TL;DR: An innovative process that combines lean, simulation and optimization to improve the material flow of a manufacturing company is presented and resulted in an improved layout and material flow that employs an automated guided vehicle.
Abstract: Companies are continuously working towards system and process improvement to remain competitive in a global market There are different methods that support companies in the achievement of that goal This paper presents an innovative process that combines lean, simulation and optimization to improve the material flow of a manufacturing company A description of each step of the process details the lean tools and principles taken into account, as well as the results achieved by the application of simulation and optimization The project resulted in an improved layout and material flow that employs an automated guided vehicle In addition, lean wastes related to transport, inventory levels as well as waiting times were reduced The utilization of the process that combines lean, simulation and optimization was considered valuable for the success of the project
