4. 3. Using discrete-event simulation to enable implementation of picking and palletizing robots: A case study

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Maja Kfouri; Adan Reimers; [2023]
   Keywords : DES; Palletizer robot; Internal logistics; Goods-receipt; KPI; OEE;

   Abstract : Aim: The study aims to develop a DES model to evaluate the impacts of implementing packaging and palletizing robotics in the goods-receipts process. Research questions: RQ1: “What are the requirements when developing a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model of the goods receipt process in the internal logistics section of a manufacturing company?”, RQ2: “What is the impact of implementing a new layout with industrial palletizer robotics in manufacturing companies' internal logistics - specifically the goods receipt process in terms of robot Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), throughput, and WIP?” and, RQ3: “What considerations should companies take into account when implementing industrial palletizer robotics in their internal logistics, in terms of process flow?” Methodology: This study applied an inductive approach, letting the empirical findings guide the themes explored in the theoretical framework while having a constant interplay between empirical data collection and the construction of the simulation model.

5. 4. A study of how Lean principles affect process ergonomics : A case study at Volvo CE Braås using discrete event simulation

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

   Author : Jessica Peltonen; Jessica Borg; [2022]
   Keywords : 94 6-rule; DES; Disassembly; Ergonomic; Facts Analyzer; Flow theory; Gemba; Lean; Optimal zone; Standard deviation; Statistics; Survey; SWEA; Variation.;

   Abstract : To stay competitive in today's market, organizations focus on efficiency to reduce costs. Since there are still processes that are manually handled, there is a risk of affecting workers health during streamlining. Volvo CE Braås are currently working with a takt time of 35 minutes throughout their facility. READ MORE

6. 5. Discrete Event Simulation of the Paint shop at VBG Truck Equipment : A method for Work shift Optimization and Balanced Production flow

   University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

   Author : Athira Ashok Kumar Prasanna Kumari; [2022]
   Keywords : Discrete Event Simulation; Work shifts; Bottlenecks; Production flow; simulation mode;

   Abstract : The background for this thesis work emanates from a desire to drive the production of the VBG Truck Equipment factory in Vänersborg a step further to catch up with the Industry 4.0 standards. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a widely adopted tool within industries to model real-world systems to improve their processes. READ MORE
