Description
Summary:A production factory's need for efficient material flow is the subject of this Master’s project. The purpose of this project is to make the production and assembly process's material flow efficient by improving current AGV system in an effort to reduce line stoppages due to waiting for material supply. Simulation is used in this project due to the complexity of the production and assembly process. By creating a simulation model and executing the simulation technique, the aims are to perform analysis and improvement through simulation and result interpretation. This project makes use of the simulation programme Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. Based on the findings of the simulation, improvement methods for the material flow are examined and discussed in order to assess the advantages and disadvantages of their application in the manufacturing facility. The outcome of this project is a strategy that may be used to improve material flow throughout the production and assembly process by improving AGV system and making the best use of it. The project's goals are attained by using the simulation approach presented in this report, and proposals to improve the AGV system is elaborated.
