TLDR
In this article, a manufacturing system was modelled using different levels of detail, including high level of detail and aggregation of some of the processes in the system and the third level consisting only of the main processes.Abstract:
Modelling and simulating manufacturing systems often involves several different organisational units This can make data collection difficult and it can be hard to obtain data that allows for the model to be built with a consistent level of detail To investigate the impact of a varying level of detail, a manufacturing system was modelled using different levels of detail The first model was modelled at a high level of detail containing all elements in the system The second model was an aggregation of some of the processes in the system and the third model consisted only of the main processes The experiments performed with the models, aimed at finding differences between models' outputs that originated from the choice of the level of detail The results show that there are significant differences between the models The simulation models used for this paper are made in collaboration with a company in the mobile communications industry and deals with supply chain problemsread more

Simulation guided value stream mapping and lean improvement: A case study of a tubular machining facility
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a typical value stream mapping (VSM) application enhanced by the discrete event simulation (DES) to a dedicated tubular manufacturing process, which is used to reduce uncertainty and create consensus by visualizing dynamic process views.
