11. 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 teknikAbstract : 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.

12. 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)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

14. Production improvement using Discrete Event Simulation : case study of Volvo Penta engine production line
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : The global market forces manufacturers to minimise costs, meet production schedules, and improve productivity to stay competitive. The produced products require higher customisations, which are affecting the complexity of the production system. Companies seeking methods and tools to improve their production system. READ MORE

15. Discrete-event dynamic system simulation of a heterogeneous manufacturing process
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistikAbstract : A heterogeneous, discrete manufacturing line is being transformed towards a continuous process. Higher demands for efficiency and decreased flexibility of the new process requires more knowledge of the process. READ MORE
