Arena 模擬軟體讓製造組織能夠提高產能、識別流程瓶頸、改善物流並評估潛在的流程切換。透過 Arena，您可以建模和分析流程流動、包裝系統、工作路由、庫存控制、倉儲、配送和人力需求。
製造營運正面臨著比以往更高效率的壓力。同時，它們也變得更加專業化。製造流程的最佳化需要一次就做對。沒有猜測的空間。在評估改善選項時，了解系統互動、變異性和資源互動是必須的。這些互動對製造至關重要，且幾乎不可能在試算表中建模，導致決策可能遺漏真實系統的重要面向。
什麼是製造優化？
製造優化是您製造流程的電腦化模型，可用於驗證、測試和提升流程效能。虛擬世界中的模擬可用於比現實世界測試更快速、經濟且低風險地預測和改善實際效能。其結果是讓公司能夠透過納入相關變異性與系統互動的營運模型，提升產能並降低成本。透過功能性模型，可以確定以下所有項目：
- 識別製造營運中的瓶頸及設備利用率
- 在製造時間變異性以及產品切換和維護停機時間影響下，可達成的生產產能範圍
- 原物料與成品的理想容量、儲存區域、儲槽、輸送帶及其他設備規模決策
有效的優化需要模擬，而這正是Arena能夠協助的地方。
Arena是全球領先的商業流程模擬解決方案，為世界各地的公司提供支援。Arena讓製造商能夠實施真正適用於其營運的生產優化解決方案。

Plant Simulation Software
Successful plant operation requires that multiple process operations are coordinated to work at maximum efficiency. If your production line is unbalanced, the result can be increased WIP, higher off-grade material and a reduction in plant throughput. Logistics inefficiencies can also increase costs when production must stop due to resource constraints or available storage capacity. Simulation can help you optimize your plant processes to reduce costs and improve throughput.
What is Plant Simulation?
Plant simulation software allows you to create digital models of your production processes to improve how each process interacts with, transitions to, and is affected by the next process. For example:- Manufacturing: model the interactions and variability between systems and resources. Determine inefficiencies and bottlenecks as well as the ways downstream operations can impact production.
- Packaging: model the effects of adjustments to machine or conveyor speeds, as well as system downtime and maintenance.
- Logistics: determine how scheduling or resource allocation affects efficiency with receiving, distribution, and warehousing.
Lean/Six Sigma Simulation Software
Lean manufacturing attempts to maximize value by identifying and eliminating waste, and Six Sigma attempts to improve quality by minimizing process variabilities that cause defects. One of the most significant challenges in implementing either of these methodologies is measuring how changes to a variable or a process affects that process and other processes downstream. Simulation can capture the impact of variability in ways that spreadsheets and other methods cannot.
What is Lean/Six Sigma Simulation?
Lean and Six Sigma simulation software produces digital models of your processes that allow you to see how hypothetical changes could ultimately reduce waste and defects, and improve value through cost reduction and improved throughput.Here are some examples of ways it has been used across several different industries:
- Manufacturing Rework: Automotive parts fail inspection and require rework, which is also causing gridlock in the system. Improving the pass rate will result in longer processing times, but the increase is small enough that overall throughput will be improved and chances for gridlock will be reduced.
- Order Processing: Orders for heavy trucks can contain conflicting configurations or are missing key information when they are sent to manufacturing. A new order processing system will catch errors before they are submitted by the dealers, resulting in more consistent processing times.
- Cancer Treatment Scheduling: when patients with the shortest jobs were scheduled first, staff and equipment resources were more available to patients with longer jobs later in the day.
- Managing Hospital Blood Work: using smaller trays to carry blood work tubes improved value by reducing wasted resources and turnaround time.
1Assembly Line Simulation Software
There is a constant demand to increase production speed, product quality, and efficiency on production lines, while reducing costs. The challenge is obtaining reliable data about the ways certain variables can impact overall performance. For example:
- Machine reliability: if a machine is refurbished or replaced, how much will this affect overall efficiency, downtime, and product quality?
- Machine adjustment: if a machine is recalibrated to increase speed, how much will this impact product quality and the condition of the machine?
- Line Balancing: what machine adjustments need to be made to balance the load across the entire line in order to maximize throughput?
- Operators: do investments in additional operators, training, or automation reduce errors and performance bottlenecks?
- Additional lines: does the demand for increased throughput or a new product require a new production line, or can existing lines handle the demand?
Simulation offers the actionable intelligence you need before making adjustments to your line.
What is Assembly Line Simulation?
Assembly line simulation software provides a computer-based model of your production line that can be used to validate, test and improve the performance. Simulations in the virtual world can be used to predict and improve actual performance quickly, cheaply and with lower risk than tests in the real-world. The result is enabling companies to increase throughput and reduce cost by using operational models that incorporate relevant variability and system interactions.相關產業
