Otimização de linha de produção de peças automotivas utilizando simulação de fluxos: estudo de caso de uma célula de fabricação de tampa traseira de veículos do tipo caminhonete

Abstract

This work aims to present the flux simulation software Tecnomatix Plant Simulation as a tool for solving factory problems, optimizing flows, balancing production and aiding decision-making. Flux simulation helps to create digital models of any factory environment, só that it is possible to validate existing scenarios or even test hypothetical ones without touching a single screw of the real line, it can predict problems of a line that has not yet been installed and indicate their solutions. Its auxiliary graphical and statistical analysis tools enable quick decision-making and increase program reliability.Through the data collected in the field, it was possible to build a one-line Digital Twin and, after calibrating its data with the real data, perform several tests in order to suggest and validate improvements in the process. With the results obtained, it was possible to achieve an increase in production capacity of 8.8%.
