1. Production optimization using Discrete Event Simulation : Case study of Volvo Penta engine production line
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : Simulation allows decision-makers in modern industries analyse the outputs of specific systems, and predict future ones based on certain decision variables when in combination with optimization and Lean. This project studies the production line of boat engines in Volvo Penta at Vara (Sweden), carrying out different experiments based on a verified and validated model of the real production system using FACTS Analyzer in order to improve the key performance indicators whilst comparing the optimization performance of four genetic algorithms (NSGA-II, NSGA-III, PSO and DE) and extracting knowledge using data mining.
