, a discrete event simulation software for production throughput analysis and optimization. Tecnomatix Plant Simulation allows us to model, simulate and optimize manufacturing and logistics systems and their processes. This simulation software produces extensive production statistics and key performance indicators (KPIs) required for in-depth analysis of predicted results.
Plant Simulation helps manufacturers and MROs:
- Virtually commission production lines to detect and eliminate problems that otherwise would require cost and time-consuming corrective measures during production ramp-up
- Minimize the investment cost of production lines without jeopardizing the required output
- Optimize the performance and energy usage of existing production systems by taking measures that have been verified in a simulation environment, and benefits quantified, prior to implementation
Operationalize Your Models
Aging Aircraft Solutions has been able to operationalize Tecnomatix Plant Simulation models using Mendix, low-code rapid application development platform via the Mendix, optimize my plant solution.
This capability allows the production process digital twin (the simulation) to be put in the hands of the plant managers and shop floor leaders to enable them to predict and optimize production processes in their day to day operations via a customized user friendly interface. This solutions capabilities include the ability to:
- Improve on-time delivery
- Improve equipment utilization
- Predict order delivery dates and optimize schedules
- Identify bottlenecks in the production processes
- Simplify simulation data collection and contextualization
